Same here, & I have to agree. *I also like to keep borax & diatomaceous earth around for non-toxic pest control, both are so effective & economical. Same goes for pure peppermint oil, in bulk quantity~ love that for so many uses as well.
I've used this recipe before. Good stuff. Didnt know the borax was the thickener. Had no idea why I woke up to a 5 gal bucket of gel 😂 but it worked wonders and took me a lil over a year to get through it for my house of 3.
Thx for your recipe. Wanted to mention that the box of ZOTE flakes is 2 bars worth of grated soap. So half of the box would be about one bar grated. I also like to put in some essential oils- lavender is nice, or eucalyptus smells fresh also.
Oh Granny, how I adore you!!! Thank you for sharing your love and wisdom with us. You are such a joy who exudes abundance of light and blessings!!! May it all be returned to you 10 fold. Much love and hugs to you and yours this holiday season and always. 🙏🏻❤🙌🏻🥰✝
I add baking soda to my Zote mixture and use a 5-gallon paint, mud, and cement mixer attachment for my power drill. It mixes it much better than I can by hand. Happy to see you sharing your knowledge with those who may not have this experience.
I am old enough to remember American soap Flakes....and NOTHING smells like that clean SOAP fragrance. Laundry day at my grandma's with her wringer washer....we were the ones who hung things on the line.....Laundry was almost meditation....with work ! I always used Ivory soap flakes on towels and sheets until they went to DETERGENT...... I love laundry SOAP. I use this and love it......mine has the washing soda in it, but you are right....so clean.
When I make my laundry soap I use a paint stirrer / dry wall mud mixer attachment attached to a drill to mix it . Works Great. However I add some washing soda to my mix .
I always go to a laundromat get bottles out of the trash. I also use washing soda. I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. Vinegar 1. Neutralizes soap residue 2. It's a mildewezide. 3. It also works as a fabric softener. I never use liquid softener it coats your clothes.
If it's soap it's no good for H e machines. Theres got to be a real Free and Clear recipe that can be made Borax is not good for rubber on these H e machines either. Just a warning. 73
Back to basics is a great idea. I’m 67 and I believe that too. It’s more physical work but it’s way cheaper in most cases. I’m used to working harder. I make and own a soap business and I make coconut soap for my laundry soap. I also use a portable washer which means more work but it really cleans better than my big fancy washer. Great job on the video.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im up at 1:40 am freezing eggs and UA-cam auto rolled onto this video. I had to pull out my laptop and put this recipe in then to Walmart ap to order zote and borax. This tio is worth your weight in Gold. God bless you.
I really do appreciate your wealth of knowledge and u r really helping me to prepare. I dont have any parents or grandparents living and none of my older sisters or brothers even prep or show me this money saving idea and im going to share it with my friends and what they do with the information is their business.
Thank you for the zoats soap recipe. It just so happens I had a box of Zoats soap shavings and borax. It took me no time at all to add the hot water, stir, and it was all done. The next morning my soap was thick and creamy just like yours! ❤ thank you!🙏🏻❤️
Hey there young lady, I been doing this since 2016 in the powder form and I only use 2 to 3 Tbsp per load depending on the dirt n size of loads, clothes, coats and blankets comes out nice no itching afterwards. Very nice video and always full of knowledge.
I've been making my own soap now for a month and absolutely love it! It's time to prep as you know things are getting scarce. We have to prepare for the future and show our kids how to prepare. Thank you!😊
Thank you so so so much for this recipe! Made it and using it right now! I’m so excited about this!!!! My kids helped stir it and had so much fun! 😂 it smells amazing!
Thank you @Granny Karma I wasn't aware of borax strength. I make my own soap, but I may be using too much. You may save me money on product and clothing.
My friend makes homemade soap she have a dry cleaner business she says uses Biz, Arm& hammer laundry baking soda, Oxiclean and Foca detergent in a bag. Iknow Foca is a really good detergent for less cleans really well. I'm glad I discovered your channel. ❤
I just made this laundry soap... I'm so excited... After watching several videos... Your video was the most helpful... Thank you so much! I can't wait to try my new laundry detergent!❤
My son has atopic dermatitis and I've spent close to $30 on the expensive allergenic products every week every item has to be washed like this. Is this okay for his skin? GOD's Grace and Gift that I found your channel You've Lifted my Soul so many times with just your laughter Thank you🙏🏼
Love the recipe! And you can see the brightness in the laundry. Going to have to try this. I have to add some baking soda to mine to soften the water a bit.
I'm all excited over here too LOL!!!!! Thank you for sharing, you are amazing! So are we supposed to use about 1 cup of the soap in my wash? or is it 1/2 cup?
I've gradually been moving away from store brought goods. I love this laundry soap recipe. I can't wait to try it. Thank you sweet Granny. I will be teaching this to my young adult children. Many hugs.😘🤗🤗
My goodness this is great. I've been making my own detergent, but more of a concentrated cream...only need 1 tablespoon per load. It's pretty inexpensive but yours is even better. Thanks
God's Blessings to you Granny and your Family. Thank you so very much for sharing your video on how to make laundry soap which will save me a lot of money! I will be sharing your video with others. ❤🤗❤
Food grade buckets are labeled #2 plastic and the home depot and menards colored buckets are also #2 buckets. look at the bottom and see what # is in the recycle triangle.
Granny I got a nice suggestion for your viewers if they do like I do and throw away their containers. Go to a real busy laundry mat and Im sure u can find empty soap and cream rinse bottles in the trash.
I have been watching all these diy laundry soap videos... Many people said not to use water or milk jugs and a few others.. because the detergent devolves the plastic and they has a leaking mess... I don't know the time frame that happened... But just some FYI to look up that you are using a quality jugs for long term storage
I have a recipe for some similar. 1 c borax 1 c super washing soda 2 bars unscented zote grated 2 gal hot boiling water Essential oil of choice Let sit overnite 2 gal tepid water
Good Evening Granny Karma, I have 2 questions. First what was the reason that you got away from making your own soap? 2) how much fragrance did you suggest to add to the detergent for fragrance? Thank you soo much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with all of your babies. It feels like I'm listening to the women in my family that have gone home. 🕊
First of all, I want to thank you for sharing this video! I’m with you on going back to basics! (On cooking as well!) So I just have a question. How much soap do you use and is this soap safe to use in a HE wash machine?
I've been making this for about 12 years and this really does work amazingly better than name brands
Same here, & I have to agree. *I also like to keep borax & diatomaceous earth around for non-toxic pest control, both are so effective & economical. Same goes for pure peppermint oil, in bulk quantity~ love that for so many uses as well.

@jadeMagik yes it works wonders. I been doing this similar recipe for several years in powder form.
@@zettiejoseph3616 I use the powder recipe now causevits just easier and the rest of my household doesn't know the difference.
@@kilajai 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@zettiejoseph3616 receipe please ?
"Pennies on the dollar"~ words that surely do get my attention 💡🎯
Thank you for teaching me, and I'm 70 year old
I bought some zote soap, to make my laundry soap it was $1.89 at Walmart for a bar of the pink stuff it used to be $.89
Thx for your recipe. Wanted to mention that the box of ZOTE flakes is 2 bars worth of grated soap. So half of the box would be about one bar grated. I also like to put in some essential oils- lavender is nice, or eucalyptus smells fresh also.

I add baking soda to my Zote mixture and use a 5-gallon paint, mud, and cement mixer attachment for my power drill. It mixes it much better than I can by hand. Happy to see you sharing your knowledge with those who may not have this experience.
Hey j Patton if I use baking soda do I still have to use the borax?
how much bakind soda?
Do you mean Arm & Hammer Washing Soda? Some recipes I’ve seen call for that and a little vegetable glycerin.
Baking soda is a filler. She needs to add washing soda.
Baking soda helps control odors in the laundry

She’s clueless.
I always go to a laundromat get bottles out of the trash. I also use washing soda. I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. Vinegar 1. Neutralizes soap residue 2. It's a mildewezide. 3. It also works as a fabric softener.
I never use liquid softener it coats your clothes.
Great tip!
Vinegar won’t stop mildew and it doesn’t soften fabrics. More wishful thinking.
If it's soap it's no good for H e machines. Theres got to be a real Free and Clear recipe that can be made Borax is not good for rubber on these H e machines either. Just a warning. 73
Many blessings to you and your family! Thank you Grandma Karma for your easy soap making techniques! 🙏🏽🤗❤
You are so welcome
Hi Grammy karma my mom used to take scraps of soap 🧼 and put it in a jar with warm water 💧 we had our liquid soap God bless 🙌 all ❤️ 💚
Girl stop it I say so did mine😂😂yes you took me allllll the way back home❤❤
Back to basics is a great idea. I’m 67 and I believe that too. It’s more physical work but it’s way cheaper in most cases. I’m used to working harder.

Lol. It’s not been used to wash laundry for over 70 years.
You forgot armn hammer washing powders
I've been making my own laundry soap for about a year now, but I'm going to try yours so I can have liquid soap. Thank you so much.
Wonderful!

How well did it clean those fishy smell panties?
Thanks, I've been slowly incorporating back to basics too
Hey there young lady, I been doing this since 2016 in the powder form and I only use 2 to 3 Tbsp per load depending on the dirt n size of loads, clothes, coats and blankets comes out nice no itching afterwards. Very nice video and always full of knowledge.
Lol. Sooo dilute. It’s like washing with plain water!
Your voice is so soothing, thank you for sharing how you make your laundry detergent with us!
Saves a ton of money and you can control the ingredients
I'm new to laundry soap making... This is the most helpful video I have run across... Thank you!❤
THANK U MY SISTER ♥️👁️👁️ MY MOTHER USED 2 MAKE IT BUT NEVER TOOK NOTE LOL 😎 MUCH LOVE RESPECT 2 U BEAUTIFUL QUEEN
I forgot about making my laundry soap, thanks for the reminder! I use washing soda in mine as well.
I do to I didn't use the borax but it came out too thick for my liking after sitting almost 24 hrs in bucket. Is there a way to fix the consistency?
@@leonorawilliams1916
Yes! Don’t make it. Soap is unsuitable for washing laundry. Why’s that hard to understand?
It's that thick because you only use half water & half of the soap mix to make 1 gallon of laundry detergent.@@leonorawilliams1916
Granny, I just found you today. I love your video 😊
Thank you so much for the recipe for the homemade laundry detergent. I am making it this weekend. Nothing but love

I thought borax softens water.
BS doesn’t soften water.
