Pour the water and grated soap into a microwaveable container and cook on high for 3 min.
Remove and stir until all soap bits have melted (put in a bit longer, if needed).
Let it cool, then pour into pumps (leftover from store bought liquid soap), and the remainder in any container with a lid.

When you use the tabs, add them in with the load and not in the separate area for detergent if your machine has one. They won't dissolve properly without enough water.
Mix all ingredients together, and pour into a spray bottle.
Spray directly onto stains, ensuring complete coverage of the stains, and let the pre-treater absorb into the fabric.
You can throw the clothes directly into the wash after applying the pre-treater (wait 5 minutes before putting clothes in the wash to ensure absorption), or you can leave them until the next time you do laundry. It works well either way.
Shred the bars of soap and set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, warm the soy milk and gradually add the shredded soap until mixture is a sticky mass.
