step #1: Grate 1 bar of Kirks Castile soap (or Fels-Naptha) soap bar. We used our large-hole standing cheese grater, which worked great and went fast. You can find these soap bars usually in the laundry aisle at your grocery store. Our soap bar was about $1.50.
Step #2: Add grated bar of soap to saucepan with 4 Cups hot tap water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted completely.
So, you can either add just 1/2 cup of soap gel to water at beginning of top-load washing cycle, or only use 1/4 cup in front-load machines. Are you ready to start saving over $100+/yr?
An extra special thanks to my sister, Amy, who gave me this recipe for homemade laundry soap, who taught me everything about couponing, and saving, and living in love! Thanks and I love you!
