I made this last week. Had been using a recipe that calls for Zote, washing soda and borax but it was not getting my whites as bright as they could be. I love this and will be using from here on out. One thing I did differently than your instructions was to mix the borax and washing soda in hot water before adding the dish detergent. That way all powder is dissolved before the detergent is added and there will be very little (if any) suds when the water is added.

For those of you looking for an 89 oz container- the dawn refill bottles are 90 oz in case you have one lying around.

I love this recipe for laundry detergent. I've used it for 2 years in my HE washer. ( front loader ) It works very well. For whites I add oxygenated bleach from the Dollar Tree. 2 scoops and hot water wash.❤️

I love it when I come across videos like this where the recipe consists of ingredients that I already have at home! Thanks for this! I look forward to trying it soon.

Thank you for the lesson in how to do this, I hope to come back soon and tell you how it went. Have a great day.

Thanks Jillee!! I LOVE your recipe. So glad you use Dawn in it. It's been my go-to kitchen helper forever--and believe me, I've tried everything! Thanks so much for your wonderful channel. Remember to just ignore the naysayers. Their opinions will just bring you down. Stay your upbeat, positive self!! ((hugs))

Thank you for this video..... I loved your dry laundry detergent and adjusted the amount of certain items according to my household washing and I fell in love. I did a lot of research and found yours to be the best for me and my family. Now I think I am ready to give the liquid one a go. My plan once I have the liquid one according to my household washing is to make enough of dry and liquid detergent to last for all of next year. I homeschool so it is going to be a science project to do with my 5, 4, and 2 year old. The plan is to make start making it this December and have it ready to go by the end of that month. Please keep ideas like this coming because I really enjoy them.

Thanks!!!!!! I’m making this tomorrow 👍

Yay!!! Thank you so much!

I swear by Dawn this will work for me . thank you. Quick and easy. Not all that grating and stirring in a pot on top if the stove

I prefer using Dr Bronner's castile soap instead of Dawn. You can add vegetable glycerin as a binding agent so the ingredients won't separate after sitting awhile. You still may need to stir or shake the container you put the mixture in before adding it to your machine. 1/2 cup per load max.

Thanks just subbed. Sounds great and easy.

I’ve been making a similar recipe for years. I love it.

I am going to try your version. It seems pretty easy. I lost my main source of income around 5 months ago. Ever since, I am always looking for money saving strategies. Will hit you back in a couple of weeks to give you my opinion. Dawn does clean a lot of things.

thank you for your video. i just made a batch of grate soap powder type. i think i would like this better

Hi Jillee! I’ve heard that borax fades colors on cotton fabrics. Can you comment or suggest a substitute?

i put the dish liquid in last when i got the container filled up that way wedont loose no suds,then i stir it with a stick because otherwise half the suds is lost

thanks for making this video, Personally I I love your recipe for powder detergeant and I buy the already grated zote soap and just dump and mix lol, I dont mind paying a dollar extra for it, but my mom prefers liqiud soap so I am going to give this a try

Is this actually safe for the newer washing machines that are supposed to use low suds soap?

We are checking on this

Xmas 🎄 and we will try again tomorrow

Everything is fine 🙂

we use the liquid detergent only for the colored laundry because we had too often the problem of the powder stuck on the black laundry :( but on the white ones the powder detergent is just the greatest!

Can you add essential oils for scent

Thank you!!! I'm always looking for a way to save money, and this will definitely help! New subscriber:) Has anyone tried adding essential oils for scent?

How does it compare in price to ready made?

I like liquid because I have a septic system. It is recommended.

Maybe adding the Dawn last will eliminate the foam over

Can u use the oxygen bleach on dark colors

Thank you! & no one seems to notice but you are beautiful too 😊!

Thanks for sharing. Can I use Palmolive instead?

Amazing recipe. But i suggests using castile soap its non toxic .the whole point is a nontoxic washing liquid .

Dawn is not 'non toxic. If a person is taking the time to make a cost effective product then also ensure that it really is non toxic and is healthy for you and your family to use

should it be non-ultra dawn, or is it ultra? thanks for sharing!!

QUESTION? Once the recipe completed, does it become like a gel (ingredients reaction) the next day and you have to shake it before using it in the washer?

great

Can you use baking soda instead of borax?

I will love to make.soap

I love it. It took me a minute to refind you. I am gonna subscribe this time

Hello! Thank you for the recipe. I have a question: is it necessary to use fabric softener with this homemade laundry detergent?

Can u add essential oils for sum scent

Can I use natriumbicarbonate instead of natrium carbonate? Anyone tried this.

You might want to look into Dawn soap ingredients. Research some of the chemicals they have posted. You will see what I mean. It’s not non toxic sadly because it does work well. Unfortunately, Bronners is no better . There are a few out there , the best bet is to look at the back of the bottle

Not everyone followed the trend on H.E. washers. How much detergent for a regular nin H.E. washer?THANK YOU

Hey there - love your site and helpful tips, Jillee! I've loved this easy detergent recipe, but am curious why it now appears to be missing from your website, and the link is disabled in this video. Do you no longer recommend this version?

Update...I used this the first time & it is strong ... it tore holes in my dish towels. Think I'll use only 1/8 cup per load next time. My clothes smell clean though. Also, sometimes it leaves a powder residue on the clothes, and crystals precipitate out from the liquid no matter how many times I re-dissolve it with heat.

Never put dish detergent in a washing machine. I worked in a halfway house and we had to lock the dish detergent up b/c residents were using it to do laundry when they ran out of laundry soap. They destroyed two washing machines and the appliance repair man told us what caused it.

does it help with dirt I hear these receipts help with grease /regular laundry

And fighting the high cost of liquid laundry detergent!

I made this but it formed some crystals in it at the bottom of it, do you know what would cause this?

Plus

If dawn is so toxic then why do we use it on dishes, that will be going in our mouths?

Guess what I'm doing today??? Yep- making laundry detergent. Lol. Thanks Jillee for all your awesome hacks, tips and tricks. Seriously people if you haven't visited yet, check out her site: Www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com

Recipe 1.5 cup Borax (or oxygen bleach) 0.5cup washing soda (NOT baking) 0.5cup (125 ml) concentrated dish soap (dawn or Fairy) 1 litre (4 cups) very hot water Dilute with approx 4 litres of water

Hi Jillee can you tell me how many later jug that is?

Please is't possible to expire ?

8am and all of us 🇺🇸 ♥️ are not able 😢

If dawn was sooo toxic..then WHY do wildlife rescuers use it on animals who have been the victims of toxic oil spills? Hmmmm? Tell those people that dawn is toxic and see what they tell you.

Some people are so negative. Keep your negative comments to yourselves. If you don’t like it just move on and don’t make it. Geez. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Convert 89 ozs to litres on internet

This looks like it might FADE you clothes

Dang it nin should be non below. Legally blind here 😇

Just because Dawn is used on wildlife doesn't make it less toxic. People in this world does a lot of things for a lot of different reasons. It doesn't make all of the decisions right. And just because the use is published on tv doesn't make it okay either. So for all you Dawn supporters, have you researched the chemicals individually? Or found long term studies on the soap? Have you written the company to find out the percentage of chemicals that are left on your dishes to dry and you consume them every time you eat? Dawn is made up of synthetics. Sythentics are tetragogens. While this maybe a quick, simple, cheap product. Opt to use a replacement like Dr. Brenner's or Castile Soap. Especially if your a women. Those intimate garments will be leaning against the breast and vagina all day. The breast stores breast milk and the vagina is a membrane. Just 2 important reasons why I wouldn't wash those intimates in anything with Dawn. I would definitely switch out the Dawn if you have children that you're washing for. The autoimmune diseases are rising significantly. Our children are exposed to more then their fair share with soaps, food, toxic air, emf signals, etc. We don't need to add to it.

Dawn dish soap, I would NEVER use that is the washing machine....Please research the dawn. Petrochemicals....

Dawn toxic? You r not drinking.....you r just washing clothes

Dawn is incredibly toxic, please research it, borax also has mixed reviews
