***PLEASE NOTE*** Yes! Any salt will work. Go with the cheapest you have. The only reason I am using sea salt in mine is because it is the cheapest salt I have. Years ago I purchased two 50 lb bags for only $8 per bag. That is 0.16 per pound. I save my expensive, mineral rich salts for anything food related. I typically use 1-2 Tablespoons per load

Hi Heidi, Thank you so much for this. I am an old lady, just now getting into these kinds of cleaning supplies. My Mama would love this. She was familiar with old ways of cleaning, since she lived through the Great Depression. Please tell me what kind, and how much, of your home made vinegar that you prefer, for a laundry rinse agent. I am also learning to make vinegar. Also, please give me the amounts of this laundry powder you are using for dish washing, by hand, and carpet cleaning. When you discover how much works well in the dish washer, that would be helpful too. When you add it to your scouring powder, how much are you adding? Our God IS good All the time. May He continue to bless you, as you bless others, using your thirst for knowledge, good health and frugality. Love in Christ, Kathryn

I started off using this as a booster because I was afraid it wouldn’t get my kids clothes all the way clean. Boy was I wrong. I’m a mother of 6 and I use 2-3T for each load, in the dishwasher I use 1T, and I also use it for stains in the floor and on the counters. It works so wonderfully and is super easy to make. Thank you thank you thank you. I think I may make a huge batch of this and just refill my quart jar.

Heidi, I've been using this for a month now, and this is the best detergent I've ever used! I've used Tide, Whisk, All, Persil, etc. My son is Autistic and has sensitive skin and Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin). I was using All Free & Clear for 13 years before I tried this. This is hands down the best I've ever used and cost me almost nothing. Furthermore, I make washing soda from baking soda so it's even cheaper! I couldn't thank you enough!

A few years ago, I had a dog named Candace that was very elderly. (She died at 17). She was really sweet but got weaker. She couldn't tolerate standing long enough for a bath so I mixed a home-made dry shampoo. I put cornstarch and a few drops of orange oil in a spice container, shook it and let it set for a few days. I brushed her real good and then sprinkled it on her coat, working it in with my hands. It really made such a difference in taking away that doggy smell and made it easier for the family to love on her. RIP, Candace. 🐶🐾👅

Hi Heidi, been making my laundry soap for several years. I mix up a Big 5 gallon bucket that will last us for all ver a year. Seems like there’s always something to wash 🥴. Got a new washer 3 (?) yrs ago & the darn thing tells me when it needs to be cleaned 😳. I only use hot water for bedding & towels. I’ll make up some of yours tho as it’s about time to wash down the walls again. Desert sand & major wind at times leaves a fine layer of dust everywhere 😤😤 I’m 73 & thought people were crazy yrs ago when they said soon we would only need a plastic card to shop🤪🤪. Now machines tell us what to do 😵‍💫😵‍💫. No Alexa here tho😜😜 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I have been using homemade laundry soap from soap flakes. Over the years I noticed that my kitchen towels don’t absorb water anymore. Very annoying! 😡 I’ve been searching online and found out it was just BECAUSE of the soap flakes! One woman suggested to add some dish detergent to my liquid mixture. So I tried that for the first time and noticed that my kitchen towels were a bit softer and took up water a bit better. Since I have to be very frugal because of my very tight budget and the friggin insane price rises, I am now so happy to have found this! Baking soda is (still) cheap here in Belgium and now I can make recipe this for even less money!! A few laundries from now, I’ll come back and share the result of this with my towels. That was absolutely driving me nuts: towels that don’t dry...🙄🙄🙄 Since I’m alone, I don’t have a load of laundry every week, so this might take a while! I am really curious about the results! Will do a wash tomorrow asap! THANKS!

@26debsterdots 2 жыл бұрын

Since watching this video I have made a gallon jar of this soap. I had planned on putting some in a shaker jar for scouring powder and a jar for washing dishes by hand and with the dishwasher. I washed clothes and they are cleaner as is my washing machine. 2- I used it in the dishwasher ( 1 t ) and my dishes came out very clean and so did the inside of my dishwasher. Well, mostly .... because my water turns a lot of things orange. But a lot of that orange came out. I only use the dishwasher once or twice a week If that. But I had a full load and went ahead to try this. 3-Hand washing the dishes was really nice as well. 4-Scoured my sink and that was pretty when it was done ! Next test is the bath tub that is supposed to be white but has a lot of orange. I am feeling pretty confident though it will be white in no time at all. So This viewer absolutely LOVES this laundry soap powder and the versatility of it. Thanks so much Heidi ! ******** correction I used a scant Tablespoon ( not a teaspoon ) in my dishwasher because of the orange staining from our city water. A teaspoon would probably work so just play with it at your house and see what works for you.

Wow very informative thank you for giving me the link… I will definitely have to try that … my husband is so allergic to so many things that are over the counter when it comes to laundry detergent… I also wash only in cold water… Thank you again blessed be

Wow Heidi! Mind blown!😲💥 I'm looking forward to using this in the dishwasher especially! When I use up the laundry soap, I'll use it there too! Thank you So much! I love the way you think outside the box! 💜🤗

How well did this work in the dishwasher, and how much did you use?

@@juliehightshoe5238 it was ok in the dishwasher. I used a teaspoon or two. I have vinegar in the rinse cycle so I may play around with that.
