thank you for sharing this!

I also found the Fels soap at Kroger, but I usually can't find it either. I stock up when it's available.

I actually can find it at this hardware store that I go to. They carry it at Meijer, Walmart and my local grocery store etc. in the laundry section.

Thank you to all for the wonderful tips. I will do this. ct newbie

I make my own detergent using Ivory soap. Also, I do not add the water and use it in a powder form. Love it!!!!

Thank you to all for the tips on making this inexpensive laundry soap. I found Fels-Naptha soap on line. I bought a large quantity and will split it with my daughter. I expect the grandchildren will want it also. The other ingredients are easily available.

I have been using this recipe for nearly two years. I works very well and is very inexpensive.

What is washing Soda? I want to try this. Thank you

Its made by Arm and Hammer, but instead of being baking soda.........its washing soda. Should be with other detergent products. Small grocery stores might not have this, but Walmart does.
Good Luck,
Jo Ann

Actually, my local Walmart didn't have washing soda but had the extra large box of baking soda sitting next to the 20 Mule Team Borax. I found the washing soda at my local Ace Hardware. Ann in TN
