Making Homemade Laundry Soap

Now when I make mine-- I just use regular bar soap- whatever I happen to have on hand. We usually have Irish Spring. It makes the clothes smell really nice. I have never had any problems with the color running. But I also use a 5 gal. pot that you would use for canning that you put your jars in on the stove and I fill that completely up with hot water. I still let it set over night. Mine gets to a gel consistancy. So I have to shake my detergent ever time I get ready to use it to remix it. But no biggy. I use the same recipe as she used and I only use 1/4 cup in my loads and they come out fine. But to each their own. I also use vinegar for my fabric softener too. "No it doesn't make the clothes smell"
Have a nice day.....

How To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent

You have got to go see this video from *Living on a Dime Newsletter*.

They made a YouTube video on how to make homemade laundry soap.
I have been making this kind of soap for a number of years now and it cleans my clothes very nicely. The only thing I do differently is I don't use the fels naptha soap. I just use regular bath soap like Irish Spring(I like the smell of this). Then I just put 1/3-1/2 cup in when I do my wash and it won't suds up like your regular soap, which is good- that means less suds to get rid of. This works great for people with allergies. Then I use white Vinegar as my fabric softener. YES I know it smells- but the smell doesn't come off on your clothes.
The cost for this will be way less per load then your other laundry detergent and you can get the white vinegar on food stamps if you are on them.
This is a great money saver.
