When I was younger and my mom was alive and she was a nurse. I used to hand wash her white uniforms with the bar of ivory snow. I would use the scrubbing board. (Scrub and plunge 😆) and then let her uniform soak for an hour. And then scrub and plunge again. And t en rinse well. Then hang out her uniform and when it was dry then iron her uniform. Her uniform was super white. And she always looked awesome. My mom taught me this bc she worked so hard. And I was able to help her. I am very thankful she taught me how to hand wash the clothes. And I really appreciate u showing this tessie. Bc ivory soap is very safe for all skin types. Mom always said. If it's good for babies. Then it's good for all. Thank u tessie for sharing with us. This recipe. I can't find ivory liquid soap. But I know we can get dreft soap. Which I think is very similar to the ivory snow detergent.

This is one I will definitely be trying out. I already have a 5 gal bucket to use. Just need the rest. I'll have to look for Ivory Snow. I love the Ivory soap bars and when the bars get down to a sliver I put them in my draws and slip them under my bed sheets for a nice fresh scent each night. Of course I can use any one of the laundry soap that we get though I will try the Ivory Snow as I like the sent. This is a great way to extend the use of laundry soap. I had also thought to take the ivory bars once they are down to a sliver and shred them and dissolve them in to a liquid soap to put into soap dispensers as well. That way I can have an amazing scented hand soap cheaper than buying the liquid soap all the time. I enjoyed watching this video a Homestead Tessie original not found any where else done with perfection and love. Homestead Tessie where friends are made. Love you my sister:)

[@HomesteadTessie]

Owen thank you !!! you are right Ivory soap I love the scent too !!! and this would be light scented for your mom ,it rinses so well ! and not so perfume ,I got your email !!

Borax has a warning sign in the Netherlands and not every store is selling it. Translated it would be something like 'Be careful when you're pregnant or willing to get pregnant'. Since I don't have the ambition to get pregnant, I can use :)

borax Is not needed so many different opinion on it ,I use the Laundry water to water my plants and they love it

[@HomesteadTessie]

thanks gene !

[@NanaMom104A]

Tessie, Many years ago I used to make laundry soap with fels Naptha by the 5 gallon buckets full and I did not like the scent at all so I added essential oils. I found that it was too strong for my liking and at the time I had 4 kids in school. I notice that it seemed to dull down the colors of their bright clothes. So when we bought a new top loader, we went back to store bought detergent. We are older now with one daughter who still lives with us, one son In college and another daughter who has a very troubled marriage and she and her 3 kids move in and out of our home friom once to twice a year. So with so many to do laundry for I am going to try your dry laundry soap and if that does not work for me I will try this one. Next I will try your softern sheets. Your such and inspiration to me. Love ya.

[@francesluther9518]

You can add oxyclean powder to it to whiten......works good

[@lisamiller5823]

I'm definitely going to try this "recipe". I have sensitive skin AND I like to save money while still having clean clothes of course. For the past few years, I have used baking soda [1/2- 1 cup] a splash of unscented laundry detergent & a few drops of essential oil to my wash load. It's inexpensive & works well, but it's tedious, and there is a lot of clutter with all those items being close at hand. I know I can tolerate Ivory Soap as I used to use it for showers/baths. [Made my skin too dry as I got older and had to switch]. Looking forward to trying this. One question I have is how much do you use per load? I usually have small to medium loads.

[@lisamiller5823]

Oh! And how long does it keep?

[@HomesteadTessie]

As far as having it keep I've never had it go bad or separate if it separates a little bit just shake it and it's fine , I use half of the bottle cap that comes with your commercial size laundry soap

[@jaykay7440]

This is a great way to stretch the budget I usually just add half water to the bottle of liquid detergent to make it go further. I like this idea better. Thanks. Also love the wreath on your door.

[@HomesteadTessie]

thank you so much !! the wreath was a hand me down and I love it !

I'm going to have to try this. I make my own laundry soap but not on a "large" scale and it doesn't have a nice scent. Looking forward to trying this! Thanks for sharing Tessie! ♥️

Love the lighter soap better, much more cleaner for our skin.

[@realnursealice1328]

Thanks Tessie. I make homemade laundry soap but always have problems with it either not gelling or over gelling. Never thought to add the borax and washing soda to the boiling water... none of the recipes I have said that so it just never occurred to me. I'm going to try that next time. So do you think that waiting a day and stirring hourly also helps keep it from separating? I'd love to repackage from the 5 gallon bucket but the time I did that the soap separated....maybe I didnt let it sit long enough. Anyhow, I enjoy your videos, you are always positive and authentic, you are someone I wish I knew personally because you are inspiring. Have you ever watched Tiny House Prepper? You should check them out... they're not too too far from you in Wilkes Barre PA.

I love this recipe. I used to make liquid detergent but my problem is storage. I wonder if I could make this using only dry ingredients. I make a dry recipe at the moment so it don't take up much space but I think I could do it with all Ivory soaps...Ivory bar soap & Ivory Snow flakes with the washing soda & borax. Hmmm...I feel an experiment coming on...LOL Thanks for the motivation! Love ya!

[@MegaTcullen]

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my homemade soap leaving white blotches on my darks. The only thing that is different from Tessie's laundry soap is I use a bar of sunlight soap. I shread it and put on the stove with water just like Tessie did. The soaps that you all use in the states I cant get in Canada. If I order it online the price is way to expensive. Does anyone have any ideas that could help me. Thanks

[@HomesteadTessie]

is it Liquid? If not melt it with some boling water a bit first ,sounds Like it is not disolving right

[@MegaTcullen]

Thanks Tessie. I will bring to a boil. I think you're right, it's not desolved enough. ❤

I'm very fragrance sensitive. To me zote and I forgot the other one, that is used for soap, both are very strong in order. You can really get any brand of soap that you want and use that for your recipe.
