Frugal Luxuries - Under $2 Homespun Dish/Laundry Soap/How to make laundry soap-Cottagecore

[@tamimercer476]

Hi everyone I am almost out of soap, I need to make a couple 5 gallon buckets this weekend.

This is my favorite !

Hi tami mercer:)

[@susans9491]

This looks great! If I can find the washing soda, I’m in! Thank you so much for this video, others I’ve seen have a whole bunch of ingredients - I prefer simplicity where possible!

[@susans9491]

@@anns8893 Thank you! Our WalMarts have had a lot of bare spots on their shelves, we’re out in the sticks and from what I gather, the more populated areas are getting their shelves filled before we get the crumbs.

All the time!

[@juliewebber2749]

I do!

[@kesmarn]

Tessie, I just checked Amazon, and even one of their least expensive laundry soaps costs about $10/gallon. So you just made almost $50 in the time it took to put a few ingredients together -- plus, you were able to get the content to make a really helpful teaching video too! Win-win-win. When you throw in the fact that you can use this for dishes, cleaning and even use your leftover wash water to water your plants, it sure is a frugal luxury without a doubt. Your sweet granddaughter is learning so many valuable skills from you. If she decides to get married down the road, her family is going to be incredibly blessed with a wife and mom who will bring amazing talents and abilities into their happy home. In the coming years, I have a feeling that will be more essential than it has been in a long, long time! Bless you for being such a good teacher.

Thank you for sharing these recipes! I have a homemade dishwasher soap recipe that I love: 2 cups borax, 2 cups washing soda and 4 packets of the unsweetened lemon lime flavor kool-aid drink mix. Mix it up. To use, just fill the cups in your dishwasher and run as normal. It works great and is so much cheaper than buying Cascade.

[@HomesteadTessie]

Does it leave water spots and does it cut grease?

[@jaynelymer6442]

I only started making my own laundry powder last year but I think it's much cheaper and better than commercially made and it's very satisfying to think you can make it yourself, the commercial manufacturers try to make out they're the owners of some secret knowledge that we have to pay through the nose for !!! I haven't done a liquid version yet though but will try it. Your garden is looking very lovely and full of produce plenty of grapes there Tessie, grape jelly soon ??? Yummy.

Well thank you for answering my question about the borax before I asked it. I had found a recipe that included the borax, The washing soda, And dawn dish soap. So I'm thinking about leaving out the borax and just using the other 2 ingredients brilliant that should be safe if I ever have to use it for watering plants.
