The zote bar soap does not dissolve in the washing machine, the powder might work better.

[@ShadeIsLikely]

I am also an appliance repairman and I do not recommend using this in new HE machines. In fact, I don't recommend using any powder detergent in these machines. They simply do not use enough water to thoroughly dissolve or rinse away this type of detergent. Half of the problems I encounter in repairing HE machines is due to the type and quantity of detergent used. But, if you are determined to use powder detergent, use it sparingly and always do an extra rinse. I know these homemade detergents are popular with some people because they are inexpensive to make. But, I promise if you screw up your machine by using too much the cost of repair will negate any cost savings from make-your-own detergent. 🤔

[@pampicone2580]

I used white Zote instead of fels naptha because it has a whitener and I wanted to omit the oxygen cleaner. I have delicate clothes. If I need whites cleaned whiter, then I add the oxygen cleaner to the load. Also, I omitted the fragrance pellets because my kitty cats do not like scents on their blankets and toys. So if I want fragrance I add the fragrance pellets to the load. This way every load is custom made. I love Jillee's recipe, and that it can be tailored to everyone's needs.... And her bag mixing technique is brilliant!

[@byjillee]

+pam picone thanks for sharing your experience with the Zote! Glad to hear you're loving it.

[@khione8044]

Zote is also way more "Natural" than Fels Naptha (which has way too many harmful chemicals and skin irritants in it. Including Triclocarban which the FDA has admitted to being linked to causing many health issues, especially in newborns. As well as Talc, which has been linked to causing many cancers). After looking at the Ingredients list of Fels Naptha (and having to hunt down what each ingredient does), makes me nervous to ever use it. If you also want a more Natural Fabric Softener, without any fragrance, use Vinegar in the rinse cycle. It is a Natural Fabric Softener, and a Natural Deodorizer as well. (No, your clothes will not smell like vinegar after being washed either)

[@MistyHaven]

Does the Zote work ok with darks too even though it has a whitener? Thank you for the tip!

[@nopalitoguerro5]

Asbestos is a name for a few different minerals that are mined for commercial applications in a range of industries. It is a known carcinogen, and while not illegal in the US, its use has declined significantly since studies first began to find risks in the 1970s.☣ DOES THIS SCAR ANYONE ELSE? WHY IS TALC IN SOAP?

[@CarmindyOnline]

One thing to mention since the filming of this video as the company who makes the Borax SIGNIFICANTLY lowered the "standard box size" that you are using. It's MUCH smaller now thus requiring an extra box to get the correct ratio you are using here now in 2016. I noticed that just a few weeks ago when I went to make my laundry soap. :( I hate when companies do that!!

I am definitely going to make this as a backup because my girlfriend is absolutely stubborn about this kind of stuff but she would use anything if we run out. I will also wash my personal clothes with this exclusively if I like it. So I can't see this much lasting a year but I'll give it a try

[@solanrose1721]

Tried this recipe today. Ok my review is mixed. I live in NYC and we do laundry in a laundromat every 4weeks. 2Kids, plenty stains. So the two 2table spoon works well in the double loader machine with Pretreat stains and use Clorox for colors, use way less than recommended amount . In the triple loader if the clothes are heavily soiled I suggest you use a liquid detergent with oxyclean power fill to the o line for all brand and 2-3 table spoon in the pre wash and 2-3 tbs in wash compartment. For the BIG LOAD holds 6 baskets full of clothes. I use 2 table spoon in the pre wash and 3-4 in the wash compartment.I Use a stain remove on some items directly and a minute among of Clorox ultra bleach for colors like 1tbs full. Pro: because I use the Clorox for colors In my clothes the clothes are very bright. The smell is amazing. Makes no suds for an he machine. Con: does not do a good job on whites even with the use of chlorine bleach. It left the black rim on the shirts collar and cuff which does not happen even when I use the cheapest detergent. For people who like suds this is a bit getting used to. Not really good on dirt on the knees. I suggest using your favorite liquid detergent the smallest amount or 1tsp of dawn2x. Or rub in fels naptha on wet clothing for stain removal. Don't use the whole box of baking soda if your water is not that hard. I used the whole box and so the detergent is not that concentrated. Mistakes: I used the 4lbs box of baking soda, I used 2 zote bars, 1purex scents crystals, 3 x 1lbs oxyclean from the dollar stores ( along with a 3lbs box of the real oxy clean versatile stain remover $9) Corrections: next time use 3bars of zote and half the baking soda. Thanks so much for this recipe it only cost me $35 for the whole recipe with an extra bar for pretreatment.

[@folksonomy6152]

Fels Naptha and Zote have the same cleaning ingredients but I prefer Fels Naptha. You dont need to add Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate) and OxiClean they are the same thing. Oxiclean (Sodium Percarbonate) is better since it contains powdered form of Hydrogen Peroxide which is also marketed as color safe bleach.

[@robpachecoranches]

[@jenthulhu]

No, they are NOT the same thing. Sodium Percarbonate breaks down when in contact with water to form Hydrogen Peroxide. If you don't know anything about chemistry, don't make proclamations like this. It's dangerous.

Jennifer Wells I agree with your point; they’re not the same. But how is it dangerous? If someone leaves out the washing soda, their grass stains might not come out? That kind of danger?

U can make twice as much by making it in liquid form, hot water combines the ingredients, and you can stretch it by filling gallon jugs with half solution and water! Most people waste detergent by putting several scoops in one load, when the wash rinse cycle will do most of the work!

[@karenpierce6424]

You can; however, you can not add the peroxide bleach to it, and will need to add that separately if you want to. The dry peroxide bleach only works for a short period of time after it is wet and then becomes neutral.

[@Malevelous]

I found a stainless steel Coffee Scoop at Walmart(2 Tbsp) that's perfect to keep inside the container of detergent. I also split the big batch into two glass containers so I could make two different scents. Mine never lasts me a year because someone always wants to try it at home. For this price I don't mind sharing. :)

[@MichelleAndHerCurls]

smart idea to make two different scents! i get bored with one smell too. :)

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I buy 5 or 6 of the coffee scoops every time I see them. Such any little things. :-)

I also do not add my scent booster to the batch. I keep it separate so that my mom can use the soap and not have a allergic reaction. I just add a little downy to my personal loads. (Mom lives with us)

After looking at a few recipes, I’m making my own detergent today. But my simpler recipe will just use Dr. Bronner’s castille Bar soap, borax, A&H washing soap, baking soda, and Mrs. Meyers laundry boosters for fragrance. I’m mostly doing it bc #1 it’s all-natural (you know what I mean), #2 it’s economical, and #3 I hate using all the big plastic containers that my usual liquid laundry detergent comes in. Over time, I’ll see how well it works. If it doesn’t, I’ll try simple castille liquid soap as recommended in these comments.

There are many variations of this online. I simply use borax, baking or washing soda, and the bar soap. Add 1/4-1/2 cup white vinegar to fabric softener dispenser or to final rinse. Works great for me and many others. Vinegar removes odors, residue, and softens fabric amazingly well. Smell goes away when dry.

I'm 64 and consider myself strong for my age but it was too much. With the liquid I simmer the soap on the stove til it's melted and stir 5 gallons of ingredients with my husbands paint stirrer with a cordless drill. It's very Zen stirring the liquid. This recipe was aggravating and strenuous.
