1). Grate the bar of soap until you have 2 cups of shredded soap.
2). Boil 1 qt. of water in a medium-sized pot.
3). Place the grated soap into the boiling water and then set the stove on low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the soap is melted in the water.
4). Place the borax and the baking soda into the pail. Pour the water with the melted soap into the pail and stir until the ingredients are dissolved.
5). Add 2 gallons of water to the mixture and stir again.
6). Cover the pail with a lid. A plate will work if you don't have a lid for your bucket.
7). Stir the soap before each use. Use about 1/4 cup of detergent for each load.
