  • This is one of my favorite DIY recipes because it is so easy to make and it's a super effective laundry detergent! I tend to lean towards dry laundry detergent but for those of you that prefer liquid detergent you will love this formula. For the full written "recipe" you can head over to my blog:

    I made this last week. Had been using a recipe that calls for Zote, washing soda and borax but it was not getting my whites as bright as they could be. I love this and will be using from here on out. One thing I did differently than your instructions was to mix the borax and washing soda in hot water before adding the dish detergent. That way all powder is dissolved before the detergent is added and there will be very little (if any) suds when the water is added.

    Thank you for this video..... I loved your dry laundry detergent and adjusted the amount of certain items according to my household washing and I fell in love. I did a lot of research and found yours to be the best for me and my family. Now I think I am ready to give the liquid one a go. My plan once I have the liquid one according to my household washing is to make enough of dry and liquid detergent to last for all of next year. I homeschool so it is going to be a science project to do with my 5, 4, and 2 year old. The plan is to make start making it this December and have it ready to go by the end of that month. Please keep ideas like this coming because I really enjoy them.

    I prefer using Dr Bronner's castile soap instead of Dawn. You can add vegetable glycerin as a binding agent so the ingredients won't separate after sitting awhile. You still may need to stir or shake the container you put the mixture in before adding it to your machine. 1/2 cup per load max.

      @kroselynn 5 років тому +6

      kawai hillhill Powdered detergent will do that if you add it to the top of the clothes. Washing machine manufacturers even say in their manuals and some on the underside of the lid (top loading) to add the powder to the bottom of the machine, start the water in the highest temp allowed by the kind if clothes and then put the clothes in.
      If you put the detergent powder on top of the clothes it is less likely to disolve. completely.
      I’ve even went so far as to turn my washer on using hot water to let it fill just a little, so it has a head start by disolving the powder, then switches it to warm (or cold) and then added my clothes.
      Sure its an extra step, but its better than having powder residue from undesolved powder all over my clothes.
      As a matter of fact, with any too loading machine, you should add any kind of detergent first, liquid or powder.
      It has to mix with the water in order to do what its designed to do, right?

      If its used alone it will.
      But the diluted dish soap mixed with the other cleaners won’t clog the innards of tour machine as easily.
      Or if its used in the dispenser.
      It will eventually build up in the dispenser and tubes.
      If you put the detergent directly on the clothes inside the washer is far less likely to clog any tubes.
      Just because there is a dispenser, doesn’t mean you have to use it.

It's called reducing your chemical load on your skin, water supplies and air quality in home. We need to educate ourselves because the Companies out there are not going to tell you the truth. Think about your skin in the Dawn soaking up the chemicals while washing dishes every day and multiple times a day. Our skin absorbs very easily. And clothes can be left with a residue or fragrance.

If they needed to go out and buy soap, it wouldn’t be one if the most expensive brands, when the same ingredients are in less expensive brands.
      As for Dawn being toxic or not I have no idea. I don’t use the nasty stuff and never will. I don’t like the smell or the way my dishes feel after using it.
      Dawn isn’t the best, they just got a lot of people fooled into thinking it is.
      Palmolive and Joy, or Method or Mrs. Meyers are far better than Dawn ever will be. Dawn just spends more on advertising to fool people into thinking its the best.

    Just because Dawn is used on wildlife doesn't make it less toxic. People in this world does a lot of things for a lot of different reasons. It doesn't make all of the decisions right. And just because the use is published on tv doesn't make it okay either. So for all you Dawn supporters, have you researched the chemicals individually? Or found long term studies on the soap? Have you written the company to find out the percentage of chemicals that are left on your dishes to dry and you consume them every time you eat? Dawn is made up of synthetics. Sythentics are tetragogens. While this maybe a quick, simple, cheap product. Opt to use a replacement like Dr. Brenner's or Castile Soap. Especially if your a women. Those intimate garments will be leaning against the breast and vagina all day. The breast stores breast milk and the vagina is a membrane. Just 2 important reasons why I wouldn't wash those intimates in anything with Dawn. I would definitely switch out the Dawn if you have children that you're washing for. The autoimmune diseases are rising significantly. Our children are exposed to more then their fair share with soaps, food, toxic air, emf signals, etc. We don't need to add to it.

      Do your research!!! Your skin is the largest organ of your body and ABSORBS the toxins that you apply on it. You don't have to drink it, you can absorb and breathe in toxins as well. Which century are you living in?
      You probably use hair colourants, medication, fluoride toothpaste, commercial shampoo, antiperspirant deodorant. Please read up on the toxins in these 'everyday' products.

    Dawn is incredibly toxic, please research it, borax also has mixed reviews

      Stephanie Alexander borax isn't harmful unless you are breathing in LARGE amounts of powder. Dawn is less toxic than most soaps but if you are worried use castille soap.

      No, they actually use it to clean off marine animals that are covered in oil from oil spills.
