EASY affordable LAUNDRY detergent / using ZOTE bar soap

[@sunkissed4261]

Thanks, I just bought my first bar of Zote soap. I shredded a little from the bar. I placed a few pieces in the bathtub w/hot water. Used a sponge to clean the bathroom sinks and faucet. They shined like they were brand new. Then scrubbed the bathtub. I couldn't believe how well this product worked. I also used this product on white socks. I've tried to get our socks white again. I've used bleach, oxyclean etc. Nothing worked until I used this. Next I'll make a batch of laundry detergent. Thanks for your recipe. I'm one happy mama.😊

That’s awesome! So glad this could help. And we’ve never thought about using a Zote bar as household cleaner so, thank you too 🙂

Walmart sometimes has it already shredded. My local grocery sells it for less than $3.

@@yurikamisumaru9322 awesome! Now don’t quote me on this but the shredded stuff at our Walmart has extra chemicals added (I think). Just something to check. Thanks so much for the input! 😀.

I'm actually doing this today too. Bought the stuff begining of the week. I went and bought Castile soap(4 bars $5) Arm and Hammer washing SODA (1 box $6), Borax(1 box $6) and a 5 gallon food grade bucket with screw lid ($17). 1 1/2 bars(6oz) grated Castile soap melt in 2 cups hot water on stove..fill 5 gallon bucket half-way with HOT(not boiling) water..add 1 cup washing soda and 1 cup borax..mix well..add in melted soap that you heated..stir well.. fill bucket to 5 gallon capacity. 1/2 c - 3/4 c per load..

Is the white bar of zote soap just for whites? Or can you wash your colors with it too?

[@maxhotdog2926]

Thanks for the question! Yes, we wash any color

[@mellosings6180]

Can you add Borax or Washing soda while hot?

[@wonderlady1422]

Can you use this in he machines? One video I seen said it stops up the pump.

@@wonderlady1422 thanks for watching and leaving feedback! Good question, I’d never heard of that and it’s worth researching. Thankfully we’d never had problems with ours. Good luck 👍

I think you tried to say for a half of the Zote bar, only 2 1/2 LITERS ....is that what you meant? I grew up w/Mom using Zote soap. It sure is good stuff. Thanks for sharing!!! 👍

[@maxhotdog2926]

It really is 2 1/2 ‘gallons’ not liters that we used. This recipe we found somewhere else on KZbin. Thanks for commenting though! Have a awesome day

[@madebyhand727]
