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
