- Fill ⅔ of a large tub with warm water.
* I see some use hot water but this is how I did it. - You will then add ½ cup of Borax for every gallon of water and allow to completely dissolve in the water.
- After that add ½ cup of washing soda for every gallon of water.
- Then add ¾ cup of laundry detergent for every gallon of water.
- Next add your laundry.
- You will let your laundry to soak for 5 – 6 hours, stirring every hour.
