Hey guys! Today I finally made my own laundry detergent! This was actually pretty cool to do and it smells amazing! This recipe makes a ton of laundry soap (504 loads apparently). You only need 2 tablespoons per load making each load around .04 cents! Crazy right!? Anyways with these claims it will probably last a year for us. =) We will see about that lol Thank you for watching!
***UPDATE***After using the homemade recipe it does seem like it does a ok job. Now the amount of actual soap in this recipe to me it’s not going to replace what actual detergent does for actually getting a deep clean. I am going to use a combination of this and my regular detergent. I am not going to use as much of my regular detergent since I will be using this also. This was a cool experiment to try for sure!

I do this recipe often and if you put the Zote in the microwave for intervals of 30-60 it'll bubble up and just crumbles in your fingers. Just don't leave it in for too long before stopping intervals or it'll burn. It's sooo much easier and faster that grating it!!

I used a similar recipe and it really does clean amazingly well! I also use wool dryer balls for extra softness and static control. Your clothes feel like a well-worn tee shirt! However...it is expensive and time consuming to make. I think it works better, but you have to balance all the factors. I do not have a HE washer so I use a little less than a 1/4c. (1/6c.??) and I didn’t feel like it lasted any longer than what I would buy. My husband and daughter suffer from eczema and this recipe (minus the Downy) did wonders for their skin.

washing soda is sodium carbonate and baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, mixing them together just makes a product in between (weaker) you should heat the sodium bicarbonate up first to make sodium carbonate and then add that in, because it's ~ 1000 times better than sodium bicarbonate. So basically all you did by mixing them was reduce it's strength

Try it in liquid form, you can make 5 gallon buckets out of wayyyyy less of each of those things, 1 fels naptha bar with 4 cups of water and boil it till its all incorporated (stir it a little) mix up 2 cups borax and 2 cups super washing soda, drop the fels naptha and the dry ingredients into the bucket, fill it about halfway with hot water, mix it with a mixing paddle that attaches to a drill, fill the bucket not all the way to the top leave a little room to add 1 more thing and the ability to mix again, let it sit for 2 days, add 64ish load of laundry soap of your choice and mix again now you've created 5 gallons of super awesome laundry detergent, BTW get a hot plate from Walmart or something and this outside, it's pretty strong smelling stuff, not bad smelling, just strong lol

I just wanted to pass on what I’ve learned by watching many of these videos, it isn’t meant to sud up a lot as it’s better for your clothes. The rinsing gets them all out making you clothes cleaner and your washer less build up. Hope that helps. 👍😊

I've been using this soap for years. If you have kids, use as a booster (1tbs) per load plus your regular detergent. If you use Tide, you can use half the amount plus the 1 or 2TBS of the homemade. Kid's dirt needs enzymes and Tide has the enzymes (as does the Kirkland detergent). I use a food processor to grate the soap, done in mere minutes.

Easy to pour into glass container. Store the extra in the bag, in a plastic container with lid.

You got all the ingredients right except your only supposed to use half a box of arm and hammer not the whole box, the first batch you make will be the most expensive yes it super cheap for only $30 bucks but the half a box of arm and Hammer equals another batch and $3.99 less on your next batch making your next back only $26 dollars, also it's a compound recipe sweetie never use too much baking soda it's acidic it could eat your clothes away if you use too much it has the same effect on toothpaste and remember what happens when you mix vinegar and baking soda acid, next time only use half a box of baking soda unless you want your skin all dried out trust me I still make this recipe every 6 months it works my brother asks me to make it for him and his mom all the time, and on the plus side, you can clean the bathroom with it , and you can shampoo the carpets with it 🥰

Earlier, I forgot to mention that I don't use the Oxiclean and Baking Soda in my recipe. I occasionally add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baking soda to a load for water softener and strong odor removal. Overall, the whole boxes of Borax and Washing Soda mixed with the Fels Naptha and scent booster get the job done. Have been using it for years!!

I don’t mean to scare you or be rude, but I just want to point out that excessive Borax (or to the boron in Borax) exposure can hurt fertility and/or hurt fetuses in pregnant women. Borax has a warning of just that on its packaging in the European Union. Children are particularly vulnerable to it, because they are so small. It isn’t acutely dangerous, obviously, but boric acid develops naturally, so we are exposed to it through food, water and other sources, so it’s just recommended (where I live, at least) to limit artificial exposure to it as much as possible, because it all adds up. If you can leave it out of your detergent, or find a safer replacement, would maybe be a good idea. ☺️

You can buy name brand powdered laundry detergent for what you’d spend making this and save yourself the labor. Lol The whole idea is to SAVE MONEY by making your own, but to each her own. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The oxi clean and lavender downy beads are unnecessary. Instead use lavender essential oil drops and boil all of this with a few gallons of hot water. Approximately 5 gallons can be made. That reduces the cost by about 18 dollars.

Cut the soap up with a knife, put in a blender!! I wouldn't use scent, I wouldn't use A LOT of Borax. That stuff is harsh. You should have some basic understanding of water, ph, and chemicals before you throw all this together ❤️

@@kushpaladin No, it isn't. You're perpetrating the ignorance that leads to your clothes NOT getting clean. For crying out loud, now I'm the one who has to educate you ignorance! Like I said, soap and detergent are 2 DIFFERENT things. It's like saying a flour tortilla and a loaf of bread are "basically the same ." Yes, they are both made with flour and you can eat them, but as we all know, they are, vastly, different. SOAP does not remove dirt or grime on it's own, you have to rigorously rub and/or scrub with soap & water to remove said dirt or grime. When washing your hands, you use soap because the manufactures know you will be RUBBING your hands together. Back in the day people would use soap to wash their clothes in conjunction with a wash tub and a washboard. The person would rub and scrub the clothes, vigorously, up on down on the washboard ,repeatedly, to remove dirt and grime from the clothes. DETERGENT, however, works very differently, as it does not require rubbing and/or scrubbing. For example, if you put dish washing detergent in a greasy lasagna pan to sit, the detergent lifts and removes the grease WITHOUT you having to scrub; perhaps you've seen the TV commercial that depicts the aforementioned. Todays modern washing machines do NOT rub or scrub your clothes together, they are, merely, swished back-n-forth in a circular motion. Therefore, because there is NO scrubbing, soap can not be used, detergent (with it's lifting power) is used. Also, if you use soap in a washing machine, because there's no rubbing and scrubbing to get the soap out, the soap stays in your clothes and a soap build-up will form. Soap build-up leads to your towels not absorbing water very well and your clothes will take on a dingy appearance. Not to mention, your clothes aren't getting clean, because the soap, actually traps the dirt and grime in your clothes.
