Homemade Laundry Detergent Powder | Save Money 🤑

[@Unifer55]

I hate hate hate shredding soap, it takes a lot of time and energy, I didn’t know that I can use a liquid soap together with a dry ingredients, amazing ❤

[@farmtroverts]

Right!? Same. The liquid soap is a gamechanger!

[@Mookiemonique]

Vinegar is also a natural fabric softener. Just add it to the softener slot on washer. Clothes will not smell like vinegar. Been doing this for bout a year now n I have an HE washer 😊. Nice video! Never thought of using liquid Castile. I hate shredding soap too but it helps to get rid of the scrap pieces from soap I’ve made ❤

[@farmtroverts]

Yes! I love adding vinegar to the softener slot. Shredding soap is a nice way to use up those scraps but I still can't bring myself to do it, lol.

That laundry detergent is amazing ❤

[@farmtroverts]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it!

[@lindavasa7519]

I have made my own before too. It was years ago and now I have an HE washer and I’m wondering if you can use this homemade version in that washer.

[@Mookiemonique]

You can. I do

[@A.l.l16]

[@bakershire]

Thank you for making a video about this. I appreciate it!! I will be going out and getting some ingredients asap!

[@farmtroverts]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@seleenakauffman7953]

Question for ya, are you able to convert this dry detergent to a liquid for cold wash? I really like your recipe!!!

[@annazawadzka6688]

You need to addd water in. I think not boilng but heated to around 40 C. There are similar recepies i've seen.

[@lenniemeadows7253]

If I did this recipe with bar soap instead how much would I use? Love the video can’t wait to make my first batch.

[@Unifer55]

Just one bar of soap

[@katiemorgan8826]

I have been doing this for a year and LOVE IT!!

[@farmtroverts]

That's good to hear!

[@Jennyw5190]

If washing soda & baking soda are the same why do you need both?

[@farmtroverts]

They are made from the same thing but the baking soda changes when you heat it and becomes different. You could get away with just using one or the other, but both is better:)

[@duncangonutz7286]

does the liquid soap make it clumpy?

[@farmtroverts]

It depends on how well you mix it. If you mix it well, it can be evenly distributed.

[@CraftyandChic]

Can you share where you shop at? Just curious 😊

[@farmtroverts]

Food Lion is our local grocery store.

[@AFarrell]

I purchased all at Walmart and also on Amazon.

[@ChrisJericho-yf4db]

Seems like a lot added.i saw a video that only added 1 cup of each not 4 cups and she made a ton.

[@tamzenkarma]

Thank you for this Everyone needs to stop buying all the crap...

[@farmtroverts]

We do like a good natural alternative:)

[@mirib5007]

One T per load? Hard to believe!

[@farmtroverts]

It works for us, but feel free to add more if you need to!

Please don’t quit your day job. You’re no chemist. From the garbled discussion of bicarbonate and carbonate it’s possible to conclude that sleeping through chemistry class did not deter you from posting a video to show how much you learned.

[@farmtroverts]

If you can explain it better, by all means, feel free! I'm sure everyone would love to read your detailed explanation:)

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

@ When two equivalents of sodium bicarbonate are heated and decompose thermally, they yield one equivalent each of carbon dioxide, water and sodium carbonate. This process, called calcining, is how washing soda is produced commercially from sodium bicarbonate.

[@farmtroverts]

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt Great. Appreciate your contribution!
