Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel. You use ½ cup per load. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>**A few things to note about the soap** <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>~The finished soap will not be a solid gel. It will be more of a watery gel that has been accurately described as an "egg noodle soup" look. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>~The soap is a low sudsing soap. So if you don’t see suds, that is ok. Suds are not what does the cleaning, it is the ingredients in the soap.<BR/><BR/>I copied and pasted it from the website, so I am not sure how it turned out!<BR/>Got to go now!!<BR/>LydiaAbigail and Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401350742428840193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575750514154066329.post-83225220945412004532009-02-28T11:46:00.000-05:002009-02-28T11:46:00.000-05:00Hey girls!

Once on a Wednesday night, we went to Chik-Fil-A, for supper. Well, with five hungry little chicks,and a Momma trying to keep them all in line, we all went in. Boy were we a sight to see! I am afraid to know what people thougt, there was this one table of teenagers, that were staring at us, and who knows what they thought when we went out with a huge bag of food with Chick-fil-A printed across it. I guess thats what you get when you have a big family!! Could I post this blog address on my blog?? Got to go!<BR/>LydiaAbigail and Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401350742428840193noreply@blogger.com
