entire bar. You can also put it in a food processor to grind it to a nice fine
consistency. When you're finished, no large chunks should remain; you want it fine

1
Fill a large bowl with 2/3 to 3/4 of a gallon of water. Hold a
cheese grater or rasp over the bowl and begin grating the soap
into the water, stirring to prevent the soap from sticking
together. Allow this mixture to sit for up to one week and whisk it
periodically to create a uniform consistency. This step liquefies
the soap.
2
Strain the soap and water mixture through a sieve or
cheesecloth, pressing any lumps with the back of a spoon to
force them through the sieve.
3
Add 1/2 cup of washing soda, 1 soupspoon-sized measure
of salt and 1 cup of vinegar to the mixture, whisking well.
4
Add enough water to the mixture to create a total of 2
gallons. Mix well, and you have your own eco-friendly and
inexpensive laundry detergent. To use, pour 1 cup of the
detergent into each load of laundry.
