Homemade Laundry Soap
Posted on May 31, 2016
.Making your own laundry soap at home can be cost-effective without sacrificing cleaning power! We posted last week about a homemade coconut oil laundry bar recipe, which you can grate and combine with a few other ingredients to create a gentle and mild, yet deep cleaning laundry soap.
EQUIPMENT
Cheese Grater
Mixing Bowl
Gloves
Airtight Container (for storage)
INGREDIENTS
1 Laundry Bar (Zote Soap, Fels Naptha, or make your own)
3 Cups Borax
3 Cups Washing Soda (to make your own washing soda, use 3 Cups Baking Soda and see Step 2 below)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Grate laundry bar with a cheese grater.
2. If you do not have washing soda on hand, spread baking soda onto cookie sheet and bake at 400° F for 15 minutes to transform into washing soda.
3. Mix laundry bar shreds, washing soda and borax in a large bowl gently by hand. Be sure to wear gloves, as they can dry out your skin
4. Use 1/8 cup of soap per load of laundry.
You csn also use the one pound castile melt and pour soap that glory bee offers. It works great!
Nice tip!
