Floridian here, and grateful to God, for a standing home, no loss of power........ just lots of yard debris. I have a sixty foot bald cypress that shook like a ragdoll all night. The front doors rattled, and tree limbs broke and flew on the roof. After fifty years of living in Florida, you never stop holding your breath until the season is officially over. Sadly, the death toll continues to rise. You're so right Miss Lori about prayers. It's impossible for me to think of a life without FAITH, especially in times like this.

My grandmother would cherish you. She made lye soap and it ate up your clean, they were clean the thin, that was her homemade detergent. She did the best she could do with 12 growing kids. My Mom was the oldest and I am the oldest grandchild, I am 70 , my Mom passed when she was 89 and I miss my grandmother she had a homemade remedy for everything. I remember boiling water for washing in a black wash pot. She had no running water in the wash house. Yes she had a house to wash in with all those kids she needed that. Remember hanging close on the line and using a stick to hold them up when it got to heavy. Loved those days. Miss my grandmother and mother,they had so many remedies and recipes for that I thank you, because you bring back memories of them both so often. God truly has blessed you and Mr. Brown to bring joy to so many people who lived it, but can’t recall it. For that I say “God Bless You and Mr. Brown “, continue your ministry to everyone 🙏🏽

Please do some research!!! There is a difference between SOAP and DETERGENT. The homemade laundry SOAP builds up on clothes and makes them stiff. Detergent has an additive in it that pulls dirt OUT. Some claim that the SOAP clogged their wash machines.

Hi Miss Lori. I am in Polk County Fl in between Tampa and Orlando. We got hit really hard here. I really appreciate the work that your son is doing here. My power just came on this morning. I have some damage, but my home is livable. Many of my neighbors lost their roofs. Many in my area are still without power. I am hoping against hope that schools open Monday so I can get back to work I am a substitute teacher, so anytime schools are closed I can't work. Really hoping they are open on Monday. Had to throw out most of my refrigerated food. My big freezer was ok. Thank goodness I have been pressure canning most of my meat. Still had to throw away a lot, but not as much as some people had to. I can tell you that I don't think I have ever been so terrified as I was during the storm. It is not something I wish to go through again. But thankfully, I am mostly ok.

Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown, Thank you for the usable, practical information taught on your channel. I remember seeing some of the old ways as a child with relatives and friends in “the country” where there was no running water- just a hand pump in the house, a wash tub for the kids feet before bed, a “white owl” at night to keep from having to go to the out house, a wood stove in the kitchen, a churn on milking days when butter was needed, and a broom handle by the garden to lift up the pea vines to check for rattlers before we kids picked the peas. Lol. These reminders you present fill in the blanks from my childhood memories that may well come in handy more than we think. Your calm genuine demeanor makes the learning easy paced and effective for learning cooking at my level of needing some basics. You both, in my book, represent what to be an American is all about. It is a spirit, an authenticity, honest and self reliant goodness that is America. To me, America does not exist in governments fraught with corruption, hidden agendas and encroachments on the constitution and founding documents fundamental to freedom. America exists in the hearts of we the people, in simple, caring and genuine intentions of good will and freedom of we the people. Thank you both for being that light. Jb

Now I read a very interesting article about why homemade laundry soap is very different and used in a very different manner to laundry detergents. The difference lies in HOW you wash your clothes. Modern washing machines do not use friction, which soap needs to clean clothes. It uses agitation, which is why detergents work so well. They take the dirt out of the surface with the agitation process. Detergents clean very well as these are petroleum based and they work better in modern washing machines. Now homemade laundry soaps need friction like your washboard you used in your last laundry video! This why back in the day clothes washed this way got SO CLEAN, they were scrubbed. Soap is made with lard or other natural products but for them to work and clean well must have friction. Hope this is of help or use to someone! Just something I learned and wanted to share. 🙂 *Oh I re-read my post, and wanted to say I have used homemade laundry soap in my modern washing machine with wonderful results. I do notice after a time however, my towels do not dry as well and things looked dingy. I switch back to detergent and after a few washes, my clothes are back to the way I want them. So I switch between homemade laundry soap and commercial laundry detergents. It is what I find works best for my situation.

You remind me so much of my Aunt Anna K. My grandpa was from a very small town in Arkansas, called Hartford. Right between Sugarloaf Mountain and Poteau Mountain. You feel like family! I really look forward to your videos and love every one of them! Thank you for this. This recipe will save a ton of money and it’s so much healthier than all the chemicals! God bless you and Mr. Brown! ❤

You are the one's with it. Keep doing what your doing. Think your great !!!!

Thank you Ms. Lori! Love your videos!😊I love that you and Mr. Brown are “keepers of the old ways”. ❤️❤️

I love your channel ❤️ It's always relaxing, and you make it all so interesting and informative. I love how you share your faith, and it blesses me so much. I've tried so many of your recipes and have had great success with them. I really want to try this laundry soap too. I have a friend who has used this type for along time and she loves it. Thank you so much for giving to the Lord, and for your kindness. God bless you and your family

I make mine too. I use wool balls in dryer and put a little essential oils on them instead of dryer sheets. They are so bad for us. I use Zote ,washing soda and borax for my laundry soap. We love you all too!! Thank you for welcoming us into your home and sharing your lives w/ us. You're so sweet.

❤You Miss Lori and Mr. Brown .

Oh no! Please never change your introduction, its just perfect for you guys. QUESTION - How much of your homemade soap would you use for a full size load of cotton baby diapers? Do you think it would need a little more soap to help with the odor, or an additive like the Arm and Hammer booster? We love you guys too very much, and appreciate that you share so much of your lives with us!! God bless. Shirley.

Love to hear the words "cotton baby diapers!" I used to rinse the diapers out as best I could them put them in a bucket that had water and borax in it. The diapers soaked until I had a full load. I dumped the bucket in the washer and sent them through the rinse cycle before washing. The diapers always came out fresh and clean, stain free and bright white. Oh, I used about 1/3 cup borax to a 5 gallon bucket.

@@reneenewfrock5743 That sounds so easy! Very good advice and I thank you for that very much for taking the time to explain it all!!

Thank you Miss Lori, I was so excited for this! Sending prayers to those that lost everything from Hurricane Ian as well as all the people that have went down to help Floridians out. So thankful that your son was ok too, bless him-the Lineman, and all others are amazing. Bless everyone! Love your introduction in each video, it takes me home to my roots. Love that you and Mr. Brown are staying true to yourselves. Love, hugs and blessings, Brenda

Thank you so much!

My great aunt Aggie was still making her own soap up to the mid 70's. Using ashes and lye in her huge kettle outside. She was such a hard worker.

i love this song playing with the introduction on videos and you and mr brown dancing at the end Best Country Violin Music ~Leaning On the Everlasting Arms by Zachariah Hickman

I've been thinking about doing this for quite a while. Paying for and discarding the large plastic containers hurts my heart and paying for the tide in the cardboard hurts my pocketbook. I'm in Ms. Lori. Thanks for the tutorial.

Have you seen the laundry detergent that’s like a small sheet of paper. It desolves in the washing machine. I wonder if they clean good cause I too hate all the plastic

Thank you for the recipe for the laundry soap. I've been wanting the recipe and now I have it. Blessings to you and I love you and Mr Brown. You are an inspiration to so many of us.

Thank you , I can’t wait try this! I love listening to your videos. I appreciate so much that you share and just you being you. ❤️🙏

Thank you so much

Guys commercial laundry detergent is so bad for clothes. Like Ms. Lori said if you want to soften hard water and set the color in your new clothes then use white vinegar. If you need to get ink or markers out your clothes.. spray hair spray on the stain and rub it together until the ink bleeds almost out then wash. Fabric softener is not your friend especially on jeans it will eat holes in your clothes over time.. pay attention to your towels if you don't believe me. This soap is the best for clothes. Thank you Ms. Lori for sharing

Yes pray for those affected by Ian. Thank you Ms Lori on the video on making laundry detergent. Praying for your son's safety and all the others helping out in Florida and further up the east coast... South Carolina and so forth.

Making a ton of this for my family and girlfriends for Christmas! Thank you!

2things 1. The washing soda gets the stink out of things like- workout clothes when my son was in hs,played sports practice clothes really stunk!reg laundry( store bought wasnt getting the stink out, even with a 30-60 min soak, I started adding about 1/2 cup washing soda to the loads containing the guys clothing, Bingo! Stink gone!😊for thise with ohysicsl limitstions, you can grate the fels naptha or zote on a heavy duty mixer with a grster attachment, Ininky have use of my right hand/ arm. i had a stroke 25 years ago after the birth of my 3rd child. I git to figure out how to do every he woukd rip off the velcro style wraps!thing with 1 good arm/ hand, yep changing diapers, used disposable, I didnt want to stick baby with a pin.

Wonderful!

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for your tips on being frugal! I’m a school bus driver in Ohio. We do have year round pay, but in the summer it’s only our base pay. So this year I have a goal of trying to save enough money to get through the summer and be able to actually enjoy our summer. Love and prayers to you guys.

Oh bless you Katie! I was a school bus driver in Wa state for 8 years and almost 3 years here in Montana. Wa was best for pay, but here in Western Montana its lousy. The busses are family-owned and they are not employee-friendly! They keep our step-raises and I got 1 30-cent-per-day raise! When another driver discussed it, he said, "Donna, be happy. I've been here for 15 years and this is our first raise!" I've retired since then.

THANK YOU for sharing this. I could remember most of the ingredients, but I wasn't sure, and it has been several years, since I last made my own laundry soap.

We love you and Mr. Brown 🙏♥️♥️🙏💓💓

Miss Lori I love your show especially Papa's stories you remind me of my dad he is so funny he reminds me of my dad I love your kitchen though your kitchen is beautiful I live in PA I'm originally from New Jersey

We keep coming back because we LOVE both of you! I''m really interested in trying this laundry detergent , we go through so much here and the cost is just getting higher every few days it seems. You can teach an old woman new tricks! 😉
