The first 4 ingredients are what you need to buy. The next 5 are to make the actual recipe.
2
Dissolve soaps and detergent in 5 gallon bucket with 4 cups of boiling water.( I used the paint stirrer and drill for this the 2nd time I made it, it dissolved the ingredients much better than by hand).
3
Once dissolved add another 4 cups of very hot water.
4
Stir well and add enough water to fill 5 gallon bucket to the top.
5
Let sit overnight. Soap will gel up and you will need to stir completely with your hand or use a paint stirrer on the end of a drill. You can fill empty laundry bottles or keep in bucket with a cover.
6
1 - 5 gallon bucket will make about 80 loads of detergent.
7
( A little extra math- 1 box of Arm and Hammer, 2 boxes of 20-Mule Team, 15 bars of Ivory and 8 bars of Fels will make about 1200 loads of laundry for about $35.96).
8
Also I bought an inexpensive grater just for the soap. It was suggested to use a food processor but I didn't like doing that.
