Here's the recipe:

Grate 50 grams of 72% unscented laundry soap and 50 grams of white anti-stain laundry soap. Do this on a fine grater to get soap shavings.

Pour 5 liters of water into a saucepan and add the soap shavings. Put the pot on the fire and stir until the soap shavings are completely dissolved. It is important that the solution does not boil, just heat it up to melt the soap.

After the soap shavings have dissolved, turn off the heat and add 100 grams of soda ash. Stir the solution until the soda is completely dissolved.

Pour the finished gel into convenient bottles or containers for later use. As the gel cools, it will thicken without separating into soap and water and retain its texture. Thanks to the use of white stain removal soap, the gel will have a pleasant color and aroma.
