I’ve been making this exact recipe for over 10 years. Now my adult children ask to make this for their homes. In fact, we just had a soap party last night🥳

I also use white vinegar for my rinse cycle. No more fabric softener! Better for your clothes. It does not leave a vinegar smell.

You need to have a bar soap to add. If its to difficult to find the Felds Naptha bars, as I did, you can use *regular Ivory bars, Linda bars by Aurora, Sunlight detergent bars, plus you'll find lots of options online. You can find a beautiful jar at a second hand store. I found a 1/2 gallon antique green glass pickle jar at a yard sale for $5, and I love it! It looks great, and keeps the laundry detergent dry or from clumping. I made a double batch of this during Covid..and am still using it!

I've made this for years. I love it.

Absolutely love this option! I have sensitive skin and using this has made my life easier. Most beautiful scent I have ever smelled and it lasts soooo long. Have been struggling with these in store brands because nothing keeps the smell. I also noticed stains that were on my sons clothes from months/ week prior came out within one wash! I've had it for about a month and still a big jar full.

Gonna try this. Thanks for sharing.

I made it with Unstopables. Love the smell. Everything gets clean. Making another batch now. Thanks.

I have used this same recipe for years. It’s great!!!

Made the detergent love it

Thank you so much, I just found your channel!! God bless 🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

0.029 oz soap/load. Weight of paper clip: 0.050 oz. Like washing with plain water.

Great instructions and great recipe. Question though, do have soft water or hard water?

Thank you so mych much for this!! Miss your videos!

Thank you so much!🎉❤

Can’t find the jar! eeeek! Did you buy a food processor just for making soap? It seems like it’d be hard to clean the soapy smell out for making your regular food. And I heard it’s bad for front loaders with hard water, anyone have any problems?

I use Zote flake

I'm so making this!!

Meijer Prices Soap 5.67 Oxy Clean 15.99 Borax 6.29 Baking Soda Super Washing Soda 5.69

I make something similar. Use Zote flakes, washing soda, and borax...cleans well...

I have made this for many years. For the two of us it actually lasts over two years.

Can I make this without borax?

I made this recipe a couple years ago and it was too harsh. I couldn't wear undies that were washed in it, burned me up!

Are you using a He washer

The Fels Naptha laundry bars are so expensive. At least they are expensive on Amazon.

I made this a it is great

Looks like a great idea!

Won't the soap clog the pipes?

Hi sheri! I love this and am going to try it! Should be better for the environment too!

Would like to know if you use the bead type freshener if you have to wash clothes in warm water or if you can wash in cold water.

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏽👏🏼

just went from a healthy alternative to adding the beads....have you read the ingredients?

Did you used 1 ot 3 bars of fels-naptha

I absolutely love anything that is DIY and recyclable as well as a way to save on money and time. 😍😃😍😃 But this DIY home laundry dry detergent is not one of them. I tried this for 6 months with two different types of laundry bar soaps.🤔😯 My daughter was quite allergic to the bars of laundry soaps. 😢 Also this dry laundry recipe did not fully dissolve in my washing machine leaving clumps of it on my clothing. And made my clothing feel and smell badly. 😠😯 Also my machine kept on breaking down did not know why it was doing that during the time I was using this type of laundry detergent. I soon found out that because it was not fully dissolving it was clogging everything even though I was using some white vinegar as a fabric softener . I soon found out that these dry ingredients are used to strip your laundry and should not be used to wash your laundry each and every day. They strip the color from your clothing after will.😮 It causes the elastic bands in your clothing to degrade after a will.😫 It causes the band around your machines barrel to degrad which causes your washing machine not to spin out the water . Also too much vinegar placed in your washing machine can cause damage as well. All of these ingredients are not good for your washing machine. It is cheaper and easier to buy a name brand laundry detergent.😍 1 tablespoon for small loads and 2 tablespoon for bigger loads of laundry only. You can still use white vinegar with some pure essential oil as your fabric softener but only two tablespoons to 4 tablespoons only. Not a cup of white vinegar pur load. White vinegar strips the detergent out of your clothing but it also strips your machine and by stripping too much of your machine can cause damage. Also never use store-bought fabric softener or fabric beads or fabric softener sheets they have a lot of harmful chemicals which builds up in your machine as well as on your clothing and is the many times it is the cause of your washing machine and dryer breaking.😮😢 Look up stripping your clothing from build up detergent and you will see the same ingredients that is shown in this DIY laundry detergent is the same ingredient. That makes no sense that the same ingredients is for stripping your laundry detergent from your clothing as well as use it as regular laundry detergent.

No need for the baking soda, oxy clean pure crystals. All you need is a laundry soap bar washing soda and borax as a water softener. Rinse cycle white distilled vinegar

Do you think that this recipe would work just as well without the Fels Naptha bars? With everything else that is in this recipe I’m just wondering how much this ingredient actually contributes to the results

Is this non toxic?

👍💖🎀

So i just mixed all this together, i forgot to buy the oxiclean . And i make the fels bar too fine in the processor..now my question is ..dont see bubbles or suds in my wash ...am i suppose to.? Or should i

I have a top load that does not use much water. I am suprised the clothes get clean, but they do. Afraid this detergent wont dissolve enough, anyone have that problem ?? Maybe a homemade liquid?

Why would you use all those toxic ingredients to make it might as well buy it . Use washing soda (you can make it by putting baking soda in the oven for 400 degrees for about a hour or until it’s grainy and not glossy) and grated Kurt’s coconut bar soap and put essential oils for fragrance for a non toxic cheap detergent

For $35 I can buy in the grocery store 2 BIG boxes of Gain that will last for a year and I don't have to do anything. This is not exactly savings here!
