You can actually skip the bar soap because bar soap needs friction that’s why it’s a stain remover. Many have ditched the bar soap because it’s really not meant to wash your clothing in it more of stain remover bar soap causes soap scum and unlike you using gain lots only do the soap with out gain and that’s why lots complain clothing gets dingy and grayish. I 100% agree an the gain. Try ditching the bars of soap and here is the recipe 1 box gain 1 box super washing soda 1 box Borax 1 box baking soda 1 box oxi clean Purex scented beads Mix well and store in container you can double this so you won’t have to keep making. Last a really long time. And your not dealing with bar soap cutting and so on. I have had all my friends do this and they love it.

I do my own laundry soap for more then 3 years now. Last batch I did in November 2018 and I just finished it beginning of 2021. I grate my soap while watching TV in the evening. My new batch I did last week. For drying I use 100% wool dryer balls. Clothes come out nice and soft so I also safe money on fabric softener and dryer sheets

Just made a batch up. So excited!

I have heard many people saying the Zote soap leaves a film on your clothes. I noticed it myself, now I make it similar to this but I don't use the Zote. There are so many variations! I cannot understand why those scent booster beads are so expensive. I just throw in a bottle I get at the dollar store for $1

This is awesome! Definitely going to try it!

Seems like one scoop would do very well for most soiled loads since you have alot of detergent power in it. Gain does smell good. I would use thre gain scents crystals and leave out the other scents. Great job.

You need detergent in a machine! Soap 🧼 is made from fat and oil - your whites are going to get dingy , your towels won't absorb water anymore. You're basically clogging your clothes with fat! Unless you're hand washing in the tub , in the machine you need detergent, add dish soap! You can void the warranty on your washer too, it'll clog. This worked years ago because people HAND WASHED ✋️, detergent in the machine, soap 🧼 for hand washing clothes! (*Also, put that in a blender to mix it up) you're not "really" getting frugal when you're adding all the scents, etc. We use these words interchangeably but you need to know the difference between soap and detergent, don't put that in a machine
