Absolutely!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what measurements you would use with concentrate. I've never made it that way before.

Very much like the method I use when camping.

Quite welcome. Obviously the water content is up to your discretion. Patiently waiting nicer weather.

Yes. You could use both of those if you like.

The two bar soaps that I use that are commercially available have coconut in them. I would find a local soap maker and work with them to get a bar that you can use. It's been years since I've made my own bars but I didn't use any coconut products when I did. Alternatively, you can research a bit and make your own bars. It's not a hard process. Just one that requires mindfulness because of the lye. Cold process soap needs time to cure. But hot process can be used right away. It doesn't have a long shelf life like cold process soap does. So very few people make it to sell. But I sold it. The shelf life is suitable for those who use their soap. Just not for those who want it to sit pretty in their bathroom. It would work well for your purposes.

I believe the issue with handmade laundry powder hurting machines relates to new machines. Not sure what the details are. I've never had trouble either. And, yes, I leave my lid open too. The machine needs to air out. Thanks for sharing!

@@sustainableslowliving I apologize. I should have made it clearer. I'm saying I've used home made laundry soap a large part of the nearly 10 years I've had this machine. That tells me it hasn't hurt it. 😊It has stood the test of time. 😁👕👖🧦🩲🩴👚🧦🧤

@@patwagner9308 Thank you for clarifying. I did understand though. Maybe I was unclear. I hear people have problems with their machines. I often wonder why that is the buzz. I don't have any personal experience with it because I prefer old machines. So I've always had one. I appreciate hearing your experience. I suspect there are many who have had the same. And if they all spoke up it would drown out the negative reports. It could be that the negative reports are more closely related to the decline in production quality over the years. I think it is more likely to have trouble with machines in general. And it gets blamed on the homemade detergent.

@@sustainableslowliving nodding as I read your reply. Yes, I think you're onto something here. Such a thoughtful reply...I appreciate that. So nice of you. Have you ever watched Patric Richardson, the Laundry Evangelist? He's quite the guy. Seems to really know laundry. I have done laundry for the 54 yrs I've been married...but Patric taught me some things that have made a difference. He wrote a book, too.. Laundry Love. 📘

So welcome! Enjoy!

You could pour boiling water over it before you use it to dissolve any lumps. For me, that would be a hassle. But if it doesn't bother you to do it, it's a good solution. I'm pretty sure the measurements are in the video. I made it so long ago that I don't remember. But the recipe is in the blog post on my website. Here's the link: sustainableslowliving.com/simple-diy-laundry-powder/

Homemade is pretty much always better. And when you do find a healthy store bought version the price is usually crazy.

So very welcome!

I used canned chicken for this recipe. But boiled and shredded would be much healthier.

I'm so glad that this helped you travel back in time a little. It's really nice to hear that my little video was able to do that for someone. Thanks for sharing!

Of course! The rounds are about 6" across.

You are so very welcome!

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. I don't have a laundry soap recipe. But I do have a laundry powder recipe. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/CRGkFi3DIfs/v-deo.html

So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

I use regular iodized table salt. It is very inexpensive. And while I prefer not to cook with it, it is great for this recipe.

Kirk's is an excellent choice.

Good to know!

Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome 😊

The recipe is in the video.

It's a great help in the kitchen too! ENJOY!

I hope it works well for you!

You're very welcome!

Thanks so much! It's just regular mod podge.

So very welcome!

This cannot be used in the dishwasher. And, unfortunately, I don't have a video for a dishwasher detergent.

Unfortunately, I've never been abroad. So, I haven't eaten in Levenworth. Thanks for the tips. I'll give them a try. There is a large German population here. I'm not sure when or where the preparations for the dish changed. But there is definitely no flour and they are fried in a lot of oil. Here they are greasy. They are often made at fairs where they are actually prepared in a deep fryer.

I'm going to have to look into true lemon powder. That's a very interesting solution. Thank you!

About 1/4 cup should do it. Maybe start with a little less and add more if you think you need it.

@@sustainableslowliving thank you

@@MarcoTheMystic Quite welcome!

So welcome!

OMGoodness - Thank you for this!

I'm not sure that vinegar would work well alone. It's worth a try if you care to give it a shot. And, unfortunately, this soap would not work in a dispenser. It is not pump friendly. But if you go through the process of making a saponified liquid soap a dispenser would definitely extend it's lifespan.

Hi there, thank you for your reply. I've been experimenting with vinegar alone, dishes in a tub of hot water, and it works wonderfully. Cold water doesn't work as well. Using vinegar as the only cleaning product in my home, I reached the point of asking why can't it be the ONLY product for dishes, AND laundry too? So the mission has begun. I've switched to using it for dishes, and now laundry. I was wondering your thoughts on why it couldn't be used for all of the above, to simplify all cleaning departments : ) Some people add salt to the vinegar, but I'm not sure why. For hand soap, I'd been using the foaming dispenser with Dr. Bronners liquid soap, 3 capfuls then filled with water. Works great, lasts forever. But at $50/gallon, wanted to find a more economical option. My homemade liquid soap efforts (now for hands only) haven't gone so well with the foaming dispenser as the soap congeals and I've not been able to get a good consistency. I may just stick with Bronners for now, as I'm happy with all the time and money saved in all the other areas. Really wanted to eliminate all the vinegar bottles having to go to recycling and tried making my own, but that failed. I'm also experimenting with organic ethanol alcohol as a hand sanitizer spray instead of foaming soap...I love everything about it, it's got a super fresh uplifting energy about it, very effective and doubles as a produce wash better than vinegar.@@sustainableslowliving

@@kricketkitty When working with all-natural cleaning products there's science involved behind each of the ingredients. I'm not the right person to share that information with you because it's not something I've ever spent a lot of time looking into. But it's definitely all out there on the web if you are interested in looking into it. I did enjoy hearing about your cleaning product journey. It sounds like you're having fun with it. Keep working on getting to the perfect place for you ;)

What a wonderfully nice thing to say! Thanks so much. You made my day!

At the time of this video I was living in someone else's space and didn't have any of my own things:( I was using what was available. But good eye!

The other ingredients contribute to the efficacy of the soap as well. But if you want to give just using a bar of soap a try I say go for it. Never hurts to try.

I'm not sure. It's been so long since I made these that I honestly don't remember the dimensions. But if you come up with a solution please do share it so that others can benefit from it too 😉

The reason why it didn’t fit was in the very first comment. It is because of cutting the exact 1:3 ratio, instead of saying, I need 12x 36, and want 1/2” seam allowances, so cutting 13”x37” and sewing 1/2” all around would give you the finished 12x36 that will make it work.
