No more lugging home a big plastic bottle of laundry soap from the health food store. This sharing of knowledge is like gold. 🎉

I use baking soda (I buy a 12 lb. bag) and vinegar (gallon). Everything washes and softens beautifully. I combine both in the washing machine. Then use dryer balls. No matter how dirty something may be, it comes out smelling and feeling great. 🙂

I’m so glad I found Dr Janine. Thank you for making these videos.

I generally use soap berries AKA soap nuts I get from Amazon and they come with a little muslin bag. Just put a handful of them in the bag, tie it shut and add it in with the laundry, each time I do laundry I feel the berries (through the bag) and if most of the berries feel flat I take out the flat ones and add in a few fresh ones. I get at least 7 or 8 washes out of a hand full of berry halves (wondering how Dr Janine feels about those). for drying I use 2-4 wool balls depending on the load size.. when clothes are extra yucky I was using 2 TBSP of All Clear in the wash but even that irritates our skin. I will be making this recipe to use in place of the All. I actually already have Castile soap because it makes excellent foaming hand soap (along with a few drops of essential oil). Fill a little over 1/3 of the foaming soap dispenser bottle with Castile soap, a few drops of essential oil and then fill most of the way with warm water. Now just put on the lid and shake until well mixed. You can add extra water if it's too thick or a bit more soap if it's too thin.

Please be more specific with liquid measurements. Do you add the entire jar? What is the liquid measurement (one cup, 1/2 cup..etc.) per load?

I've been using an "earth-friendly" brand for many years, but it usually costs more than the conventional ones. This contains even fewer ingredients & will save more money! I've been meaning to make my own! Very timely! I also use 100% wool dryer balls, instead of dryer sheets. Thank you, Dr!

For everyone asking how much to use, it's a 1:1 ratio to liquid derergent.
She listed that in the video (above her head) toward the end.

[MrVarkeyengland]

Thank you Dr Janine Bowring. May the Lord Bless you.

[openminded]

I bought glass 1 litre bottles to make this and keep in storage!!! I also make my own fabric softener now! Thank you!

[misspeacchy]

I'm going to try this! My name brand detergent is nearly gone. Last year I substituted white vinegar for commercial fabric softner. It works just as well and costs far less.

[johnnyhorton]

Loved that! Thank you! Can't wait to try it! I was delighted viewing another Youtuber, Dr Berg, to discover that Baking Soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a natural mineral almost entirely mined in Wyoming. Before that I was scared of baking soda because I thought it must be a dangerous chemical. And maybe bad for me, as I personally find MSG, Monosodium Glutamate is, even though, like Baking Soda, MSG is a widely used cooking ingredient.

This recipe came just at the right time for me. I’m having skin sensitivity issues and I’m thinking it might be the laundry detergent. ❤️

[marshallmom]

Dr J.. i love this!! How much of this detergent do we use per normal load?

Thank you!! For every video!!

[linc]

Thank you soo much. I am trying now to figure out the amount to put in for a large load? Great facts and tips. Thank you sooo much. You are so knowledgeable.

[shondelljames]

Thanks for sharing! Is this ok to use in LG front loaders?

[h.a]

A question: As this recipe contains water, how long would this last before bacteria grows in it? Especially kept at room temperature. The size of the jar looks like it would do quite a few washes so if it might not get used up quickly, maybe a preservative would be beneficial? Another idea would be to produce just enough to last a few washes that could be stored in a fridge for a couple of days. Your thoughts??😊

I use essential oils (usually lavender) on dryer (wool) balls for some freshness. Once I make this I won't maybe need to. I have been using Tru earth

[Frostfire]

I get hives and not sure what's causing it. Been breaking out with them pretty much daily the last several months. Wondering if my detergent might be causing it. Was thinking of switching detergent but making it myself so I can get rid of all the extra ingredients and chemicals is even better. I'll try making some and using that and see if it helps. Thank you!

[lilyrosesoul]

Vinegar can corrode the metal parts in the washing machine & make any seals or rubber parts dry & hard. In time washing machine may leak .

[leerobs]

The nice thing about this is you can use different essential oils each week etc.
