Once you have bought the ingredients, it is ridiculously cheap to make, and, as you can see, makes about 9 litres approx. I had my doubts at first...there really isn't much in it, and when told it would cool to a gel, it looked as if it would stay like mucky water.
However, the next day I checked, prepared to ditch the lot, and lo and behold, it did exactly as promised. It is a thick gel, and you use 1/4 cup for a wash. You could add something to make it smell, but the Lux flakes are pleasant anyway.
This is what you do. First, I should say, you will have to have enough containers at hand. I have been saving these for a while now. A wide mouth is a good idea.
1 cup Lux Flakes
1/2 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Add these ingredients to a large saucepan with 1 1/2 litres of water.
Boil until dissolved.
In a large bucket or container, put 8 litres of cold water.
Add hot soapy liquid and stir.
Pour into bottles and leave to cool.
Once cold, and gel-like, use 1/4 cup in the wash.
