First gather together the needed items. • Home made soap 170 g• Washing Soda 120 g• Borax (If difficult to get may change to STTP) 100 g
• Water 7.6 Liters
• Fragrance 30 cc.
• And A bucket.
Ingredient:
• Grating the 170 g of soap
• Then measure out the washing soda and borax into a small bowl and setting it aside, also pre-measure all the needed water. You will need to have 4 cups of hot water to add to your soap as soon as you pour it into the bucket. I put those 4 cups into a canning jar and put them in my microwave to heat while I start the rest of the process.
Method:
• Mix the grated soap with the water
• Leave this on a medium burner and stir now and again until the soap melts
• Then remove from the heat and add the washing soda and borax
Method:
• Stir until all is dissolved
• Pour this mixture into your bucket
• Add those 4 cups of hot water
Method:
• Now add the remaining water. I saved a few gallon jugs for this purpose. I can have the jugs filled with water and waiting to be poured into the bucket.
• You can scent this with 30 cc of essential oil or fragrance oil.
• Stir and let it sit until the next day
