Elly, I have been watching your videos off and on for several years. I always return for reminders when I make soap. Your approach is so sensible and real. I have actually been making soap since the 80s but they did not always work out. The information back then was sketchy. You make this craft approachable and available to everyone. I am truly grateful for all your efforts and your kindness, l feel the same way about your bread recipes and channel. You have gotten me into grinding my own flour and I love the results. Thank you again for all your time and effort!!! You Rock!

This video makes me so happy. I've been lurking in some soap making groups looking for tips on laundry soap but everyone wants to make the fancy stuff. I love the idea of doing 50% coconut oil. Also, the crinkle cut is appropriate because it looks like a washboard :D Thanks!

Thanks Elly. My only other foray into making laundry powder was from your original recipe where I grated up a batch of "failed" shower soap. I really liked it and my container is now empty. As yet I have not made another batch because I read some negative reviews on home made laundry powder that said it was not good for washing clothes and which made me feel unsure. However I am now going to disregard that and make up your new recipe instead of using up leftovers! Love your video 🌼

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Marion, you're welcome! I think it really does depend on the soap used. I've never had any issues with my machine using this kind of soap with the washing soda. I wouldn't use any soap with a high superfat. Lower is better.

[@carolbailey7977]

Hello Elly. I have watched all of your videos, And been making soap for the last year. in fact, you are the reason why I decided to try cold and hot process soap. I've been doing m & p for the past 10 years. I decided to make this the other day and I got a little impatient what's pouring the LYE (I know better..lol). My lye was around 176 and my oils were around 100. Needless to say, I got soap on a stick. So I went ahead and put it in my Crock-Pot and it went to the Vaseline stage pretty quickly. So, I just cut it and figured since it is safe to touch and so on I would shred it now and let it dry out that way. I'll let you know how it turns out once I blend it with the washing soda. Thank you so much for the recipe I appreciate you!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Sounds like you had an adventure there Carol! I'm sure it will be great. Thanks for your kind words :)

[@joa7302]

I’ve made my first batches of soap using your basic recipe. They are great, I do everything with them: shower, wash the dishes, mop the floors… but I was thinking of making a “more cleansing” batch just for around the house. I wasn’t sure how much more coconut oil to use though… finding that “right balance” between a cleansing but skin drying soap and a “too” gentle but skin loving soap … so Perfect Timing Elly!!

Hi Elly, it’s so nice to see you again, and congratulations on your wonderful website. Thanks for the great laundry/cleaning soap recipe!

I thought it was to bring out the colours better but since there’s no colour in your soap I’m wondering what the function of the gel phase does exactly. Thank you!

Hi Maureen, there are a few reasons, but mainly that it makes a better quality soap that sets harder and doesn't go as soggy when it's in use (you can read more about it here, www.ellyseveryday.com/soap-making-terms but experiments have shown that gelled soaps absorb less water when they are wet, so they last longer.

[@lunellevanniekerk2987]

How do you know that it is completely saponified and that it’s safe to handle like that? I always thought that the 4-6 weeks curing of cold process soap making is for the saponification process to finish. It’s for this reason that I have opted for hot process soap making because i’m impatient like that. Also I only work with coconut oil and olive oil because it’s readily available here in South Africa. And for the longest time I’ve been doing a 50:50 coconut oil to olive for a bathing soap. From this video I learnt that I’ve been creating laundry soap all this time and washing my body with it 😂 Jokes aside. If I am to stick to these two oils. What would be a better split to create a less stripping bar of soap for bathing? Your videos are most helpful. Thank you very much! 🇿🇦

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi, the saponification is usually complete within a day or two for CP soaps, I always test them to make sure (like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXOzaGNubqukhas) You can increase the superfat to make your 50% coconut oil soap a bit less drying, or reduce it to 20 or 30%. You might like this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vFcpmdrKqegNU

[@lunellevanniekerk2987]

Thank you for responding Elly. After watching your 100% coconut oil soap video earlier this week I actually made a batch and they came out beautifully 🙌🏽 I didn’t know that one can superfat to 25%. The most I have gone is 5%. I actually made a batch of soap today (HP). 70% olive oil and 30% coconut oil.Water as percentage = 33%. The soap came out to soft to my liking; I know it’ll harden up over the next few weeks but I think I’ll try 60% olive oil next time. I watched the video re ph of soap. The ones I have work like the strips used to test urine (couldn’t think of another way to describe them). So they work well when testing ph of liquid soap but not for bar soap. Will see where I can order strips like the ones you use. Take care 👋🏽🇿🇦

I’ve also made a smaller batch of 100% coconut oil laundry soap blocks for grating using Amanda Aaron’s recipe. Now I will try your recipe and be able to see how they all work for me.

I’m allergic to eucalyptus. What would be a good substitute?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You could just leave it out, or sub with any other EO that you can use with your skin.

❤ Love your channel. Thank you for sharing and teaching us so many wonderful soapy things. Just one question Elly. Can I use Thursday Plantation Eucalyptus Oil? Or does it need to be specifically called an essential oil? Kind thanks. Sandra in NZ.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi Sandra, yes Thursday Plantation eucalyptus oil would be perfect to use! It's the same as an essential oil (just make sure it's pure 100% oil not the one with alcohol mixed in).

After I watched a couple of your soap making videos, I finally tried to make it yesterday by my own recipe which was excited. I was so confident to do that even if it was my first time because I studied it from your excellent videos. Thank you. One thing I am not clear is about water. Do you use rain water all the time? Water where I live is hard, 270 ppm. I used distilled water this time but I would like to use tap water. Any tip?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

I would use distilled water if my tap water was very hard. Rain water is nice and soft if you can get that too.

[@Mystichandworks]

I love this recipe, your videos, and your scientific approach. I was under the assumption (possibly wrong assumption) that we need to use a low suds soap in the laundry machine. If I'm correct, how do you adjust for that? Thank you in advance.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Handmade soap won't suds up much in a washing machine, that advice refers more to synthetic detergents I think, which can be very foamy! I don't get an obvious bubbles in my machine when I use this soap.

[@Mystichandworks]

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you for your quick reply. That makes sense, then.

[@coyotedreams3902]

Great video! Would you put this in the washing machine??? I've made machine washer soap before but there were a few more steps.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes, this is what I make from this soap for clothes washing kzbin.info/www/bejne/apXYl41tmsukmLM

[@sherirae]

Thank you for this recipe. As T use bar soap for my dishes, would I be able to use this soap!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Yes, this one works well!

[@mmutaebelechukwu624]

Good day Elly, why did you add eucalyptus oil to your laundary soap, is not a waste of the oil? Does it add to cleansing properties of the soap?

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

It has a nice smell :)

[@mmutaebelechukwu624]

@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thanks for your reply. I use it in my body balm production because of its soothing effect very nice . Thanks so much for your informative videos, I so much love all of them.

[@rrutaba]

Hi. Elly hope u r doing good 😊. Is there any substitute to Rice Bran Oil plz? Actually this oil is commonly used in making soaps but unfortunately it’s not available in my place. Thank u ☺️ 🙏

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You would need to calculate a new recipe to be sure, but I think olive oil is very similar to rice bran oil.

[@ferryntsjin]

hi elly, best recipe and easy..by the way the rice bran can i change with an canola oil?because i have a lot of canola oil☺️thank you before🙏🏼
