Make it easier on yourself and use the food processor to grate your bar of soap, do several at a time, store in sandwich bags already grated and ready for when you want to make up a batch. Also buy a used bread machine and put the water and grated soap in on the dough cycle and that works very well then continue on. I do not dilute my mixture and just add half of the amount usually called for in my washers.. I paid five dollars for my bread machine I use just for making laundry soap. I have been making my own for many, many years. I am 82. Sue in Central Indiana

Omg thank you for this tip. It's old but it still works. I freaking cant wait to do this. 💖thank you

Just a tip, after I blend the dry soap into a powder I add a cpl tablespoons of borax then blend again while adding 2 cups of boiling water. It melts it and blends it into a cream so you can add that to the boiling water and it won't clump up.

This is a great video....I make mine with laundry bars I make myself, or with Zote or Fels if Im waiting on soap to cure. i just wanted to say, blenders are pretty cheap now. so please if you use a blender to make this, forget about using it for anything besides soaps. particles from the soaps you cant easily see can make you terribly ill. just grab another blender from walmart, target, amazon, even try Goodwill if you wanna be super budget mindful.🌹

I agree that this is a wonderful video. I too have shopped Goodwill et cetera for second hand stuff to save money, but you can also put the soap in the microwave. It crumbles very readily after nuking! I also make my own soap from scratch and love using my own laundry detergent. I have used Zote and Fels and hands down, Fels is better.

If you will not heat the grated Fels Naptha on the stove (only the water), THEN continue to heat the soap & water, it will dissolve much faster. Heating the grated soap makes it melt, causing it to clump, which takes longer to dissolve in the water. This way is SOOOO much better than making 10 gallons that you have to store (or give away). 😀👍

I love your recipe. I previously made 10 gallons of the DIY laundry detergent and it's so difficult for me to keep shaking a large container, because it separates. Your recipe is so much better. I wish I found you earlier. Thanks.

Cookie It’s very dilute. Washing with the weight of a osier clip worth of soap. Like plain water.

I make this in dry form and I add Purex fresh spring waters laundry enhancer to my recipe. I add 1/2 scoop oxyclean separate. Using the Purex crystals works quite well. Using the dry form, I take my tbsp full and I dissolve in a cup before adding to my washer. I do have the largest washer available, so I will use 2 tbsp on the big loads. The new washers are 3x's bigger then what they use to be and the lid locks as soon as the load starts. I use this recipe because it works the best of all the laundry detergents out there. This gets my clothes clean and I have to say I do love the Purex Spring fresh crystals. I've been washing my clothes this way for quite a while now and I wouldn't ever use anything else. I have 5 extra fels naphtha bars and 2 boxes each of the washing soda, the borax on hand and 2 big bottles of Purex laundry enhancer. It will be a while before I run out. I store mine in an ice cream pail covered with the cup on top.

I like the liquid formula best. I wash clothes in cold water and dry formulas don't dissolve all that great, so I love this! Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing with us. Another perk is your washer stays super clean with no build up. Commercial laundry soap is so bad for gunking up the machine. Love this, works marvelous!! The sauce is the Boss!🤵🏻😂

Looks like a good recipe

I think I'm going to try this. I used to use Gain laundry and softener but after making my own with washing soda, borax and soda I accidently put in some Gain softener in a load and broke out in a whole body rash and welts. Horrible, I itched from a Sun, Mon, Tues and Wed that night I went to bed and Thur am completely gone, not one itch. I has told a friend and I think she did some healing on me. This is an intense process but looks like it would be great to use.

So you can’t add oxy clean or say biz to the borax and washing soda mix and add it all to the fels on the stove for an extra whitening boost?? Just curious bcuz I’m a firm believer in my oxy clean or biz I use oxy clean one week then I’ll use biz the next I like to alternate between the two! I’ve done my laundry like this so long I can notice immediately when neither is used oxy clean and or biz is a game changer in keeping your clothes bright and your whites stay white like the day you bought them!!!! Especially on socks!! My husbands socks and clothes get really dirty in his line of work and I’m here to tell you doesn’t matter the stain or how dirty his socks get he can come home with socks that look like he’s been jumping in mudd puddles all day FYI he loves his job we own a construction company and also a painting company and he will a lot of times work in the rain in reason they get really dirty sometimes. and most would think these need to hit the trash no way these are coming clean!! Psst one wash no messy bleach just oxy or biz with my already homemade laundry powder and they come out of the wash like I just bought them sparkling whites and bright colors I wash his clothes separately so on his load of works clothes and socks I do add more than 2 table spoons like homemade powder calls for I use half a cup of homemade powder and half cup oxy or biz sometimes I get alittle extra and add oxy and biz making it a full cup of oxy biz mix when it’s really needed and I’m telling y’all once you really start adding oxy or biz to your laundry routine you will have to have it lol 😂 it’s an addiction I’ve seen many videos of people saying the off brand oxy works the same absolutely not tried it and the husband says did you change something in my laundry my clothes are starting to have a smell and my socks are starting to look slightly dirty 😂😂 so he caught me using the off brand from dollar tree!! Now the awesome orange oxy does work really good on my clothes and kids but it’s not for really dirty work clothing!! After a week or so of using oxy orange on work clothes you can slowly watch the socks become dingy and clothes start looking dull!!! And a musky smell will build up!!! I had to re wash all his work clothes but with one wash adding half cup of my homemade laundry powder and full cup of oxy biz mix all into the drum do not add all that powder mix to your tray throw in the bottom of the drum in cold or hot water both work fine you’ll see all the nasty that built up in just one week how crazy is that water was a dark brown and you could literally see the nasty film that had built up in just a week 🤮🤮 I had to use who can guess oxy clean 1 full cup and 1 full cup of pure baking soda mix and set my washer to clean mode FYI it also cleans your machine and Deodorized it it’s really a multi use product!!! Ever cleaned your toilet and tubs with the oxy and pure baking soda half and half making a full cup but make sure to mix it together and man does it do the job I sprinkle it in the toilet and tubs and sinks let sit 10 minutes then wipe tub an sinks down and swish the toilet with your toilet brush rinse and your bathroom will smell so fresh an clean and your tub an sinks and toilet will shine and if you have white sinks and tubs they will look brand new again!! I have so many different cleaning tips with just oxy and baking soda you’ll never need to buy cleaner all the time! Saves money as well don’t get me started in tile floors and your grout another tip use same mix but make a past for your grout and oh my Lort you will thank me later!! Okay I’m done preaching about the many uses of oxy or biz!!! 😂 and baking soda mix but I wanted to share bcuz it’s one hell of a cleaner I’ve yet to find anything close to how well that mix cleans and freshens your house!!! But just one more really important part of cleaning is your mattress you can’t wash them right?! Well tip for that sprinkle pure baking soda the one on the laundry isle all over all your striped beds meaning no bedding just mattresses this can be done on any style mattress!!! Sprinkle a good amount all over the mattress let sit for 35 minutes to an hour I recommend the full hour bcuz it’s gonna pull any Oder and dirt to the surface of your mattress so waiting the full hour is best take your vacuum then and use attachment and vacuum all the baking soda up along with dirt dust that has settled into the beds if your mattress is older it’s probably never been done and you’ll see the dirt, dust on the surface you will be shocked 😳 and alittle grossed out knowing you’ve been sleeping on top of that you may even smell a musky scent while vacuuming all the baking soda up it’s normal you just pulled all the Oder you never knew was there to the surface of your mattress don’t worry once all baking soda is completely vacuumed up your mattress will smell fresh afterwards!!! Baking soda on laundry isle is 2 bucks for a large box more bang for your buck I forgot to add when Deodorizing your mattress or mattresses go ahead and grab 2 boxes 4 bucks total for over 4 pounds of baking soda depending on size of your bed or beds king use enough to cover entire bed I use about 2 cups full!!! Make sure bed is lightly dusted all over even corners and edges you don’t wanna put a thick layer just enough to cover the bed you can sprinkle bed and rub the baking soda making sure entire bed is lightly dusted so if needed you can also repeat if an oder is still present after vacuum repeat as many times as necessary it will not discolor your mattress I do this to all the beds in the house at least every 3 months and I have a Serta 5,000 dollar Mattress had my new bed about 5 months and did this trick and I was surprised being it was still new that I had dust and dirt coming up that I couldn’t see on the bed but cleaning my vacuum afterwards that was pre cleaned before I started!!!! Yep as you can see I’m a clean freak 😂 but I can’t do nasty knowing your bed has dirt and dust and sometimes older beds will get that old smell that you don’t notice bcuz your nose has become blind to it even worse when you have a ceiling fan above just blowing it into your bedding even if you keep the fan clean there’s still particles in the air settling somewhere??! on your bed just like your dressers what do you wipe off the top of your vanity or dressers when you dust??! Same thing that’s down in your mattress happy cleaning hope my tips help!!!

The first time I heard of this stuff it was a lady whose son worked at a pizzeria and had all kinds of stains and grease because he also did all the prepping and had to deal with a lot of olive oil, tomato product and stuff so she would use this and said that her son's clothes came out clean and fresh smelling. His white apron always stayed White. You could at least use it one time and see how it compares to what you're already doing.

I have not bought detergent in nearly 10 years. We use only this recipe. My husband loves it because this doesn't make him itch like high-perfumed soap. As a variation, I also add 1 cup of powdered all-fabric bleach. I did this because my whites and light colors were getting dingy. Problem solved! I'm making detergent today. Haven't made it in 3 years and it's time to restock. I'll have about 35 jars for myself and always give some away. One day's worth of soap-making that lasts 3 years is quite the bargain!

There's a much easier way to do this without messing up so many dishes. You can make this in regular mouth mason jars and put the blender base on the mouth of the jar. Then put on the blender and turn on to mix like beast. I let the fels-naptha sit in the jars over night to melt first.

Regular mouth jars or wide mouth jars to use for blender??

Place the blender attachment on the small mouth jar & blend until smooth --- Voila! This eliminates the need for bowls, grater, etc. Here's a link with photos for simplifying this cleaning concoction (: www.keyingredient.com/recipes/904915108/super-laundry-sauce/

Same principle.... The method they used is longer wait... I'd rather boil it and get it over with! During Boiling, I can do something else.

Harmonious Vibe 5.5 oz for 125 loads is ridiculous. Think about it...

If making this to sell how much would you charge

Is it gentle on the clothes?

Can you substitute the borax or exclude the borax & if so will it still turn out the same ?

Renae Brown It’s just a water softener. She already added washing soda, which does the same thing. These DIYers really don’t understand what they’re doing. Their research consists of reading advertising slogans on the box.

Borax is a soap in the 70's we washed are grease hands with it. Most service stations had the dispenser on the wall and borax cleaned and softened your hands not like the harsh chemical crap today

dm8867 Nope. By soap you probably are trying to say it’s a surfactant. It’s not. It’s used as a water softener. Precipitates hard water mineral ions like Mg and Ca as borates. To confirm: Dissolve some in water. Add an oil. Shake. Note that the layers separate. The water layer will remain clear. Maybe you’re referring to something like Lava. IDK. I do know there’s a gel type hand cleaner that mechanics use. Still sold. Don’t know the name. You’re probably thinking of that. Maybe called Goop?

I don't have a detachable blender, I can make it in mason jar but after 4 hours I can transfer the whole mixture into blender?

Or you could use a stick blender in the bucket and pour cleanly back into the jars if you want jars.

Just skip the double pots. I agree nice recipe but patience is a virtue. and the original recipe is less hassle.

HELP I used zote because I was going to make the liquid soap until I saw your video. And now it won't dissolve in the wash machine. Could it be the zote.

I have never used zote, so that could very well be the problem. Did it leave a residue on your clothes? If so, I would soak in hot hot water. Crank the water heater up :)

It is for white or colored laundry ? Thank you ! 😘

You can use it for all colors and whites and mixed colors

can you use a bar of Castile soap instead of Zote or F Naptha?

I know it’s been 3 years since you’ve posted but I think it would be fine as long as you use at least 5 ounces as the Fels bar is 5 ounces

Does it stay blended. My soap recipe separates, which makes using it a pain in the butt.

Sabrina Suarez, It will not separate. At least mine hasn't. I make several batches in my efforts to cut down on constantly making anything. I am in the process of getting ready to make some more. I had some on the shelf that was at least 6 years old and never separated.

I love the Idea of this recipe because I live in a small apartment. I have a few questions. What size are your mason jars. Does it separate after a while. Is it good in apartment washers.

@Pritchardva

The mason jars are 1 quart and they are the regular sized mouth. After the detergent has sat for a while it will get a little bit of separation but all you have to do is stir it a bit and it is fine! It will work great in ANY washer!

the only thing I have ever used borax for is as a flux.

Can you take powdered detergent, heat it up and make this whipped creamy detergent?
