I want you to Save money...by making your own liquid detergent
Ingredients:
One bar of Ivory Soap
One cup Borax
One cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
Water
Grater
5 Gallon bucket with lid
Medium pot & long handled spoon
Empty pre-used jug (laundry Detergent or juice jug)

Grate soap, add to large pot with 4 cups of water, stir over med. heat until dissolved.
Transfer melted soap and water to bucket, add Borax and Washing Soda, stir until powders have completely dissolved.
Fill bucket to 5 gallon mark with warm water.
Stir,cover, and let it "set" for 24 hours
Wisk or stir to break up any lumps
Fill juice jug half full of your detergent and half full of water.

Their you have your new money saving laundry detergent.
When using your new detergent, use 1/4 cup per load for front loading HE washers
and 1/2 cup for top loading, regular machines

You can use White vinegar as a Fabric Softener also.
