    3 Cups water
    1 Cup borax - 20 mule team
    2 1/2 - 3 Gallons of water
    A big spoon and a big bucket

    Grate the bar of soap. Place three cups of water and the soap on the stove. Simmer and stir occasionally, until the soap is completely melted. Fill the big bucket with 2 1/2 - 3 gallons of warm water. Pour the soap mixture into the bucket and stir well. Add the borax and stir really well. Use about 1 cup of laundry soap per load of laundry.
