I just tried this in a recipe for home made laundry detergent
1 bar Fels Naptha grated/shredded
1 cup A&H SUPER WASH SODA 55 OZ
1 cup Dial #00368 76OZ 20 Mule Team Borax
mix all ingredients and store in a air tight container and use 2 tablespoons at a time.
It got the cloths clean and left them bright and fluffy. leaves no scent. It does not suds up but it does work

Fels-Naptha is the most amazing spot cleaner I have found and it's easy to use! It takes out grass stains, very oily stains, ring around the collar and even orange soda pop that has been on a t-shirt for 2 weeks. Just wet the problem spot and rub the wet soap bar into the bad stain. Once you have the spot all lathered up, rub the fabric too, like how the old fashioned scrub board was used. Throw the clothing in the washing machine. Remember heat sets the stain, so don't put the item in the dryer until you make sure the stain is really gone. Really bad items like fabric yellowed by age may take 2 treatments. I buy some really nice clothes at garage sales and thrift stores then treat the spots with Fels Naptha. It helps me have a fabulous wardrobe I wouldn't buy otherwise. This soap even works on silk. I find breaking the bar in half helps make it easier to use. I hope they make this soap forever!

As other reviewers have said, this is a great spot treatment. However, they're working too hard! I just put a bar in a pitcher with hot tap water and let it dissolve as much as it will, to create a saturated solution. I use an old toothbrush and this solution for spot treating, and I pour 1-4oz of this liquid soap into the washing machine as a great detergent substitute! (I also add 1 T. of washing soda + Borax combined)
It's cheap, easy, and effective.

My Grandmother used to soap us up with the lather from Fels Naptha when we caught poison ivy when I was a child. As an adult I suffered through all the more modern treatments in the drug store and even Bert's Bees Poison Ivy Soap, but nothing really worked on the nasty strain I have in my area. I caught PI again this year and decided to go back to the old fashioned remedy. It was wonderful. It dried the rash up very fast and stopped the infernal itching. I just made a lather in the shower and let it sit on my skin for a few minutes 2x per day.
I also used it on the clothes that were exposed to the Poison Ivy plant. The oils from the plant will stay with the clothing unless they are washed with a strong grease cutter. This soap does the job well.
WATCH THE PRICE: I bought my soap on Amazon for $4.99 per bar, and then found it in my local hardware store (in the cleaning supply isle) for $1.29 per bar.

We've always had a bar of Fels-Naptha soap in the laundry room sink, for scrubbing our hands after one of those tough outside or garage jobs that involves lots of dirt and/or oil. It's the only soap that can really clean our hands.
However, cat owners might also consider a bar of Fels-Naptha soap for the following tasks:
--For those cats who like to chew on electrical cords (especially the thin wires on Christmas trees), try rubbing the wires with a bar of Fels-Naptha Soap. Since I started this practice, our Christmas tree lights have stayed lit all season, instead of suddenly going dark a day or two after the tree is decorated.
--Rubbing a wet Fels-Naptha bar around the top of your plastic garbage bag where it sticks out from the garbage can, also keeps plastic-chewing cats from making holes in your garbage bag, and keeps the plastic from clogging up their digestive tracts.
--If you don't mind your stuffed furniture smelling like Fels-Naptha, it will also keep cats from clawing that expensive upholstery. Fels-Naptha is also much cheaper than the sprays that are sold to do the same job, and frankly I think the soap smells better than the sprays.

I never knew that this bar of soap could do so much! And, as much as I love Amazon, I found it much cheaper at Walmart - 99 cents!

there are two products I use to treat stains on laundry: soilove (for perspiration stains) and fels naptha (for everything else). this big bar of yellow soap will get out pretty much any stain. I have used it on blood that it well set (dried on about a week prior to treating), and after applying this and letting it sit for 10 minutes before throwing it in the washer, it came out completely. it's gotten out food stains, dirt/mud stains, etc. again w/ just treating and letting sit for 5 or 10 minutes before putting in the washer. amazing stuff. I used to make my own laundry detergent w/ this stuff as well, and it worked at least as well as commercial detergents. my only complaint is the scent, which is why I only gave it 4 stars; in my home made detergent the scent of this would linger, and I hated it (kind of smelled like funky salsa once the clothes were out of the dryer), but w/ pretreating I haven't noticed that.
