Laundry Detergent

Add the melted mixture to 3 gallons of HOT tap water in a 5 gallon bucket
Stir in 1Cup Arm and Hammer Washing Soda
Stir in 1 Cup of 20 Mule Team Borax
Optional: Stir in a swirl of Dawn
Let sit w/lid on bucket for 24 hours
Stir after 24 hours to break up the solid
*This detergent works great! However it is a lumpy- gel consistency and needs to be stirred now and then.
Use 1 Cup to a large load of Laundry.

That sounds really cool I wonder if it is okay to use on sensitive skin?? If so I might be getting creative!!
I will ask her. I also had someone ask if it faded clothes. I know Jaimie has used it for at least 7+ months, and she loves it!!! I don't know if anyone in her family has sensitive skin. I will find out.
OK thank you!
I think I'll try it (partly because I happen to have a 5+ gallon bucket sitting around!)
