Step-by-Step Guide to Homemade Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent
In this video I'm showing you a step-by-step guide for making your own homemade non-toxic laundry detergent. This DIY laundry soap WORKS, guys. I was quite literally shocked the first batch I ever made, and we clean some VERY messy things in this house - toddler clothes, cleaning rags, etc. With the cost of living increasing by the minute (or so it seems!) this is a household swap that will truly make a difference in your budget. If you try this homemade liquid laundry soap please let me know in the comments below!
Here's the price breakdown:
1 1/2 bar castile soap = $3.70
1 cup washing soda = $0.30
1 cup borax = $0.60
This works out to about $0.92 per gallon!

Hi Julia, this is a nice video but my understanding is you must not get castrol oil into your eyes as it can damage them, it's meant to be painted along the lash line. Also it and serums can cause blocked glands and styes if it gets into the glands. The opens are under the lashes, but not sure if it can do that through the skin also. Just don't want anyone else to suffer this.
I recommend cleansing afterwards with avene tolerance cleanser instead of rubbing your skin it’s so gentele and hydrating but you still feel the colds cream in your skin it’s perfect
I'm trying to start styling my hair like yours. Mine is much longer but I just love your shorter style.
Do you have blurry vision afterwards?
I tried it and it looks so good!
I recently found your videos and love the content and listening to your sweet voice.
Im so glad i found your recipes for Canadians on a budget!! def going to try ! thank you Julia!
Very pretty lady.
The cheapest (consistent price; not on sale) protein I’ve found so far is in the Walmart freezer section they have ground chicken or Turkey tubes, 1lb for $2.99. I make this same dish with one of those tubes or similar dish with several bricks of cheap ramen (I add my own condiments to make a sauce and save the seasoning packs for when I’m making a chicken in the slow cooker) I’m in Ontario as well :)
Thank you so much for sharing!
looking for low cost meals and all I find are vids in America ( that's no problem thanks neighbors ) this has really helped me make low cost meals living on minimum wage.
Thanks for commenting and so glad it was helpful. I'll have more videos like this coming soon. :)
I know you're not adding essential oils at the moment, but I kind of miss the smell of something. What oils do you suggest and how much would you add to the 5 gallons? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I love lavender and lemon together (kind of smells like fruit loops to me haha) - 30-50 drops total evenly split between the two. I've done just lemon oil before at 40-50 drops per batch. This totally depends on how strong you prefer the scent, so you could split your batch and do a less drops in one and more in the other to see which you prefer. I like stronger scents so I opt for closer to 50 drops per batch. I have a family member who makes this and simply drops an entire 30 ml bottle of thieves oil blend into hers and she loves that. I hope that's helpful!
That you so incredibly much! Happy mom over here saving so much money. It works so well.
From Nova Scotia. Prices are insane here. I’ve made this without rice before and just used it as a side dish and I’ve liked it but I’ll have to try it with rice ! I like adding Thai chilli sauce !
Thanks for commenting and for the tip! I have a jar of thai chili sauce in the fridge so definitely trying that next time.
Ive been bingeing budget meals, but they are all U.S. so not always applicable. So nice to find a fellow Canadian. The American bloggers lean very Mexican, which is fine but I prefer Asian cuisine so it was great to see the stir fry. New sub!
Thanks so much for commenting! Yes I feel the same way - love watching the budget meals but hard to find relatable Canadian content. I’m super glad you enjoyed my video and welcome to the channel! 😊
literally came here to say this! i also prefer Asian inspired cuisine!
I have dry skin. And I use ponds it works great for dry skin too. And works better than a lot of expensive creams I’ve used
Why not use a liquid Castile soap instead?
you can!
Did the castor oil work for your lash and brows?
You are very very good at explaining and I love this. You can never go wrong with ponds. Thanks so much for this helpful video. ❤
Does the soap that was grated ever settle? I make a homemade one using a liquid Castile soap and it settles and then clumps up....but it also could be I am not using boiling water to mix with it....
I haven't noticed the grated castile soap clumping or settling - but I do think it's because I dissolve it fully in the boiling water. I also think it has to do with the brand of castile soap. The more simple the ingredients the better - at least in this recipe I find. Hope that helps!
@@JuliaRaeConnor Wrong.
Is your pea-sized amount basically one pump?
Depends on the day the pump doesn’t always give the same amount which I find strange. So I always aim for a pea sized amount. Some days one pump will dispense too much, other days too little.
@@JuliaRaeConnor Ah okay, thanks for the reply! I just started the microgel too so trying to gauge how much is too much or too little... peas come in different sizes too lol.....
As soon as I feel a pimple threatening to break the skin, I start applying a dot of the Queen Helene Mint Julip Mask on the spot and leaving it there while I sleep over night. It dries the area up very well, and usually prevents the pimple from ever breaking the skin. Occasionally I’ll have to do it for more than one night. Love it!
Thank you! Just what I needed!
How do you keep the mix from separating?
It has never separated and we store it at room temperature under the kitchen sink in the cabinet. Hope that helps!
So its okay to sandwich with this particular version of retin a? I heard from a few ppl you cant use moisturizer before when using the micro version but i guess they were misinformed because your dermatologist said its cool right
the dermatologist who provided me with this prescription specifically said it could be layered over moisturizer, and that it is a good way to ease your skin in to retin a. Hope that helps!
Hey again. Ive stopped using this product because I was worried about the possibility of developing dry eye disease. I really wanted to continue using it but was so worried because every time I applied it my eyes would sting so bad. 😢
great alternative to store-bought stuff thumbs up
wow, never knew homemade detergent could be so simple
this seems easy to do gonna give it a shot
I am 41, and many people tell me I look 31. During the Canadian winter, I like removing my makeup with tht Magic Removal Towel with only warm water. When most makeup is removed with just warm water, I then use my cold cream. Follow by light gua sha, then rinsing off with warm water, and final splash with very cold water. Witch hazel mist, serum, moisturizer, then thin layer of face oil as occlusive.
That sounds lovely!
Julia can I use Dr. Bronner's bar soap? That's easy for me to get where I live.
I've never tried with that brand but I'm sure it would be fine. You could always make up a small batch to test to see if you like how it washes and rinses. I know some people use fels naptha but the ewg rating just isn't as good so I've always opted for some kind of castile oap instead. Thanks for watching! Let me know how your homemade laundry soap goes. :)
@@JuliaRaeConnor Google EWG is not science. It’s a lobbyist for natural product companies.
It’s made by Jews.
@@JuliaRaeConnor Clueless. EWG is a lobbyist for natural products companies. You’ve been duped.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt name-calling makes you look ugly. Just share the info without the ego flex.
I had to watch with no sound. I can’t stand hearing uptalk. I educate and parent coach those raising children with certain mental disorders and uptalk is very common for manipulation and triangulation. I realize it’s a speech trend but because of those I work with, I can’t hear uptalk and not want to analyze. 😊
I guess you also couldn’t help yourself and just had to leave a rude comment huh. I hope leaving that comment gave you what you needed Tina. Sending good vibes your way.
@@JuliaRaeConnor take it as you will. I’m just saying uptalk sounds like someone who is confused and unsure of what their saying. This is fact and even taught in basic psychology and sociology.
In that case, here's an obviously much needed reminder for ya. ;) Despite watching a few minutes of my video content, you don't know me and as an adult (I'm assuming?) should have the awareness and social tact to be able to refrain from typing out a rude comment. Also a reminder that as the creator of this channel, I have the right to set the tone here. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but rudeness is not!@@TinaGolik
Hi there,I watched your CZcams video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzing Your CZcams channel and I found CZcams video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going virial and views are not increasing. Thank you
What is seo?
From Florida. Love your recipe. I use coleslaw mix, too. Can't wait to make your recipe. Your prices are very close to my prices.
Thanks so much for commenting!
Wow🎉, I can’t believe I found a fellow Canadian, thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed!
thanks for sharing this with us
I learned many Oasta recipes.... hah hah lol
love the video thank you! My goals is 100-130gs a day and it took me a while to figure out what meats/dairy products would get me there the fastest without wasting all my calories. I love salmon, shrimp, eggwhites, thin cut beef, and turkey. I also recommend to make sure you get your daily intake of fiber (because of all the meats). Take pictures or use some kind of measuring tape/tight outfit you want to fit into to track your progress. A lot of woman increase their protein and start lifting, but give up because the scale does not move... even tho they have clearly lost weight in their face and around the waist. Its very important to keep going even if the scale does not move for a while. Good Luck on your journey, keep going <3
Can I ask how many calories you eat per day? I’ve been working with a registered dietitian for the last two months and she also has me eating 100 g of protein a day trying to lose weight and build muscle. I have made huge increases in my protein compared to before, but I have not lost anything. I also do 2 miles a day on the treadmill and the elliptical five days a week plus I lift weights but still no changes. I think I may just need to drop my calories down lower.
Thanks for your comment! I was in the same boat as you the firs three months that I was working with my trainer. My daily calories were around 1800-1900 (that's with 100g protein/day) - while I wasn't losing weight according to the scale, I lost 4 inches off my waist and my body composition definitely changed. Now that my body is in a groove, we worked on maintaining my daily protein at 100g per day but cutting calories so I can lean out. I'm normally between 1300-1500 depending on the meals I choose. I'm 5'4" if that helps. I have more videos coming soon on my workout split, but essentially I'm aiming for 10,000 steps per day and mainly focusing on dumbbell workouts. :)
@@JuliaRaeConnor thank you!
thanks for the info @@JuliaRaeConnor
yummy 😋
Thanks!
Ugh wish I would’ve seen this method before I attempted my side bang. Ended up cutting too short cause it looked so poorly so I had to cut shorter. It looks ok now but definitely way shorter bangs that I wanted. Live and learn I guess 😂
oh no! the thing I've learned about bangs is they grow out rather quickly so it's easy to fix things up a few weeks after the initial cut if you need to. Good luck!
You have the most beautiful hair color. Do you color it at home and if so what do you use?
Thank you! It’s my natural colour ❤️
It makes my skin itch so i only use around eyes. The fragrance is too strong, i think. Also they changed the formula again
These look great! Gotta try these just with some oat milk as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy. Thank you for sharing
Let me know how you like them! Thanks for watching 😊
