Do you make your own laundry soap?

Are you talking table salt? And how much?

Salt, huh? What kind and how much? I have hard water also and have always bought Calgon to put in my laundry-somebody say expensive!?! If you wouldn't mind imparting your wisdom, I would love it. Thanks!

I do. I have found the Fels Naptha at Kroger, along with the Washing Soda. I found the Borax and the Washing Soda at Publix.

Don't substitute baking soda for washing soda!

Here is the recipe I am using....

2 cups grated zote soap
1 cup washing soda
1 cup borax
2 cups salt

I had water softener salt left from the time we had an ice storm and Walmart ran out of Ice Melt so I used that. No reason plain salt wouldn't work. If you are using a fine grind salt, you could probably get away with only using 1 cup.

I have found Fels Naptha in shaws. It is in the laundry soap isle. It is mixed in the borax area of the isle.

We don't have Publix, but we may have Ace in a neighboring town. I'll check. Thanks everyone!
