Best Laundry Soap Ever

It has been sometime since I last posted.  Sarah got to where she was having a lot of seizures and it just didn't seem like I had time to keep up my blog.  A lot has happened and I have a lot to share about what I have been learning.  I will have to tell you about that later but early on in this blog I posted a recipe for making laundry soap.  I thought that I has posted what it cost me to make a 5 gallon bucket of soap for but I can't fine it so here it is:  If I have all my figures right it cost me around 1.30 plus or minus to make a 5 gallon bucket of soap.  Then I take a old dish soap bottle and fill it half full with laundry soap mixture and fill it the rest of the way with water.  It takes about 1/8 - 1/4 of a cup of that mixture for each load of laundry. 
Here is the recipe again: 

Laundry Soap 
1 Zotie bar            
1 c Baking soda    

1/2 c Borax

Grate one bar of Zotie soap.  Heat 8 cups of water to boil and added Zotie soap turn down heat and stir until all of Zotie soap is dissolved.  In 5 gallon bucket add 1 cup Baking soda ½ borax and 8 cups of hot water and stir until dissolved.  Then combine the Zotie soap mixture to the borax/baking soda mixture together in the 5 gallon bucket stir well and put a lid on and let set over night.

Ready for Laundry:

Fill recycled laundry container with half Zotie Soap mixture and half water shake and mix well.  At 1/3 cup to laundry load.

I have been using it for sometime now and I have to say it is one of the best laundry soaps I have ever used.  It takes out grease and leaves the wash clean.  I notice that even my husbands white socks that have turned gray and ugly from his work boots are coming out much whiter looking.  If I have spots on the anything I just put a little on the spot before I toss it in the wash.  I have been asked if this works in a front load washer and I have to say yes.  I have a front load and it works great in it.
Hope you will try this and save $$$$ for your family.
