I will never use a cheese grater again. No more skinned knuckles. I started making our own soap and laundry soap a few years ago. Our family has sensitive skin and eczema. Almost every detergent and soap break us out. Every since I started our skin has healed and no more steroid creams. Sold our soaps at our first Farmers market on Saturday and I met 10 people with sensitive skin. I was so happy to help people like us. We sure know how it feels to suffer. Thanks for all the tips.

I love your videos and I learned so much from them. You are just so honest about the entire process. There's never any unnecessary information. Absolutely my favorite Soap Channel

Oh how i love this video. This is real laundry soap in my opinion while the commercial stuff you see on the store shelves including bath bars are basically detergent based and not really soap. i added this one to my favorites list.

I was so intrigued by your thumbnail, it looks like you are holding up a CD or a Laser Disk. I was super confused. I realize now it was the funnel. Lol Great video.

You can use a canning funnel; easy to find and cheap (or they were a month or two ago...)

I use 0% super fat cocnut oil soap that I make myself and make a paste for my laundry soap. My soaping journey started with laundry soap as well. Thanks for the videos. It's nice to watch relaxing video.

"I Got a Woman" playing in the background. Man after my own heart. Haha. I love ol' Ray. May he rest in peace. Your channel has helped me a lot. Thanks again, man.

i just love your no bullshit style, this explains it well too, i pt too much soap in my last lot.. lesson learned. thanks uncle jon

I knew I liked you for a reason 😉 Love that hoodie!

Thank you for sharing. I've made laundry soap before and it was a pain having to keep it a 5 gallon container. You have made it so much easier.

Thank you!!

I make it myself too. And I do prefer the powder formula over the liquid one. I do add zote or fels naphtha STAIN removing bars as well as my soap to our formula.

Thank you, hadn't thought of small batches still lasting a long time

Hey Uncle Jon, I have a suggestion to improve your Laundry Soap product: Adding about 4-5g of Sodium Citrate per dose of your Laundry Soap powder will improve how it works, particularly in areas with hard water and/or no water softening. Sodium Citrate is a chelant which is commonly used in soap making, particularly in the more commercial end of cleaning products as a chelating agent. (EDTA is often used instead of it because EDTA is more effective but it's also pretty bad for the environment whereas Sodium Citrate is much, much safer and more biodegradable.) In fact Sodium Citrate gets used in its food safe form for molecular gastronomy and commercial food applications (it's just a product of the reaction from combining Citric Acid and a Sodium base such as baking soda or Sodium Hydroxide.) By adding a chelating agent like Sodium Citrate to your laundry powder you will inhibit the formation of soap scum which allows the soap to do its work properly and it will reduce/prevent the buildup of soap scum in the fabric that you wash (this is also better for the long-term with your washing machine and plumbing too.) I think that this would be something to consider as a major value-add to your product at a _reasonable_ cost. You might also consider offering a fabric softener liquid that is safe for microfiber fabrics which is a combination of a strong Citric Acid solution and a similar amount of Sodium Citrate per dose as described above. For environmental reasons/to reduce the cost of shipping you might consider a line of products which are a highly concentrated solution which the customer can dilute at home as per instructions. You might need to get some Uncle Jon-branded fabric softener containers if you decided to go down this route ;) With all that said, I sure hope that you read the comments on your channel!

Great video! Thanks so much, I love your work.

Just starting out in soap making. Thanks for the tips on money saving ideas they will really help. And love the hoodie ;)

I bought your laundry soap and loved it!!! Can’t wait to get more!!

It's a CANNING FUNNEL, for use with wide mouthed Mason jars!

I love my own laundry soap. I use oxyclean in it as well. Clothes come out cleaner and don't smell. Better than Ecos! I swear!!

hey hey, looking into making soap for the first time and have been catching your videos, thanks.. also a friend of Bill W here

Get yourself a Salad Master. I have one from the 60s I got on eBay. Grate anything you want I flat order.

Thank you for the video

Nice shirt brother

Uncle jon you have been super kind enough to share your recipes honestly. Not many do that! I was so nervous about CP soap making but I found your videos so helpful. This world needs more people like you..honest and easy going! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Can I please know what's last ingredient you added from the blue bottle? Also if I have a full load washing machine (8 kg load washing machine) how much of this laundery soap would I use?

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to get a big steel grid that you can smack with a rubber mallet to dice a few of those bars at a time with a couple strikes. Would probably be safer than using even a clapped out dull kitchen knife all day, too.

Hi bro,thank you for your videos they real helpful,but iwould like to know what is the last ingredient you put,which was in the botle ineed to know the name of that ingredients so that ican find it too.welcome to Tanzania bro

Nice video. I always wondered how laundry soap was made and your video makes it look easy. Better and likely cheaper than commercial soaps. I make mostly salves and liniments right now and actually found your site when looking for product labels. You have a lot of good information. Thank you for sharing. BTW, I really like your hoodie. I have a similar tee shirt.

I'll keep that n mind half of pice of soap thanks sir.

Thank you soooo much for all your videos! Specially this one! I can’t wait to ty this! Ty again!

Thank you

You make it the same way I do! Except I put Downy scent beads in mine. I don't sell mine, yet. Lol.. Love the video's Jon!

engine oil funnels for large trucks are almost the same size as that metal one :P

One like is not enough for your video

I absolutely love your channel! You do an amazing job of building up your viewers and giving them confidence instead of scaring them into submission. Thank you! I do have some questions: How caustic is the washing soda? Should someone wear gloves and a mask and such when working with it? Is it possible to convert baking soda to washing soda just by baking it? Can you use scented soap instead of adding scents to the laundry soap batch?

oh my song is playing I love ray charles

What's your favorite scent you use in your laundry soap?? I make my own laundry soap, but I've been scenting it with purex crystals, mountain spring. I should use a FO next time for something different. This laundry soap works better then any commercial brand. I switched over a year ago when I started making cp soaps.

I would have loved it if you had shared the perportion.

Great video & thank you! How much to use for each load?

Thank you.

Yes 🙌 Ray Charles!

How much would you use to wash a load of clothes

What was that stuff you put in at the end, from the bottle? I don't think you mentioned it. Thanks for the video. I have made some laundry soap powder but used Zote and Fels Naptha, Borax, and washing soda, and i added some baking soda, but now I know I don't need the baking soda. Plus, some say OxyClean is a good additive, but it appears you don't need that either.

Do you have a recipe without the soap? I used Dreft baby laundry soap once for my babys cloths it turned then dingy. I never used it again.

I know this is an old video so hopefully you will see this, i want to start making my own laundry soap using these ingredients, how do i know if im using the right fragrance oils? And how do i know how much oil to use?

Can I ask what size bakery bags you use to put your laundry soap in? Thank you for all the info and great videos!!

Hey Jon great video, just had one question...in some of the other videos and recipes I've seen on the internet a lot of people said to use 1 TBS instead of 1/2 or 1 TSP. Is that because their recipes are different than yours or are we just using way more product than actually needed to get a good wash?

I just came across your videos and love them. I just want to learn and make all these products for my family. How long would that amount of laundry soap last? Thanks!!

Thanks for your video-how much of that powder do you use for one load?

I’m allergic to the borax do you know something else that I could use

Go to any thrift store, just get whatever blender for 10$.

Hi Jon, I'm a new soaper and I have a batch that I got too much lye in, can I use that for laundry soap or is it a total waste?

Can we use your laundry soap in cold water only ? How hard is this soap on clothing compared to commercial detergents made out of surfactants ?

Hey Jon, just wondering if there's any special qualities we should look for in soap to use in laundry powder? Are some types better than others? I still have some of my first ever batch of soap, it's pure rice bran oil, very hard and crumbly, but cleans skin really well. Would that be suitable? Don't think we have the brands you mentioned in Australia. Am I just overthinking things? Cheers for the video, I'm picking up a lot from your channel!

Hey Jon I love your videos. How much of this detergent do you use per wash?

Does this process have a detergent? I have seen a lot of people and recipes say laundry soap like this doesn't have a detergent and will mess up your washer over time.

What was in the blue bottle?

I made soap like four times just looking.

Hi.plz can u tell us how much u use borax and other. It is not clear plz write for us like your castile soap. Thanks a lot

I know this is an older video, but maybe you can help me a bit - first off love your videos, I am curious as to what size the bag is you are packaging in (will 2lbs of laundry powder fit in a 1lb tin tie bag?), and you say you need less soap then you think, my recipe has 1.7oz of soap in 1lb of finished laundry powder, is this too much? I also do add baking soda to mine as well as the washing soda and borax. It works better for me that way.

Hi Jon! I love your videos. I saw that you only use 1/2 tsp for an he washer. How much would work for a non-he washer? Also, Love that you blend it and don't have to spend half a day at a grater!

txs Jon humm how much should i put in my washer for a medium load ?

Hey Jon do you think they could be using the baking soda for a whitening agent? Just wondered because a lot of people use it for teeth whitening and skin whitening exfoliate.

What could I use instead of borax? We cannot buy it here in Germany as it is banned? You mentioned baking soda which is contained in many recipes here. Does it not work? I would really like to try your method!

Do you have a vegan version? Any bar soap i can chop that doesn't have tallow?

What did you add Last? scent?

Que cantidad de cada ingredients le pone? ... Es el jabon de castilla que tiene en su canal? Gracias... 😉

How did you get into making soap?

How much of your powder do you recommend per load?

How are you doing that 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉omg

🤗🥰

Why not give measurements? Especially since as you say: "yours is the same as others"? Isn't the difference in the soap you use?

I researched the difference between washing powder and baking soda. Not much difference. One hydrogen molecule only. Since some add powders like oxiclean which is basically dried hydrogen peroxide I don't see much need to purchase the more expensive washing powder. If I felt I absolutely needed washing powder I'd just bake baking soda. That will turn baking soda into washing powder.

It’s not a “How to” unless I can make it after watching!
