For those of you who don't have a blender or simply don't want to use it for laundry detergent, you can cut the bar of soap into squares as he did and microwave them. Put them on for 2 minutes and if they need additional heating, go up in 30 second increments. The soap will puff up like a fluffy marshmallow. Allow it to cool for 30 mins and then you can just squeeze it into a powder with your hands. It will be that fine consistency that most are looking for. A ziploc bag helps the crushing but it's not necessary.

[@anatess07]

OMG, I fell off my chair when you ditched the drill for the garbage bags... LOL!!! You rock, my hillbilly man.

[@zenobiawells6054]

Love your accent and your sayings! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks!!

thats cool, ill need to bring my laundry to your house and we'll see how many loads for sure. lol

The mixer would have worked fine if you would have mixed as you poured.

[@jacirogers9109]

Good job telling how many loads per including the different ones for high efficiency. I have been doing this for a year and a half or two years. We got a new washer, which may be high efficiency. I’m going to try using less. I’ve been using 2 tablespoons, or 3 for really grimy stuff. No sense not checking it out! Thank you.

[@mariawright8197]

Best video ever. Love this.

Ivory soap works great too with that recipe.

Plain old Ivory soap ? Good call.

[@connieroberts595]

I have seen them use one bar of pink Zote soap instead of three fels napth they say the Zote has a natural brightener. I have personally never used it. I know fels naptha is a good stain remover.

[@maggieb5326]

Sunlight bar soap would be great too. Wonder if mix would go rancid before it is all used. Keep the bucket in a cool space like the basement and bring up smaller amounts especially in hot weather.

[@goose7574]

Awesome idea to use the blender and mix in the oxy-powder. You could do that with Zote instead of shredding it. I hate grating! I think it takes me back to having to grate cheese as a child! Haha!!!

[@carolynjohnson8937]

You can buy zote flakes at dollar tree does the same thing!

I just subbed your channel. I've made the liquid washing soap, next I'll be making the dry. Great video. Loved the stir tool. 👍😎

try mixing into a big tote, mix with hands, its quicker for me

[@debadams5602]

Amazing!!!Thank you!!

[@eva-anncollins1788]

I'm from South Africa and I would like to make my own washing powder but can you give a substitute for some of the products that we don't have.We have borax ,baking soda ,fabric softener but maybe we have a different name for some products.

[@minthillbilly]

I would look for any type of bar type laundry soap in your local store. May have different brand names in your country.

[@warningeagle8558]

Don’t the jar top need to have a tight seal around the rim too keep the air out?

[@darlenejustason4395]

I make homemade soap and don’t use that much borax,arm & hammer and Oxclean but mine is liquid

[@patricedixon2634]

Yes, the liquid version is economical and products will last longer as you only need to use cups of items preferred.

[@ladybugjenkins3229]

I wonder if you can just dump it in the 5 gallon bucket, seal it with one of the lids they sell with it and mix it in there?

[@mytrades3241]

Measurements needed

[@melissahoney8317]

Most the people you seen all from the United States just like you you can come in different sizes at different stalls

I like it it warks good i love it

[@githugathonikianjellakinya8110]

thanks love the accent going to make my own

[@ellier.537]

Love it. I plan on making this, according to your directions. I am skeptical about the teensy amount for each load, though. Would I need to use more for a large/really dirty load? Muddy kid clothes and such. Also? Is there bleach or a sister chemical in the awesome orange? I'm allergic to bleach. Thank you for the video, it was informative and helpful.

[@helenlitton3533]

It's chlorine free.

[@j_bubblez279]

you really do only need 1/3 cup MAX

[@stevenlovelace3158]

I son in another video where hey used 2 tablespoons in high efficiency machines. How would one tablespoon be enough in any washer? Just wondering.

Awesome!!!

[@Aureliz]

Hi, are all these products safe for an HE machine ?

[@Paryswilliams1978]

[@jazziered142]

I figured it out to be about a little less than $0.04 a load for the high efficiency.

Good video!! I also make my detergent as well!!! I used the whole box of baking soda whereas you did 2cups! So I'm due to make some now and I'm gonna try just using 2cups of baking soda. Do u mind telling me what made u use only 2 cups and would it make a difference? Thanks for sharing?😉

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

TiffanysTouch Baking soda isn’t another water softener. It doesn’t react fast enough with hard water contaminants-as do washing soda and borax-to be effective. He uses an xs of borax and washing soda. Baking soda, as used here, is just a filler and should be omitted. Oxyclean is mostly washing soda. You don’t need nearly as much of these powders as he uses, given the amount of soap involved. His recipe just dilutes the concentration of soap per dose, reducing cleaning effectiveness.

[@onjonb8142]

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt thanks I'm thinking about making my own detergent for the first time and I was thinking the same thing with some of these videos..don't get me wrong; I appreciate the information being shared but want a more concentrated product in the end . It seems like they're just stretching the product. Can you help me with a more concentrated version? Thanks in advance!

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt Thank you for posting this link. I wish everybody would take time to read it. I made a 5-gallon bucket full of this homemade stuff. After just 2-3 loads of laundry, I poured it all out. This article explained to me why it DID NOT WORK! I went back to my store-bought "detergent" and I add a little washing soda to each load. And I don't even have to use fabric softener any more. This homemade stuff may be "cheap"......but they'll get what they pay for....smh 😉

Was that all you made was 264 loads somehow that don't seem white right. I do t k ow if I'm not understanding right but I thought this was suppose to do clothes for a year. 264 loads don't seem like much at 2 tbs owe load I guess you could use so zoat soap instead of the nappa couldn't you. And could you tell us how much money when use 2 tbs owe load ty

Yes you can use Zote soap! I made my own as well... I have a video for it and I used Zote soap flakes.. I was not abt to grate no soap

Do you know what the benefit of Borax is and if it's harmful as some say? Also, if you make your own, do you add 3 oxygen boosters? The other videos only used one. I'm getting exhausted trying to find the best recipe.

Who's up for borax drinking competition?

[@maggieb5326]

Not a good plan. Borax is safe in small quantities but would be toxic in larger quantities.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

This is not a detergent. The only surfactant is bar soap. Detergents and soaps are different chemically. Why two different water softeners? Don’t know? Didn’t think you did... No chemicals? All natural? Oh my, oh my. Everything there’s a chemical, including dreaded industrial chemicals. Oxyclean is full of hydrogen peroxide...a powerful oxidant for rocket fuel. Oxyclean decomposes in the presence of moisture. That’s why it’s sold in a sealed plastic container. It’s supposed to be kept dry and added to the wash separately. Depending on how long it’s stored in any open container and the humidity, you could end up with no bleaching ability. $$$ wasted!!!

[@minthillbilly]

Thank you for your information. The soap as you call it works great. We have been using it months now with no problems. Have a great day!

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

Well I guess this stuff open the way so that soap can do its job? In a nutshell it works and works well despite all the hi failutent chemical dispositions.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Jason Smith Not sure what you’re referring to. Possibly related to recommendation to avoid exposing Oxyclean to moisture before use? My point was that soaps and detergents are different. The former have a tendency to form deposits in hard water, which complicates getting fabrics clean. These are facts, not opinions. Avoidance of chemicals if often cited as a reason for DIY laundry soaps. Penny pinching is another. Distrust of science and dislike of big corporations are important to others, something I think of as an expression of anger at the world. Your comment suggests you’re not someone who places much value on education or on moving beyond your limited level of understanding.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]
