Please know you can add more baking soda or laundry booster if you like. Whatever works best for your family. Most of the items can be found at a local hardware store, Amazon or grocery store. #homemadesoap #homesteadingforbeginners

As a soap business owner, bubbles don’t clean its just pretty to look at. Your recipe will clean I make it and use it. A lot of people think the more bubbles the better clean you get. It’s not true. This is a great recipe that is why its good for HE washers because of the low suds but yet it cleans.

@grilawrfr101 Год назад

Would that also apply to car detailing n washing? Most detailers swear that it's the suds that you need to clean the cars surface

@moneypenni1694 Год назад

FYI. You can make your own washing soda. Spread baking soda on a shallow sided cooking sheet. Place in a 200° oven, stirring occasionally. When it turns gray, it will have converted to washing soda

@lenwoodturneriv6169 Год назад

…to be honest, reading what you put blew my mind. I always thought suds=clean. This is good to know…AND, i’ll be trying this laundry soap out too!

@azariyahlovecreations77 Год назад

I agree bubbles don't clean. I been telling people for years. I make my own cleaning products and dish soap.

@sandydennis7948 9 месяцев назад

We make our laundry soap. Our towels were getting grungier and not absorbing water. Then, I saw a video on why. It takes dish soap to hit the grease buildup. So, I tried adding an 1/8th cup , a couple big squirts on top of my mix and it worked.

I do a homemade liquid detergent that uses washing soda, baking soda, castile soap and essential oils (do not have to use) plus water. Makes 2 gals. No grating needed. I agree with you. So much cheaper plus better for us & environment.

@naturallydope247 Год назад

Kathleen how do you make your liquid version?

@sandi0821 Год назад

Question Kathleen…. I’ve never made any kind of cleaning item homemade, my main reason for looking into. This is my son’s extreme, eczema, and no matter what we use, even though if it says, all free, or clear, seems to still give some sort of discomfort to my son. So I was willing to try this the other thing I’m asking is how well does this dilute? My scrubs for work are black and I’ve been noticing that no matter what brand I buy all It all hammer, game, tied, you name it I always get like a liquid white residue, and I even use an extra rinse cycle so I’m just afraid if this doesn’t dilute all the way and break down and it’s gonna leave a residue? I’d appreciate any response. Thank you.

@kathleenritter4532 Год назад

Zote is usually at Walmart. Fels Naptha is sometimes at our other local grocery stores, was constantly in stock before 2020. Zote smells like citronella oil in the pink bar, Fels Naptha used to be used as a bug repellant by the Amish too from what I have read.

I love this recipe, and am making again for the 4th time today. My very 1st batch didn't turn out right, it was still very watery and grainy, I used it anyway because it still worked but left a little residue from the soda I think. The 2nd batch I made, I accidentally boiled over the igredients but was able to stir it down. The boiling is the magic that turns it into a gel like laundry soap, it's perfect. Just thought I would add a tip.

I thought you end up with a concentrate (GElled form) and you pour in half the gel halfway up in the gallon jug, and then thrn gfill the rest with water and cap it and shake it to mix....1/2 cup per load. SHake jug before using. So many versions of this. I found that it was gentler on my clothes, but that it does a great job removing stains (If you have a bad stain, you can brush some of the gel into the stain and let it stand for a few minutes.

@Scootertrash043 Год назад

very good video!! I too have been doing the same thing with zote soap and borax for years. I prefer to add the borax into the bucket instead the stock pot. And also being very old fashion as I am, have an old baby high chair next to washer for the 5 gallon bucket to sit on. Fill the bucket just over half way adding water. Next day or so, mix up with my hand and add little more water. Works out great, keep a plastic cup in the bucket for scooping. A whole bucket for me cost about $3.00

So much easier to use and store withou liquid. I air dry the bar soap (zote/fels naptha) then cut into chunks and place in food processor with baking soda and whiz until it's a fine powder. The powder combination dissolves easily in the wash. I made 5 gallons 5 years ago and still have not run out. Love, love, love it.

@jeffwolf8018 2 месяца назад

I prefer going dry until the time I use it. That way your detergent isn't sitting there for 6 months getting stale.. I generally will use 4 lb borax 4 lb super washing soda 4 lb baking soda 3 1/2 to 4 lb OxiClean and about a pound of Downy calm lavender vanilla bean scent boosters. The only thing that is not the best thing for us out of that is the scent booster.. but I mix up nearly a 5-gallon bucket that weighs close to 60 lb as I do a double load each time I make my laundry detergent. Just a thought to make things a little bit easier. I also use the extra fine grading option on my grading block. And that's so that the soap melts better and warm water.

@goldengirls0125 Год назад

Be careful as the borax has D rating with Ewg. I bought Molly suds with peppermint as it has an A rating and is super concentrated . I find most people use more than twice as much detergent as needed. Was using Dr Bronners castile soap but noticed it was leaving a layer of scum on my skin and laundry since my water is a bit hard. Im so happy will Molly’s suds.

@dataobsessedfatguy 8 месяцев назад

Would making a concentrated version of this work? Like would we still be able to mix/breakup the solution after losing it sit overnight or is the dilution absolutely necessary? I'm guessing that by skipping the step of diluting the detergent with close to ~4.25 gallons or more of water will result in a super concentrated solution. The loads for that should only require ~1.5-2 tbsps each. The washer itself should be able to supply more than enough water, but this should let you store the detergent in less space and with a smaller scoop if it can work.

@farelljohnson8264 8 месяцев назад
