2 oz. pure castile soap
1/2 c. borax powder
1/2 c. washing soda
heat castile soap in 6 cups hot water until soap is dissolved
add borax and washing soda until dissolved
remove from heat
pour mixture plus an additional 4 c. hot water into 2 gallon bucket; stir
add 22 c. water (=1 gallon and 6 cups)
cover and let it sit about 24 hours
mixture will be liquid at first. with time it will gel in a gloppy sort of way.
use 1/2 c. per load
if you need a booster (like for dirty diapers or auto mechanic clothes) add up to 1/4 c. borax per load. you can also add vinegar as a brightener. but if you have hard water, watch out for an acidic smell that can result from more than 1/4-1/2 c. vinegar per load.
