Unwrap the zote soap and leave to dry out for a few weeks and Way easier to cut up just falls apart. I cut up a bunch and it sits in a container until I make more.

[purposegardens]

love how resourceful you are and how much your saving money! Repurposing is awesome. Thanks for this recipe.

[rjc]

Thank you so much. I used your instructions and I’m trying the soap out today. This has been a Godsend!❤

[kathydurrett]

Now that you've mixed it can u use it n cold water wash???

[jimmiedenise]

I just made my soap again from your recipe. I have to say I love it! Thank you!

[Lovliqueen]

I love this soap. It also is good at removing blood out of your fabrics. I had a piece of clothing that I have washed several times in the blood stain did not come out. I cut off a piece of the bar and worked in and it came out.

Is borax really needed for a load of laundry with this? I live in rural Alaska and all I have is Zote bar, no borax. Detergent is $40 each. If I can wash with just Zote and water mix, I'd be a happy clam

[kelleyjerred]

I've been making it for at least 15 years its my fave

[marilynrenaud]

I recently made this and added Arm & Hammer Washing Soda to the bucket after the second gallon and stirred. I hope I like it.

[MountainHarmonyGardening]

I will have to try this. I'm always making the cleaners for my house so I need to add this one to it. Thanks Sammie for comments on my olla video. I had to check your channel out because of that.

Zote is 98 cents per bar at Walmart I make this but in the powder version and I use several bars in my powder version it will not fade your clothes if you used it alone and dumped half the graded bar in your machine zote is a brighter and also Repels Mosquitoes and other Pesky outdoor bugs!! I’ve used the liquid version but for some reason it didn’t clean as well as the powdered version. I make mine with a food processor so it’s really fine just like laundry powder if not even finer than store bought powder and can be used in any HE machine top or front loader if you make the powder version you only need 2 to 3 table spoons per load so if you are only using that small amount per load you can use your front loader drawer but I just recommend throwing whatever amount you chose to use if your heavy handed like me to just throw it in the drum and add clothes I have a Samsung HE large capacity top loader so I do use more than 2 or 3 table spoons on extra heavy soiled loads I use half cup to 1 cup and my clothes come out smelling amazing and never faded doesn’t fade my black clothing either but here is what I put in my powdered version and it’s a huge batch when I make it honey it enough for a year for a family of 5 at half a cup to a cup per load every load I store it in a 35 gallon tote with locking lid and it’s completely full to the rim when I’m finished making it and I’m here to tell ya nothing in any store cleans better it removes blood stains grass stains chocolate stains that have set up for a few days that’s really what I love about my version of laundry powder it’s so strong I know whatever stains are on the clothes I don’t have to run and soak it then wash it immediately cuz my stuff gonna get it out on the first wash every time days later lol 😂 but this is just my opinion your really Diluting your liquid version down to hardly any cleaning power it’s practically water with a dab of soap give it a try with less water I promise you’ll see a huge difference cleaning wise and the smell of your laundry will be alittle stronger and it smells fabulous but with that much water your not gonna get much if any smell at all unless that’s what you like than that’s understandable!! But anywho this is what I put in mine 8 bars of zote graded in the food processor I use washing soda to help break it down in the food processor it should grade into a powder after you’ve done all the zote I also add fels naptha they are also 98 cents per bar much smaller in size tho but it’s actually made by purex and it’s a stain remover laundry bar I grate about 10 of those the same way with washing soda until it’s all a thin powder dump all your soaps in your large tote and slowly mix all the next ingredients alittle at a time so
It’s all Incorporated no Particular order is needed with all that soap you’ve grated you’ll probably use close 2 to 3 full boxes of arm and hammer washing soda not baking soda so whatever you have left of your washing soda if any throw that in the tote then I slowly add 4 boxes of borax mixing as I go I also add arm and hammer baking soda 4 boxes of the 4 pound boxes 1 large box of 200 loads of oxy clean Oder blaster it smells amazing 4 boxes of Purex color safe bleach I believe they are 2 and a half pound boxes 8 pound bag of Roma it’s the biggest bag in Walmart beside the zote the biggest bag of foco 2 large bags of Ariel plus downy 2 large bags of pinol it’s in a purple bag smells like lavender omg all this mixed to perfection is top notch laundry powder the smell is unbelievable it’s so good you can add scent beads if you like of course I do lol I love love the downy romantic scent beads 2 large containers of that 2 large containers of downy bliss and 2 large size unstoppables in fresh mixed all in and people gonna be asking what perfume are you wearing you smell fabulous all the time on a daily basis I have to tell people it’s not perfume it is my clothes then they go crazy asking what I use it smells expensive and fabulous it does cost a bit up front but no where near what I would spend on a large box of tide once a week then using the scent beads fabric softeners I spend about 100 on everything maybe alittle less but that’s it for over a year and you smell amazing all year you can’t beat it!! It’s worth the upfront cost to have very clean clothes that smell amazing weeks months after a wash and still in the dresser or closet hell if you sweat on a hot day you smell even better lmao 🤣 I just absolutely love my powdered version I’ve gave out samples to family and friends who all now make there own bcuz they loved it as well!! But great video please try it using less water for cleaner and fresher smelling laundry you’ll notice a huge difference maybe only add half of the water your using in your gallon jug and fill it the rest of the way with your soap I bet you’ll love the results! ❤️

[puppetmaster]

When freshly made and you add to half water, does it still gel up?

[dougs]

Just wondering if this jells up like it does will it gum up your washing machine innards over time??

[kristinnorman]

How much do you put in each load of laundry?

[tfahairstyles]

Very simple recipe. I am gonna try it. Can i use vinegar or any other substitute instead of borax?

[lynnettawilliams]

Thanks for sharing this way with out the borax and washinhing soda

[lynnettawilliams]
