Thanks Elly. My only other foray into making laundry powder was from your original recipe where I grated up a batch of "failed" shower soap. I really liked it and my container is now empty. As yet I have not made another batch because I read some negative reviews on home made laundry powder that said it was not good for washing clothes and which made me feel unsure. However I am now going to disregard that and make up your new recipe instead of using up leftovers! Love your video 🌼

Hello Elly. I have watched all of your videos, And been making soap for the last year. in fact, you are the reason why I decided to try cold and hot process soap. I've been doing m & p for the past 10 years. I decided to make this the other day and I got a little impatient what's pouring the LYE (I know better..lol). My lye was around 176 and my oils were around 100. Needless to say, I got soap on a stick. So I went ahead and put it in my Crock-Pot and it went to the Vaseline stage pretty quickly. So, I just cut it and figured since it is safe to touch and so on I would shred it now and let it dry out that way. I'll let you know how it turns out once I blend it with the washing soda. Thank you so much for the recipe I appreciate you!

Morning Elly, so good to see your new recipe. You see what you have started in my home and I am so so grateful I found you on You tube, I’m having the happiest time making all sorts of soap. I’ve written is recipe out in my book for the next time I need to make some. I have just started using the recipe given by Terri of Dana’s Irish herb garden she uses Marseille soap bar as basis which Makes a big batch of liquid laundry detergent. I’ve also made a smaller batch of 100% coconut oil laundry soap blocks for grating using Amanda Aaron’s recipe. Now I will try your recipe and be able to see how they all work for me. I like the additive of Eucalyptus oil, you mentioned hand washing with it, how does it go with knitted jumpers, I’ve always used Martha Gardners eucalyptus washing liquid would your soap be similar or too harsh? Thanks again.

Oohhh... I am trying this one too! I just love your recipes, the soaps come out just beautifully! I do have question, could I change the superfat percentage like you did with your coconut oil recipe to make this bar soap for everyday use also? I order some rice bran oil to try and do both, a cleansing bar and one for hand/body. Please let me know.

Hi Stephanie, I wouldn't use this for body wash etc, it would be quite drying. You could increase the superfat but that only works best with full coconut oil soap. Best to use a different recipe I think.

Hi Elly, it’s so nice to see you again, and congratulations on your wonderful website. Thanks for the great laundry/cleaning soap recipe! Could you please explain why the soap needs to go through a gel phase? I’m still confused about the reason for it.

Hi Maureen, there are a few reasons, but mainly that it makes a better quality soap that sets harder and doesn't go as soggy when it's in use (you can read more about it here, www.ellyseveryday.com/soap-making-terms but experiments have shown that gelled soaps absorb less water when they are wet, so they last longer.
