From D.
Unfortunately it isn't so cheap in UK
A 5oz bar of Fels naptha costs £8.99, a 500g box of Borax substitute
(ordinary borax is no longer available in the EU) is £2.30, and a 350g box
of washing soda is £4.99. So at about £16.30 total at the current exchange
rate that would come out at $20.45. You'd get a lot of cups of borax and
soda out of those boxes but the cost of the naptha is the killer. I'd guess
you could use ordinary soap to bring that price down dramatically but the
cleaning power probably wouldn't be as good, even then commercial detergent
might be almost as cheap.
