You can use funnels and place a paper under your jar and once it's messy you can fold the paper and get the jumpers back into the jar!💕

2 caps of washing soda
2 caps of baking soda
1 natural soap
Essential oils

Suggestion, use large bowl to combine everything. Then put it in a jar

I love this detergent so much! My husband always insisted I wash his stuff in Tide because other natural detergents I've tried don't do anything for arm pit odor.
Well this works even better than Tide!
I add an additional 1/4 cup each of baking soda and borax straight to the drum as well as vinegar in the fabric softener compartment.
I'm hesitant to switch to this for my cloth diapers still, but I really want to because it's just so much better than Tide for my baby's skin

2 cups washing Soda
2 cups baking soda
Grate 1 natural soap bar into jar with other ingredients (fine grading)
Essential oils optional

Patric Richardson, aka The Laundry Evangelist, has said there's no such thing as a detergent for HE washers.. ..it's just a matter of using less. He says most of us use way too much ... that causes residue.
I've seen the opinion that homemade isn't safe for HE washers. I have a top-loading HE washer. I have made my own dry laundry powder for years. You only need 1 tablespoon of the powder for a full load. ..or 1/8 cup of liquid...yes, even the commercial detergents.
Thank you, Laura. You supply wonderful information in an interesting way. I enjoy your channel! I subscribed a long time ago.

I would suggest using a canning funnel for the purpose of reducing product spill over the countertop, this however was a great recipe.

I hope by now you have found it to be easier to put the bar soap in your blender. Add some of the washing soda powder along with it while blending so it doesn't stick. Thanks for the video!

I dun know why feel so relaxed whenever watching detergent powder making..🌚

Put the jar on a large piece of paper. When the ingredients spill, use the paper to just pour them back in the jar.

I’ve heard from washing machine dealers to not use shredded Zote, Naphtha, and other bars because they clog up your machine after awhile. Better to stick to detergent cleaners. I use washing soda, baking soda, eprom salt, and sea salt. I like the idea of essential oil sachets in drawers for fragrance.

So glad I found this video ! I never thought about making my own soap until I watched someone else do it using similar products like you did. Only she made a years worth of powdered laundry soap. I’m like noooo 😭 Lol I don’t even know if my family is allergic to any of these products I need smaller amounts. And then your video popped up and I’m grateful 😁 Can’t wait to try this for our family.

I use a food processor to blend it all together gets soap graded better too after grading it or u can put the blender bottom on top of jar screw it on and use a blender

I think I just found my new favorite channel 💖 thank you for sharing your recipes.

[loopylau]

Thank you Laura! I make a similar recipe but use my magimix to wizz up the soap bar as I don’t like doing it by hand! Then you can add the other ingredients and wizz them in too!

Today at Dollartree I found a bar of soap called Shugar Soapworks it says it’s a natural plant derived vegan gluten free bar if soap. For a dollar. I wondered if this could be used in the laundry soap and if you have ever used that brand before????

[Mama-tea]

For uk people washing soda is SODA CRYSTALS

[iminco]

I have never had any luck with essential oils in my laundry soap. It smells great going in but it makes no difference at all in the end.

[angieb]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I'm excited to try it! But I am a little confused on how much to use. Is the rule of thumb 2 tablespoons for a medium size load?

[alyssaradtke]

Great info! So excited to swap my store-bought stuff for your recipe! What was your process for washing cloth diapers? Like how many wash cycles and amounts if this detergent you'd recommend. We have an HE front loader. Thanks so much for your info and supporting other families with living a nontoxic life and keeping our littles safe! ❤️
