When I was making my own laundry detergent the other day, I wondered what to do with that little 1/3 bar of leftover Fels Naptha soap. I really don't want it just hanging around my house.
I had seen a recipe for a pre-treat stain remover using soap. I thought I'd give it a try. I'm still playing with the quantities because the article I read had none. Here's what I did.

I used equal parts soap and boiling water, but the end result wasn't the 'jelly' I was promised. I'm suggesting putting 1 part soap and 1 1/4 part boiling water. ie: 1 Cup soap plus 1 1/4 Cups boiling water or 1/2 Cup soap and just about 2/3 Cup boiling water.

Once I use up my pint of pre-treat, I'll let you know how the new ratio goes. I just know that 1/1 is not enough water. Let me know your results!
Keep watching---I've also given up shampoo and will let you know how my all natural hair
treatments go. So far, I'm loving it.
