Making Homemade Laundry Detergent

I'm going to give this a try!

Another great tip, I am drafting a post that includes this video and your line drying video. I love them both!

why did she cover the name brands?

The DUST from the laundry soap is not good to breathe in. There is no lingering odor from the soap that remains in the clothes. As a matter of fact clothing washed in this laundry soap tend to have NO smell.

Much in the same way that you wouldn't want to breathe flour dust in (say if someone dropped a bag of flour on the floor and it puffed up in the air) and yet it is fine to eat flour. Some things just aren't meant to go directly into your lungs in particulate form.

u said laundry detergent isnt good to breath, and when u wash ur cloths in it the smell goes from ur cloths to u and u breath it in anyways.

This is really good for folks with allergies.

amazing! thanks for this wonderful tip!

Great job on your tutorial! Does it clean as good as tide? I find not all laundry soap clean the same.

i love the box u made! its so cute! it makes me want to do this! haha

i've also used ivory, and it worked really well...another great tutorial! love the idea of using the food processor...i broke out the box grater for mine lol...

This is neat and I'd love to give it a try! It really helps to see the visual too.

This is awesome!!

Pretty neat, I may give this a try. Especially since even at the dollar store Tide was close to ten bucks for a mid size bottle.

Some folks have asked what laundry soap I use in this recipe. I have used both Octagon and Fels Naptha. If you can't find laundry soap in your area, you might try at an international market. Sometimes they will carry it when the local grocery stores/big box stores don't.
