Homemade Laundry Soap

HOMEMADE LAUNDRY SOAP Using a gallon, or other, bottle or container; Add 4 cups of very hot, (but doesn't have to be boiling), water. To this add 3 TB Borax (20 mule team), powder; 3 TB Washing Soda, (NOT BAKING SODA. You used to be able to buy it at Wal-Mart, but not lately. I bought it at I believe Giant Eagle in the clothes washing soap isle ... Arm & Hammer brand in a yellow box!.), 2 TB of D awn dish washing liquid. Swirl it around to mix it together until it is dissolved. Use 1/4 to 1 cup or up to 2 cups on very dirty laundry in a top loader. I used about 1 cup to a load in our front loader. Cost - about 20 cents per gallon. If you can't find Washing Soda this can be made by placing regular baking soda on a pan in the oven @ 400 degrees until it turns grainy.
