What is up with all the rude comments? You showed us how to make a concentrate laundry soap that works. This is wonderful! I have never seen it done in a jar before and I'm willing to give it a go. I may transfer it to plastic containers after it's done completely. I need my jars for canning purposes LOL even my half pints for jelly. Thanks goes out to your husband for his service, and thank you for this wonderful tutorial!❤ May God continue to bless you all! ✝️🙏
Man I have no idea. 😆 folks just I think 💭 don’t watch the entirety and don’t realize tutorials are like lessons so they take time. Oh well. Thanks for this kind comment! You are so sweet! Thanks for your kind words! Have a blessed day!
Thank you for your service to your husband, to you and your family. We love you for all you do for our country, and you are even teaching us things. Awesome 🤗
Homemade Laundry Detergent: 1 bar Fels Naptha Soap 1 box 20 Mule Team Borax 1 box Arm Hammer Super Washing Soda 1. Grate the Fels Naptha. 2. Put the Fels Naptha in a food processor to make it into a powder. 3. In a 5 gallon bucket, Combine the Fels Naptha powder with the 20 Mule Team Borax and with the Arm Hammer Super Washing Soda. 4. Mix thoroughly to make sure everything is combined. 5. Store in airtight container to prevent clumping. 6. Use 1/2 cup per load. Suggestions: Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the wash basket after you add your detergent and before you load your laundry. The baking soda softens the water and deodorizes your laundry. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser or to the final rinse cycle. The white vinegar dissolves soap residue and softens your laundry. Use wool dryer balls in your dryer. The wool dryer balls fluffs your laundry and reduces drying time.
Hi "neighbor!" [I'm in NH] Just found your channel a few days too late...I just made my powdered laundry soap, and yes, had to grind it all down in the food processor. I had never seen your method before...I love it! Next time....wonderful to meet a sister in Christ xx Pam
Hello yes NH! Hey! I’m sorry to hear you took the long road to laundry soap! Awe but the good thing is it lasts a while so that’s good! Thanks for stopping in! I’m so glad you are here!
This is one of the most interesting videos on liquid laundry detergents I have seen. Jars instead of a five gallon bucket. I’m going to do it ASAP. Thank you.
Ask the cake people in walmart thats where we get all our food safe buckets n they only pay a dollar a bucket, some may even let u get free but i used one of those 👍
There are 4 basic Musts when using homemade laundry detergent. They are: 1. Soft water (0 Grains Hardness or 0 Parts Per Million). 2. Warm wash water (90F-110F) & Hot wash water (120F-140F). Cold rinse water (60F-80F). 3. Extra Rinse Option or 2nd Rinse Option turned on. 4. Heavy Duty Cycle set to heaviest soil level/longest wash time.
This is my first time making your recipe! I was nervous about having the melt my soap, I’ve made the grated kind before, but I made a big batch of this whipped and I’m super excited to try it out!!! Thank you for making it manageable! I do like the idea of using quart jars as well, an easy way to try it out without making a giant batch if you haven’t done it before!!!
Awe dawn so happy to hear it! I love the concentrated batch and less cleanup! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for connecting and letting us all know how it went for you. Have a great day!
Thanks! I enjoyed thoroughly teaching this five minute hands on method……though it takes two days. The five minutes hands-on to prepare time is my favorite! One jar and easy clean up! This is my favorite way to make laundry soap concentrate. Thanks for stopping by my channel!
I used all those and added baking soda & scent crystals too n i love it 👍💯🙏 plus i need a 5 gallon lest u make it liquid way. A small frosting bucket will hold all of that. Enjoy it everyone 👍
U did the laundry butter way, i just make the powder mix but have a recipe for liquid one too and a cheap dollar tree cheese grater is how i shave my fels n zote bars 👍💯 havent tried the butter way yet.
Yes it’s a whipped consistency in the mason jar. I’ve heard a lot of folks like the powdered version. Though I have not experimented it in my own laundry routine yet. I’ve heard good things. I may seek to try that, but I did get a New Washer and I’m not sure about the adding of it. Maybe in the future for us. I could shave the bars, yes. I’ve done that in the past and even cooked them in a sauce pan. Though when I found this recipe, I found it to be a little bit easier now that the blender gets it all mixed up and melted quickly. I do like the high volume 5-gal tub version also 😎❤️
I have used dawn dish soap as laundry soap it does very well and gets grease out... Put one part soap to three parts soap in your container and use a half a cup in wash... Just a thought..
This is an awesome video! I love stuff like this! I've never made homemade laundry detergent but you made this look so simple! Great job girlfriend! Big thumbs up!
Don't use Zote soap with a HE washer (read box flakes). I substitute a commercial detergent for zote and add borax, washing soda and boosters. If need I add oxi clean. I have used this for 2-3 years successfully. Thanks for your husbands service to our country. God Bless Your Family! (Powder Detergent is so much easier and quicker to make.
@@camillecloyd2763 It was touted as an issue reducing fabric softener that helps with stains and brightening whites. I've heard it even helps with static cling and doesn't leave soap film. On the other hand, I've heard others say it makes hard water harder. We're new to this, so we'll see?
Awe thank you! It is a good recipe. Just a touch different from others because it’s a concentrate. I am thankful I don’t have to lug 5-gal buckets any longer 😁😎❤️
I can't wait to try this. I found a like-new hand mixer at a thrift shop for $5 so I can whip this up quickly without the mess of a 5 gallon bucket! I've been making my own powdered version for decades but never found a good liquid version that wasn't a hassle until now, thanks for the video.
Howdy. Well Essential oils would be fro fragrance. You will need a soap of some kind. Castile liquid soap is a good substitute for the soap bar. Let me know what you land on for a solution. Thanks for commenting
Yes girl! Life changing….well, at least laundry 🧺 soap cost changing. I find when it’s too hard and cumbersome…I’m not going to do it and MISS OUT on pinching those pennies. I KNOW you got me on that THRIFTY MOMMAS all say “Amen” 👏🏼
Man I wish I saw this a few days ago! I made the 5 gallon bucket version that’s so slimy. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I’m going try it tomorrow.
@@MindyourMatters I have Mason jar drink dispensers I got at Walmart for like $5 while I was watching I kept thinking those would be perfect for this recipe!!
I just wash and use again. The soap 🧼 is easily removed from the boards. The soap then is only used in the mason jars as well….those clean up amazing as well if they need to serve a different purpose next time (like canning or a drinking glass) just run though a good wash in the dishwasher or a regular hand wash with hot soapy water. 😎 thanks for watching!
Whatever works for you and your family. I find it heavy and cumbersome. BUT others may find my method very concentrated and difficult. Either way you go…I hope you find a method that serves you the best! Thanks for stopping by my channel. -Amanda Jqne
I have before, and it seems to do OK, and using vinegar as a rinse aid. I just want to make sure that all the residue is washed out of the clothes. I do not believe we have hard water. So as long as you know your water type that might affect how it washes and rinses. Just be aware of that. Thanks so much for messaging. I hope that you have a lovely day wherever you are!
Wow and Hello, going to try this out. This if fantabulous! ☺ I used to make the 5 gallon ones but this is much simpler. Thank you for this great video. 😊
I have some friends who are. You can do a borax free soap for sure. 👏🏼 exclude the borax and add same replacement amount of washing soda…and or regular baking soda. It works well! Maybe less whitening power…:but I haven’t noticed much of a difference before when I’ve left out borax. Other recipies I’ve used and or (when I was out of Borax…and didn’t know it when I was making soap.) haha! It happens. Please let me know if that helps! I’m working on a follow up video to this…I would love to share a more gentle borax free recipe! I love this concentrate! Have a blessed day! Thanks for watching!
Oops yes I got my sizes mixed up: haha! I hope you were still able to get out of the video what you needed despite my mistakes with the jar names. Thanks for watching
Have you tried this with delicates? I’ve noticed regular laundry soap has been too harsh. Woolite is very expensive and doesn’t seem to do that. Great of a job. I’d love to hear if anyone’s had experience in it?
I washed everything in it. I’ve done hand washing with it before. Of course test a small area first. I cut back the amount and rinse really really well. ☺️ this is just my experience. Please use your own good judgement. I’d hate for you to ruin a lovely garment 😅…..let me know if you have any luck or find it is a good substitute for expensive delicate soaps. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
Compared to the “clean” laundry soap It costs around $4 for 128ish loads for this and for the store bought is $25ish I like seventh generation and other “cleaner” store bought soaps….but homemade is better for the budget for sure. Thanks for that question. Feel free to do your own math with your store prices. They vary so much. 😅😎have a good day
You sound like me with dryer balls and the vinegar lol. I can’t be around fels naphtha. Tried it lol. Smells too strong. Same with zote. So I never could make this but I make my own dishwasher stuff with borax, baking soda and salt. 💜💜💜💜
Thanks! I enjoyed thoroughly teaching this five minute hands on method……though it takes two days. The five minutes hands-on to prepare time is my favorite! One jar and easy clean up! This is my favorite way to make laundry soap concentrate. Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Is it ok to use liquid castile soap or do I have to use the bar soap? 2 bars cost $12 and a 32oz bottle of the liquid is only $10. I'm a penny pincher from way back. Yet, if I have to use the bar soap I will.
You can use liquid Castile soap. I made this video a year + Ago and that is what I was used to. I would say maybe add the Castile liquid soap last? Just be sure you don’t make extra suds with the hot water. I’ll have to check on testing this. Hot water will be needed to help the “powders” dissolve into a more liquid form. Defiantly let me know @Texsis if you try it out. I’ve found cheap Castile soap bars but if liquid is what is more cost effective really I encourage you to do it
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt one can purchase concentrate or make at home. Either way water will be added. I have seen good dry “powdered” DIY detergent. Maybe that’s what your looking for.
Lol, Also basic math.. that was the 18 minutist 5 min vid ever. 😂 JK JK Still well done though, I must say. Thanks for sharing your extra tips. I did learn something. How do you feel about (a concentrated and condensed) update on your extra tips here? Love that your shared some with a friend. Made me smile.
Yes! 🫙 Jars are sometimes hard to come by and need to be reserved for canning I agree. I’ve made this high volume before in a 5- gal tub but it was something I changed to this concentrate. I’m not sure about the conversions but with some math I bet you can come up with a solution to use different containers. Let me know how this goes for you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
5-min hands on time yes. I am a trained teacher so I couldn’t help but be thorough. I made a very condensed short for this method and it is defiantly less detailed but has the main ideas ❤️😉 thanks for watching
I used to do a 5-gal bucket that was heavy and cumbersome with lots of water weight….I’m thankful for this concentrate. I hope you find the recipe you are looking for.
Right I used to do a 5gal bucket in the past, this was meant to cut out the water and make a concentrate that will make it easier and cleaner in the jar. How much do you use for a 5gal tub soap wise? Thanks for stopping by?
I understand. I’ve made a few shortened version of this laundry soap on my channel if you’re interested. If not, I do hope that you find what you’re looking for. I’m sure you well, there is a lot of great recipes out there. Thanks for stopping Bye have a great day.
Sure. There are many recipes for powder recipes. Check one of those out. Maybe it will suit your washing needs better. I prefer this whipped concentrate but everyone has their favorites. I hope you find a recipe that works well for you: thanks for stopping by.
Oh! Pick a bar soap any soap? So if there's psoriasis with lots of flakes in the household can I use a cheap medicated sulfur soap bar? Or Dr. Bronner's? Or both? 🧼🤔💡
For your allergies and skin conditions please make the best choice. As you know your laundry soap even when washed out will be sitting on your clothing….which is on us all day! 😆 sounds like you have a good handle on what is best! I would personally use d

I’ve made this high volume before in a 5- gal tub but it was something I changed to this concentrate. I’m not sure about the conversions but with some math I bet you can come up with a solution to use different containers. Let me know how this goes for you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Jesus 20 minutes to make 5 minute soap
5-min hands on time yes. I am a trained teacher so I couldn’t help but be thorough. I made a very condensed short for this method and it is defiantly less detailed but has the main ideas ❤️😉 thanks for watching
To serve the Lord❤
Thank you for being here
Long 5 minutes
This is way more than 5 minutes. It takes 2 days.
Right time total 5-min
I used to do a 5-gal bucket that was heavy and cumbersome with lots of water weight….I’m thankful for this concentrate.
I hope you find the recipe you are looking for.
Too much soap for sizes of jar u needed a 5 gallon bucket
Right I used to do a 5gal bucket in the past, this was meant to cut out the water and make a concentrate that will make it easier and cleaner in the jar. How much do you use for a 5gal tub soap wise?
Thanks for stopping by?

Yardly has metal in it so not natural
Sorry. Too much talk.
I understand. I’ve made a few shortened version of this laundry soap on my channel if you’re interested. If not, I do hope that you find what you’re looking for. I’m sure you well, there is a lot of great recipes out there. Thanks for stopping Bye have a great day.
If yur going natural, not just saving money, do not get the soap with all the extra junk in it.
I do favor the Castile soap now. 😎
Yep...or Zote
@@texsis2112 zote oh good thanks
You're better off just shredding the soap and making a powder soap.
Sure. There are many recipes for powder recipes. Check one of those out. Maybe it will suit your washing needs better. I prefer this whipped concentrate but everyone has their favorites. I hope you find a recipe that works well for you: thanks for stopping by.
Oh! Pick a bar soap any soap? So if there's psoriasis with lots of flakes in the household can I use a cheap medicated sulfur soap bar? Or Dr. Bronner's? Or both? 🧼🤔💡
For your allergies and skin conditions please make the best choice. As you know your laundry soap even when washed out will be sitting on your clothing….which is on us all day! 😆 sounds like you have a good handle on what is best! I would personally use d
Dr bronners. Sounds like it would be cheaper and safe for your family: ☀️ thanks for commenting have a blessed day!
