Laundry Soap

A dry powder alternative to the liquid version — no cooking required, and it stores indefinitely in a sealed container without separating.

What you'll need

• 1 cup finely grated bar soap
• 1 cup washing soda
• A tight-sealing jar

Steps

1. Grate the bar soap as finely as possible using a box grater or food processor.
2. Combine the grated soap with the washing soda in the jar and shake or stir until evenly blended.
3. Store sealed in a cool, dry place.
4. Use 1–2 tablespoons per load, dissolved directly in the wash water.
