It is best if you open your fels-naptha bar and let it dry out for a day. It makes it easier to grate up. you can use your food processor if you prefer. I happen to use a hand grater it takes a bit to do it this way and is the longest step. try to get it as fine as possible. another tip i found out is if you grate it large like you would cheese instead of zesting. let the shaving dry out for a couple days and you can crunch them up really fine.
Go ahead and put your shaving in an air tight apothecary jar or screw top container.To the shavings you will add 1 cup of Washing soda. It must be WASHING soda not baking soda. Also add 1 cup of Borax. Borax will usually be lumpy so i put it through a siv right over the top of the jar. you can put it in a plastic bag and just get the lumps out yourself.
So to review. 1 bar of fels-natha grated, 1 cup of washing soda, and 1 cup of borax. easy at that.
To use: you will use 1 Tablespoon. i know that sounds CRAZY! but trust me. 1 tablespoon per load, use 2 Tablespoons for really dirty clothes. This soap will NOT suds.
Now i will be honest. this is great soap i will not lie! you will not need to use fabric softener. you clothes will be so soft and have Zero smell. 1 batch can usually do about 30-35 loads. i make double and it usually last me a couple months.
But, it still have some trouble getting whites white. so use a couple of methods. 1 cup of lemon juice in my white or 1 cup peroxide. but are great natural whitener.
Give it a whirl! find out if a all natural and eco friendly soap can work better then anything you have ever bought in your whole life.
