Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent Recipe 

Lucia Gave did you use it like this, or just the whole bar? I never even heard of this soap before this video. I made this detergent and I love it!!

megan ochs Hello Megan! Actually, we use the whole bar, but this is when you wash your clothes by hand, but if you want to use it for your washer machine, it's better if you granulate it, just like in the video! I'm glad to hear that liked it! 😀

Lucia Gave yip! It's really good stuff!

Lucia Gave my wife is from Guatemala and she alsways uses it on her clothes. The only bad thing about the way the woman describes it is it's way watery. I wish there was a way to thicken it up like regular laundry soap.

Same here 🤗

It’s me Teresa 😂

Me too!!!! I bought my kids a tallador when they were young and they would wash their dirty socks by hand as I used to as a child.

Have you used Zote in a washing machine?

Good one am through to do mine tnx

With the borax in it?

majic0ajay 💀💀💀😂😂😂 i seen that and had to scroll down to the comment section

Then at 4:30, he does not come anywhere near her!

majic0ajay 😂😂😂😂 I’m dying!!

majic0ajay hahahahaha!!!!

It’s so dilute it’s like washing with plain water. She’s totally clueless.

This is a great idea! 👍🏾

For faster prep time use a 5 gallon paint stirrer that goes with a drill gun. Someone here said grind up soap in a food processor.

Always wonder if you could use it as body soap.

@@Jackie90555 No. Too harsh. Go search for "Liquid body soap" vids here on You Tube.

you used Zote for body soap? It didn't dry out your skin??

Use white vinagar for fabric softener takes smell out of dog beds etc

How long you microwave it for

Same question

Actually when you melt soap it's dangerous because you're releasing fumes into the air which can be deadly if inhaled. Only use melt and pour soap in the microwave because it's been specifically designed for it.

@@fdr019 that was my thought exactly isn't this why pioneers cooked theirs outside ? Lye is dangerous people

@Field Of Carnations really?I honestly thought it was some bad stuff to be around when you heat it up. Learn something new everyday 😊😊🙃

Does one bar of Zote make ten gallons of detergent? She made the five gallon bucket and then cut it by half with water in the jugs. Is that what you do, too? Also, how much do you use per load in your washer? Just thought I'd ask you since you're having good luck with it! Thanks!

brightpurpleviking I was wondering the same thing about how much she uses per load.

Yes, one bar makes 10 gallons. I have an extra large capacity washer, so I use 2 cups for a full load. : )

Oily's Humble Home 1/2 cup per regular full load.

Thank you! :)

NorthTexas Tees i got vo5 .78 cents today to make my first fab softner. What fragrances do you use and how do you add them to the detergent?

@@itsjustrenee1320 my friend gave me her recipe and use the coconut scented conditioner plus the ocean breeze one. It smells really good!

Dawg. The smell of commercial laundry soap absolutely makes me gag. I feel you on that.

It’s so dilute that it’s like washing with plain water.

💕😆

***** for some reason, Walmart put zote in a different place on the shelves than Fels Naptha

Five years later, the Zote soap bar costs $0.99 lol

How much of the diluated detergent do you use per laundry load? I didn't hear her say. thanks

Jasmin Hernandez Any updates?

Yes any updates would love to know

You have several interested parties curious to hear your opinion on the outcome of this DIY laundry detergent. Also how much did you use, and type of washer machine (top loader/front loader/H e)? Hope you respond.😁

Hello everyone, I have been using this same soap since the first time I made it. I don’t think I’ll ever want to use store bought detergents. I love the fact that I have only spent a couple dollars on detergent in the past 3 months. Although I did choose to not dilute the soap as much as the first time I made it. The first time, I used the original recipe she demonstrated except I only added one cup of borax. The second time I made it I mixed 1 bar of zote soap to 8 gallons of water + 2 cups of borax. I can tell a difference in cleaning power although I still think I need to tweak the recipe a little more. My he washer is huge and I feel like 3 cups of the original recipe was not getting my husbands work clothes clean and even some of my kids really dirty clothes so that’s why I chose to dilute it less. Three cups of the original recipe works good if I wash like a small to medium load. I’m still going to work on changing the recipe until I make it to where it works for us. Has anybody had this issue?

Yes, I get my note from Walmart too🙌

Amanda Griffin Amazon got me for 4 bars for 11bucks never again cause I go to big lots..

It's an affiliate link so shes not going to tell you to buy it at walmart lol

Big lots also carries them for $1

This is a primitive recipe. Get over it!

And this way my personal opinion. You get over it.

Greg Farley how much do you use per load

@@vin68461 about 1/3 of a cup.

How can you add in other scents to the detergent?

@@jailewis7356 Essential oils is what I've heard other people using. Me personally, I don't add anything. Dryer sheets work fine for me.

Borax is only 10% as soluble as washing soda. It’s also a less effective alkaline water softener. And it’s 47% water. She uses it because she really doesn’t understand what she’s doing.

And I really like it.

It smells like a citronella candle,that is the only thing stopping me from making it

Kathy Hosking believe it or not, the citronella smell does not get into your clothes. If you know someone who makes detergent using the zote ask them for an amount enough to do a load and try it out.

Pammie Doodle i think it was originally made to be a stain remover. It used to have naptha in it but the govt made them remove it a long time ago but it still works well. I don't know what they replaced the naptha with.

You can add Downey scentables but then you are adding chemicals. How about some essential oil.

"Do you have to get that close?!" Becky got heated lol

Yeah that was my favorite part!!

Lol

Well she's Becky so it's cool. 😉😎
