5 gallon bucket with a lid.
4 Cups hot tap water
5 oz of Zote soap bar **
1 Cup Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda (not baking soda) **
1 cup 20 Mule team borax.**
4 oz Oxiclean **
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water, add melted soap, washing soda and borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot tap water. Sitr, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
This mixture is a 2/1 mixture so when you put in a used container (used detergent bottle) only fill half way and fill rest with water.
Stir the 2/1 mixture before putting in smaller container. Store with the lid on the 5 gallon bucket unless you have enough container to store otherwise.
You can also add essential oil to sent the detergent. 10-20 drops per 2 gallons is recommended.
