I grated my bar of Fels Naptha soap and tried to dissolve some of it in cold water, then warm water. It wouldn't dissolve. So I went ahead and boiled and simmered the soap and made the liquid mixture because I thought that if I couldn't get it to dissolve in a pan of water it wasn't likely to dissolve in the washing machine. The dissolving seemed to depend on the temperature of the water not the amount of agitation of the water.

I added enough water to make the 2 gallons total. However, I've only washed two loads so far. I am hoping this doesn't have to be stirred or shaken. I have it in a bucket and I'm dipping out of it. Not really convenient that way. I plan to pour it into a smaller bottle and pour from that.
