Rather than spending $10 for “clean” laundry soap that’s probably greenwashed - make your own in a 5 gallon bucket for pennies! I use this non-toxic laundry soap for everything for our family of 6 - cloth diapers, dirty farm clothes, my husband’s work clothes - it works great and is so easy to make.

I'm Steph, wife of John & mom of 4 living on a 5th generation homestead. My husband's great-grandparents bought this farm in rural Missouri in 1942. My husband was supposed to take the farm over after high school - but he decided to go a different direction and moved out on his own. At that time he said he'd never get married or have kids. But here we are - 4 kids later and back on the farm. I grew up in town - so farm life has been a new adventure for me and I absolutely love it. I'm learning as I go and opting out of as many broken systems as I can along the way. We've lived here almost five years now, we homeschool our kids here, raise and grow more of our own food all the time, and our last baby was even born here on the farm - my first home birth. Learn with me as I share glimpses into our life on the farm.

I love seeing young people learn to make things instead of depending on stores; especially nowadays. As a child we made lye soap and it was used for everything from laundry, dishes and baths. When I started making my own laundry detergent, I used the standard recipe; fels naphtha, washing soda and borax. Then I learned borax was degrading my elastic and started keeping that out and only adding it to heavy soiled loads. Then I went to Ivory soap instead of fels naphtha. Then I started using my homemade soap scraps instead of buying Ivory. Life is a live and learn process.

@@fireflysparks1105 Grate finely a bar of soap like Ivory or castile in a large pan. Add 12 cups water and let it cook on medium-low heat, stirring often until the soap dissolves. Add 1 cup washing soda and stir until it dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and add 26 cups more water. Stir. At this point I pour It into a big bucket with a lid. I Stir it ever hour or so until it cools. It has a slippery feel to the hand and doesn't suds much, but modern machines don't like suds anyway. Stir before dipping 1/2 cup per load.

@ari3lz3pp 8 месяцев назад

Be aware that lavender is an endochrine disruptor if used often or in moderately high doses. Soy is a common one that's more intense. But just to be wary. You can see if what you use has that issue, and if you are using phatalates and it helps too. Personally Borax was too toxic to keep in my home, I did use it for pest control for a while but now I use peppermint to ward off pests mostly. And Diatomaceous Earth. But for laundry vinegar can be all you need...even for really smelly stuff. Personally I do use essential oils like rose and chamomile, or orange for our laundry. Sometimes even peppermint and other oils that are used to ward off mosquitoes and such into clothing we wear hiking. 😊

@greaterthanme876 7 месяцев назад

@@ari3lz3ppThey did a retest on the lavender in glass as opposed to the plastic container they used in the test resulting in endocrine changes in the subjects. It was discovered that it was, in fact the microplastics causing the changes, not the lavender. Also, borax is not toxic. The reason it works as pest control is it is abrasive, like shards of glass to insects. A small amount will cut them and cause injuries, and it will stick to them, and proceed to leave a trail wherever they go, including their nests, thus eradicating the entire infestation without toxic chemicals. Borax is safe for children and pets.

The studies involved feeding Borax to rats and found that it was harmful. If you are washing laundry and letting the laundry dry before wearing it (and potentially washing your hands after you touch the wet laundry just to be safe) it doesn't seem that it is dangerous. There is no way to ingest the Borax for laundry purposes. Again, do your own research and be safe!

Thank you for using cloth diapers and breast feeding your baby. None of the young mothers I know do that anymore. For them, cloth diapers are to much trouble. However, it saves over $2,500.00-3,000.00 per child not to mention quickly filling the landfills. It takes over 50+ years for disposable diapers to break down (if ever). I also made my own detergent for several years because I lived in the country, besides the $12.00-$15.00 for a large bottle of detergent, you also have to add the cost of gas to go get it. One box of Borax and one box of washing soda isn't over $8.00 the bar soap is about $2.00. I believe it lasted me over four years. A five gallon bucket takes forever to use up. I wish more young people cared about the planet we leave to future generations. I'm sure you already know the advantages for children who are breast fed. You are doing everything right!

The key with lemon balm is not to touch the leaves. Same with mint, take it gently by the stalk with scissors mid way between leaves, the hormones in the plant will concentrate at each leaf stalk joint with main stem & throw new shoots. Very easy, but remember, DONT touch the leaf, the oils / terpenes are mainly surface mounted.

@MsSarahJosephine Год назад

Washing soda is Sodium carbonate and you can make it at home woth regular baking soda: get baking soda and spread it on a baking tray, stick it into a 200C/390F oven and leave it for around two hours and it becomes sodium carbonate. I know because we use sodium carbonate/soda ash a lot in ceramics, particularly in making casting slip (acts as a defloculant and flux - keeps it nice and smooth and suspended) incidentally you can buy a large sack for not too much from most ceramic shop sites. Not sure how how much difference there is between basic soda ash and commercial washing soda but if you need something quick its a potential fix.

I didn't add the lemon balm because I love the clean scent of the soap without any additions. I have been using vinegar as a clothe softener for years because of all the chemicals that are currently added to clothe softener products. Obviously, we will never be able to get all toxins out of our lives but everything you can do to make your life less toxic is a good thing. Love your attitude and God bless.

I do too. I use my recipe my 80/20 bar. 80% of olive oil and 20% of palm kernel oil flakes. The palm kernel flakes gives the soap more lather but mor important is they harden the bar quicker. Of course, making your own soap allows you to add the scent (essential oils).
