I do something similiar. I use 3 box of borax, 3 of the arm & hammer super wash, 13.5lbs of baking soda, & 3 bars of grated kirks castile soap, along with a couple drops of essential oil. This normally lasts us 6mos to a yr using 1/4 cup for normal loads & 1/2 cup for extra large loads or work clothes for an added boost. I also use 1/4 cup white vinegar for fabric softner in the wash & wool dryer balls w essential oils in place of dryer sheets. Also, for any really stubborn stains such as oils, fuel, etc a prewash w murphys oil soap will take it right out!. Definitely do a prewash as if you add it in to the normal laundry load the smell of the murphys stays until you wash again.
It's nice to hear someone speaking in language that I understand, I know what jet fuel and grease do to clothing. I've bought all the stuff and getting ready to start mixing it.
I hope you guys enjoy it! I love it, and I've never had issues with it. I just really hated how we used to spend maybe $30 every single month for laundry supplies. This is just so much easier!
She could change it to liquid if she ever had any problems your really under everyone's post talk crap a real troll hun you can take a heaping full cup and add it to a gallon of water and have a gallon of liquid laundry if you did it that way it would surely last for years instead of months ❤🎉
@@Paryswilliams1978 Soap requires hot water, vigorous agitation and thorough rinsing. That’s why soap-based laundry detergents are unsuitable for modern washers, especially HE machines.
@@Paryswilliams1978 Lol. Are you possibly still in grade school? You apparently don’t understand that when you dilute a detergent it becomes less effective as a cleaning agent.
Thanks so much. i have been looking at different recipies. And i am going with yours. I havent made my own laundry soap in years, but I think I will like this one!
@@JuliaM987 It’s watered down with filler (baking soda) and two water softeners. You’re also contaminating a well formulated detergent with bar soap, which became obsolete over 70 years ago. Then you’re using a minuscule amount, such that it’s like washing with plain water. And you’re proud of this? Yikes!
You can always add or take away from this recipe. You don't necessarily have to add anything to it, unless you want to double up on one particular item, or sub something else in.
@@JuliaM987 Soaps require hot water, vigorous agitation and thorough rinsing. That’s basic chemistry and not how modern HE machines are designed to operate.
@@F_U23 Sorry. But that’s not enough. What about vigorous agitation, the old fashioned way? As with a washboard? Your solution to that deficiency is…what??!

Sooo true!! Thank you! Those are soaps not detergent, which is what modern washing machines were made for!
It's nice to hear someone speaking in language that I understand, I know what jet fuel and grease do to clothing. I've bought all the stuff and getting ready to start mixing it.
I hope it works just as good for you! I've noticed that the true big helper is having an agitator.
I use this recipe all the time in my front loader, I just add it to the barrel. I also add Lavender smell good beads.
Ok so after my laundry detergent empties - I am recreating this!! I told Stephen about this and he’s like that’s such a good deal!

I do about same recipe i run it through food processor. I use only for my laundry soap😊
Skip to 5:30 for the recipe.
There should be timestamps already on the video. For me, there is.
Thanks
No modern washer is designed to use soap.

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt hush
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt why knock what is being done here with your thoughts you could have just went on about your day
Thanks 😊
I find the zote doesn’t break down or rinse off
I use Kirk's, it's pretty cheap $4.97 for the 4 bar packs, in TN. Any castile soap will do though.
Thanks so much. i have been looking at different recipies. And i am going with yours. I havent made my own laundry soap in years, but I think I will like this one!
I hope it works out for you! I haven't had any issues with it in 3 years, but some people apparently have issues.

It's he safe if it doesn't foam up a lot.
Can i use this recipe withoit the bar of soaps ? And if so should I use more powder per load or keep the same ?

Thank you
I did my 10th load today so far it really clean .
I'm glad it's working out for you!
I found Zote laundry flakes at our Walmart, I didn't buy them, but would they work just as well?
I have never seen them, but if they are laundry soap, I would assume so.
I have seen other people use them instead of shredding the soap.
You would need strong product for those smelly panties of yours….
Is it for he washing machines
Depending on what all you use, you can either look on the package or look up on Google if each item is or not.

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt You can program hot water wash and add an extra rinse.

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt My washing machine has an agitator, so what is your point, exactly???
