To dissolve, use an old jar with a lid like a mason jar. Add powder and warm/hot water, close with lid and shake.
What a sweet lady ❤ thank you for the information
I have a chemistry degree and never even thought about making my own detergent. It's astonishing how much money you save!
It's not laundry detergent it's laundry Soap which cannot be used modern He machines. If you have an old school machine then this is for you. Also borax is hard on rubber seals on front loading machines. 73
I use this detergent for clean the whole house. It goes so well on the tiles!
Great tip! I had no idea. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for watching.
This homemade detergent cleans my cloths better than store bought.
For he washers you could spread out that first 5 gallon bucket into 4 five gallon buckets of washing liquid, add 20ml of food grade polysorbate 80 surfactant which will make it work like store bought laundry soap per each 5 gallon bucket, 1/4 cup of Epsom salt to reduce suds, and 1/4 cup of citric acid to reduce soap scum in the tub. 1 cup liquid detergent per load.
One cup is to much. I have been making and using for 10 years now. Use 2tbsp and that will do the job. you can put in A jar fill it with 1/2 cup hot water and let the soap melt somewhat. It works well. love the agitator. It cleans clothes better then without.
I used it for a few years and found it made my clothes dingy and smell. I unfortunately stopped, but sure had fun making it!
Oh no. Thats no good. I’ve used it for years. So far so good. Thx for watching.
Sorry you had that experience with the homemade. I have better luck washing in warm water always (we have hard water) and I don't use more than a few tablespoons in the wash. Never more. No dingy whites and colors are clean and bright plus no smelly dirty clothes lol... have used homemade for at least the past 4 years.
If you use cold only this soap is not. Good using cold water. You might get away with using hot water to dissolve the soap mixture then adding it to your machine. 73
@@doloresleyva8810 , I have soft water and Always use warm water.
I honestly tried using this DIY home recipe laundry detergent for quite a while.🤔
Before I realized that this doesn't really work.😮
I realize many of these dry ingredients do the same kind of things to your clothing.😮
I also realize that these ingredients were stripping the color off of my clothing.🤔
I also realized many people were using the same kind of ingredients to strip their laundry from build up laundry detergent.🤔😮🤔
Are we washing our laundry or are we stripping are laundry each time we wash them.🤔
I began to notice that my daughter was getting constant rashes and irritation.
I began to notice that my clothing wasn't smelling clean.
I began to notice that the color of my clothing was fading away.
I began to notice that my elastic bands from my daughter's clothing or mine were becoming weaker and breaking.😮
My washing machine was constantly breaking.😢
The repairman inform me to stop using any type of dry ingredients laundry detergent a specially the homemade.
The ingredients were over stripping my washing machine.
He told me it is okay to use white vinegar instead of store-bought softener and softener sheets because no one should use fabric softener and fabric sheets because they build a layer in your washing machine as well as your dryer damaging it and they are extremely toxic full of dangerous chemicals which stay on your clothing.
But he also told me too much white vinegar in your washing machine can also damage the washing machine.
He told me too many ingredients that strip your laundry as well as your machine can over strip it.
He told me using a wooly ball and some pure essential oils instead of fabric sheets are a good idea. 😍
Name brand store-bought laundry detergent has been manufactured to do the right job for your laundry as well as your machine as long as you do not overdo it one tablespoon for small Loads and two tablespoons for large loads only.😍😃
A small amount of anything goes a long way.
Water is the actual ingredient that cleans your clothing and the motion of banging your clothing in the washing machine or by hand is what really cleans your clothing.
Wow! Thats tough. I’m sorry you had those issues. That’s one reason I always say Use at your own risk. Thx for watching.
I am curious what recipe you used for your homemade. What were the ingredients and proportions?
Val, this is the best video on making homemade laundry powder that I have seen. Thanks so much, I will be making this recipe.
Hope you enjoy! You are very kind. I’ve been using this for years. It saves a lot of money or it does me. Thx for watching.
Love this you're like a mama that I never had ❤.
When we downsized to this home in 2016 - From a 2300sq ft house to now a 1400 sq ft house - we went to a second hand appliance store as I WANTED a normal washer - not those washers that dont have an agitator - we paid $150 and its still going !
Plus i purchased scrubbimg board to wash when we loss power here in Montgomery County, Texas.
Always good to have on hand and a tub is fine or your sink.
My grandmother had the old wringer washer .
They do make them again but so expensive.
God bless you 🙏
Doesn’t it amaze you that you can’t find a washer with an agitator? I’m glad I’m not the only one that loves them. I love hearing about your grandmother. Thx for watching.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
This is my first time on your channel. Good information. Thank you.
Welcome!!!! Thank you for watching. Make sure and subscribe!
Thank you for sharing this❣️❣️❣️
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
I’ve been making my detergent for years. Love it. ❤
I love it! Thanks for watching.
I can hardly wait to try this
Thank U So Much For Sharing I Also Shared It With My Sisters And My Niece’s Because We Have Very Large Families May The LORD Continue To You And Your Family 🌞😘🌹✝️🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️🩸
Thanks for sharing!! That means a lot. I love it. I went down the detergent isle at Sams the other day and it was so nice to know that I didn’t have to buy any!! Thx for watching.
Thanks for giving the info on the preshredded stuff, I already grate mine and I don't like it but now I can buy this!!
You are so welcome. Yes!!! I love it. My hands hurt when I grate it.
I had a high def.washing machine and didn't like it.When it quit working I bought an agitation machine and I love it.
If a person has a high efficiency washing machine, what would you recommend to substitute for the zote flakes? The box says it is not safe for high-efficiency washers.
Thank you so much for this idea/recipe!😁❤️ I sure appreciate it. Also, I think your hair looks really cute the way you have it up😊
Oh thank you! You are so sweet. The day I did this is was cold out there!!! Lol. Well it was the end if May. It was cold to me. It’s hot today. Thx for watching.
That even good don't have to buy no Landry stuff can make my own ❤❤SS
I made this recipe twice now. First batch in September’22. I added fragrance beads. Works great. I didn’t pre-dissolve it. Lasted until June ‘23 for two of us. Grated 2 Zote bars each time. Lol
Will definitely look for the flakes. Thank you. 😊😊
Wonderful! I love it snd it’s so cheap to make. Thx for stating with me and thank you for watching.
❤❤ have a blessed day everyone ❤❤
I don't know why I never thought to make my own laundry detergent! Thanks for sharing your recipe and I agree with you regarding old washers are the way to go because of the agitators! And we can pick up used ones for a fraction of the cost of those "new-fangled" computer operated non agitating ones. 😉
PS Love that you gave props to God as you said good-bye. ❤🔥I became a subscriber today.
Keep the Faith ❤🔥Share the Faith
Thank you, Val you are awesome….saving us money
You are so welcome. I love it. Works for us. And a lot cheaper. Thx for watching.
I JUST LOVE THIS GAL SHE THINKS JUST L8KE ME. I HAVE AN ADJATATER ONE TOO. THANK YOU. IF ITS NOT BROKE
WELL YOU KNOW THE REST
Thank you so much for your sweet words. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing Val! Im always looking for ways to save money! My daddy use to tell me "I'm so tight with my money I squeak when I walk!" Lol ..also my M-I-L does this... apparently, per her, this is really good for the septic tank vs store bought kind! Oh and last but not least, Lowes sells a screw on lid for the 5 gallon buckets and its so much easier to open and close! Its only like $8 or so. Thanks again for sharing! Love your channel!
Thank you so much for the tip on the screw on lid. That would be very helpful to me. And yes. I’ve heard it’s better on septic tanks too. Thank you for watching.
Yes he is. 🙌🏻
God is good All the time
🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Amen.
Love your video! Is this homemade detergent safe for septic tanks?
I made the liquid style a few years back n it worked good, Kindy itchy afterwards, I'm gonna do this style this time.
I haven’t had any trouble with either one. Everybody is different. I hope this one works good for you. Make sure to dissolve before adding to washer.
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt on this liquid style was exactly that
Do you put white vinegar in your rinse…1/2 cup small load …1 cup large…and whatever for medium…
Val I absolutely love watching everything you do. I’ve made laundry soap in the past & you made me wanta do it again. I’m mixing it now. Then I’m starting your apple butter. Please keep doing what you do! I love everything ❤ thank you I enjoy homemade things like this & canning. I had to buy bars Zote. Recipe is 2.5 bars can I just finish the 3rd bar in it? Or that’s to much soap??
I would do it! That’s just me though. You are very sweet. Thank you!
You are sweet!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thank you for sharing. How, to make Landry soap
I have a question is that septic safe
Well I’m no expert but I’ve been told it was!!! I guess I should say use at your own risk. Look at the ingredients and you will probably see what’s in it. Thank you for watching.
Thank you Val I’m going to share this with everyone it’s an amazing idea, I can’t believe how expensive laundry detergent is. I will add the beads for fragrance. ❤
It’s crazy how expensive it all is. And we fall for it. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching.
I grind my soap bars in an old food processor. I chop them up into small pieces first.
I used to do that too!! We are so alike. Sorry I missed seeing you the other day. We got in late and slept in late. Lol
Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you Mary!
Frank Gutowski. If you watched the video you will also hear me say to do it your way. Thx for watching
That's how I make mine too! Been doing it for years!
Oh that’s so neat. Great minds think alike! Thx for watching.
It’s very good, ecologically clean and easy to prepare. I’m using for some years. But I use ordinary soap just to grand it. The proportion is 1:1:1+add 2 -4 tablespoons of citric acid and blend it.
Thank for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe for laundry use. I will definitely be using your recipe to save money. I am extremely frugal in a lot of ways and this is just one more helpful solution. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for always commenting and encouraging me. Thx for watching.
I’m getting back to making my own. Thank you so much for sharing this! I think it will do much better than my old recipe of just borax and baking soda.
I put my detergent in hot water and stir.
I would LOVE to use this!!! Sadly, my sweet hubby doesn't like it, so... I can't use it. Thank you for sharing it!!!
Awe. There are several recipes out there. Maybe try another one. This works great for us. Thx for watching.
Where can I find the recipe please ? TIA
Gurl youre such an inspiration a money saver.
I try!!! Giggle. Thanks for watching.
Val, i have all these products, except, the soap flakes which i will look for! This is a wonderful idea! Btw..i love your coveralls you look so nice in them., where did you get them? I help my husband in the garden and they would be great. God is good! Lord bless you. 😊
Sandy. Should I block him. He’s everywhere? I just hate to be mean like he is being.
I make the dry and when I use it I desolve it in hot water.
Do you have to use the Zote flakes? It is impossible to find in the stores.
I'm trying the liquid Castile soap
I am definitely going to make this, but I have a couple of questions. Do you use fabric softener? If so, do you make this as well? Also, where did you get your large jar with the lid? Thank you for sharing this recipe. We are trying to budget now since prices are skyrocketing. This will also help with my daughter allergies to fragrance. It's so expensive and hard to find fragrance free items. I don't believe you are frugal; I call it smart💜
Casey You are very kind. Thank you. I got my bucket at Lowe’s years ago. Any bucket or even hard will work. I have never made fabric softener but I would like too. Things are so expensive. We e got to do something. Thx for watching.
Frank. I understand that you don’t like this. And that’s ok. To each his own. I still say thank you for watching.
Where is the complete recipe for this Detergent?
In the description box. But here you go.
Small batch
1 - 17.6 oz box Zote Laundry Flakes or 1 bar Zote Laundry Soap, grated
1 1/2 - cups Mule Team Borax
1 1/2 cups Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (not baking soda)
1 - 18 oz bottle Purex Crystals or Downy Unstopables laundry booster beads (optional)
2 - cups Oxy Clean, optional
Combine all ingredients in a large container and stir well. Place detergent in sealed container or jar. Measure out 1/8 cup per load of laundry.
4 tablespoons is = to about 1/8 cup.
I love this detergent & I’ve never had an issue but Remember to always use at your own risk & read washing machines instruction for the detergent you use.
Enjoy!
Will it be ok for black nurses scrubs?
I can’t answer that because I’ve never done that. I don’t see why it wouldn’t but you need to try a sample. I use on all of our clothes. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for your videos. You said one eighth cup for a regular load. How much would you suggest for extra large loads? Also, do you use this for delicate fabrics? Thank you.
I wouldn’t use more than a 1/4 cup. And yes. I use on everything. Just dissolve first.
Another way to save some of my hard-earned money, thank you!
Yes!!! Thx for watching.
They are starting to make agitator washers again I just had to by one about 4 or 5 months ago, I have went through 2 front end loaders and will never own another one again.
They just don’t make things like they used to. My daughter just bought one, and she made sure she got the one with the agitator. Thanks for watching.
If we double this “recipe”, would the quality deteriorate overtime?
No. I double all the time. Thank you for watching.
Thank you ❤
My pleasure.
Val, I think this is a wonderful idea. I posted earlier but someone replied to my earlier post and let's say..it wasn't you! Anyway, my husband has all the ingredients and i like your coveralls too.😊
I know!! I just saw it. I tried to respond snd be nice. People need to just chill out dint they? Lol. It doesn’t bother me that they disagree. It does bother me that they got so mad. Oh well. You should try it. It’s great! Thx. Overalls came from Amazon. I love them!
Val, You asked about blocking that man that responded to my post. You asked me if you should block him? Has he made a nuisance of himself?
Yes. I blocked him. Sad I had too.
Thank you. I just bought the ingredients to make this for the first time ever 😁 the grated zote was about $3.98 for 500grams and the 400gram bar was $1.65ish at my local walmart
That’s wonderful!! I love it. I love both the liquid and the dry. The liquid is just heavy to carry. Thx for watching.
Hi , good morning- I have been subscribed to you , but I guess not getting notifications-
Im so glad I saw this today .
Ive seen others do this .
But I writting it down now In my note book i keep and write everything down.
Im 57 and started making our own
NO KNEAD Sandwich bread in regular bread pans , as i had back fusion and they messed up .
But yes we need to really save every way we can .
1 loaf of bread is now $4.78 i said enough and made our own 2 loaves last week.
Im so grateful my grandmother lived through the depression and taught me to be frugal .
Like I taught my children.
God bless you -
I will be watching your other content .
Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
I love this! You have it going on. Thank you for subscribing. If you look at notifications it has a place where you can mark ALL. see if that helps. Thank you for watching. Love your comment.
Where does it state how much all of this costs? Where is the total cost shown?
In the description box. All info is in description box. Hope that helps. 30.00 or less to make it. It last us right at a year. Try it at your own risk. I just share what I do. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for your recipe for LD! Woohoo! I use Invisible LD. It's so cheap it's free! 😜😜😜 It has a scent to it...its called Dirty Laundry scent! 🤣😂🤣😂
I couldnt resist! 😝
@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt Not true at all but you are projecting again. You better tell your therapist. 😁
Grant There you are!!! Maybe here I am!! Lol.
Grant. Thank you. Have you ever seen anyone so angry? I should block I guess. I just hate to be mean. But he won’t stop.
@@ourforeverfarm I hear you. I dont know Frank at all. He obviously doesnt get my humor at all like you do. Someone must have pissed in his grits that day that he chose to be nasty. 🤷♂️ 😁 Some people were just born angry or maybe dropped on the head that day...hehe 🤭
@@ourforeverfarm Here I am! Glad you found me! I did send you email ages ago. Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge. 😛
If I put the Zote In the food processor to make it more of a powdery substance would that help with dissolving it more during the wash cycle?
My thoughts too, saw it in another video so it appears to work for others.
Yes I put mine in food processor and it works great.
@@cyndilane8860 have you had any issue with your laundry some smelling clean? I have. I made the liquid version but it is basically the same.
Now what is the scent of this? What does it smell like on your clothes? Also how big of a scoop per load?
Oh my goodness I’ve made my own soap for eons lol. Hard to believe folks don’t do this. Saves money and save on the wear of the fabric too. God bless y’all xox
I so agree!!!! And it’s so expensive to buy!
@@ourforeverfarm I think my neighbor said she puts out 50$ a week for her laundry supplies…. Can you believe that! I almost fainted….
@@RmKemr it’s crazy!!!!! I just can’t do it.
@@ourforeverfarm me neither doll, well God bless, have a good night.
I/8 of a cup equals how many tablespoons? Only 1/8th of a cup per regular size load?
I believe it’s like 2 tbsps. But check for sure. Don’t trust me. lol. I tell everyone use at your own risk but we love it. It works for us!
I made this the laundry detergent on 8/21/23 I use today I use 2 tablespoons of detergent and the clothes came out, clean and soft to like I use fabric softener, but I don’t use fabric softener I’ll be making this detergent This is a keeper. Thanks now you have a recipe for dish detergent liquid.
You forgot to tell us about how much you paid for the soap can we have an update please and thank you 😊
It’s less than 30.00. I put in the description box. But of course you will need to check your prices in your area. Thank you for watching.
@@ourforeverfarm thank you 😊
How come I can't find the description box for your recipes ? BTW LOVEEE your channel❤
Thank you you made it so simple 😊 I am going to try it❤
Should I still use bleach for whites or not because of the oxiclean?
I still use bleach! Thank you for watching.
Hi there. Ive searched your Description box for recipe and cost breakdown. Im sorry but i cannot find either. You have lots of hashtags and links to other things. What am i missing? Kindest thanks, Sandra in New Zealand
Well. I don’t know where it is. I did it. But I have to make some more soon and I’ll do a breakdown. It’s expensive to do anything today but this still saves money. Thanks for watching. I apologize. This video was a while back.
Thank you for sharing your proven expertise on how to Make safe and effective laundry detergent. I calculated the price to buy these products and make the laundry detergent as you outlined. It cost twenty dollars from walmart. On another youtube channel, another broadcaster said she gets about two hundred and thirty loads out The same recipe you used. That works out to be about 8.7 cents per load of laundry. I then looked at the cost I am paying for arm and hammer dry laundry powder in a large box that does 155 loads for $15.
It works out to be about 9.7 cents per load. Using the Arm & Hammer powder, Which has oxy in it. So the question is, do I save about 1 penny per load of laundry to make it myself and drive to the walmart to get all these ingredients, As well as purchase a five gallon clean bucket to hold the homemade laundry soap? Then i must add in the cost of gas plus my labor and time To get the ingredients, mix it as well as purchase a dedicated five gallon clean bucket for the Homemade laundry detergent. And I have determined that it simply is not worth the effort to save less than $3. My time and gas is worth more than that! So I will keep purchasing my arm and hammer powder laundry detergent with oxy in it at walmart doing one hundred and fifty five loads for just under 15 dollars. It works great and it's all natural. Now I agree that if I am comparing your homemade laundry detergent to tide or another top quality high priced brand then the savings is probably, perhaps likely, to be worth it. But I don't use those expensive laundry detergents. I've been using arm and hammer laundry powder for years and it works fabulously. So I am sticking with what I am doing because there is simply Not enough cost savings to justify the added effort and cost. Thank you for this great video Because without it I would not be able to determine the most cost effective Laundry detergent. Take care and enjoy your retirement.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.
Looking at the ingredients there are dyes, fragrances and preservatives in the arm and hammer though?
@@sunshineand No dyes or preservatives because it contains sodium percarbonate (oxy) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which are preservatives in and of themselves. However, it does have some perfume in it, but very mild in my opinion and experience. It is highly cost effective, Powerful and
Does a great job all the way around. And in terms of price, it cannot be beat.
WHAT A FANTASTIC WOMAN ! INSIDE AND OUTSIDE... LUCKY HUSBAND
Awe. Thank you.
I was thinking about making at least five of those tubs full for that just in case the crap hits the fan. Got some scrub boards and I am looking for the big tub.
I used all these ingredients, turned all my whites dingy...
Not impressed at all......
Awe. That makes me sad. I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you. Thank you for watching.
@@ourforeverfarm
I made the Laundry detergent again, Yesterday.
I watched several videos, and I had left overs from my 1st attempt.
After, I found out Borax, made the clothes dingy. ( very useful, information) 1 cup instead of a whole box.
It turned out Great. Nice and thick. Can't wait to try it on light clothes.
Darn all my clothes where already washed up..... Lol
Thank you
This homemade laundry detergent makes your white clothes so white.
It works great! Thanks for watching.
VAL…..I PROMISE YOU, YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASH YOUR LAUNDRY IN THAT RECIPE……..IT SLOWLY RUINS YOUR CLOTHES, IT PUTS A COATING ON THE FIBERS IN YOUR CLOTHES AND YOU WILL REGRET DAMAGING YOUR CLOTHING…
I’ve used this for 40 years and had no problem. Sorry you did. It works for us! Make sure to dissolve it good. To me that’s the key. But thx for the comment.
I've made this for years. I also ad small bottle of dawn clear dish soap. Its awesome and does not damage our clothes.
I love Dawn in everything. It’s a miracle worker. Thx for watching. I’ve used this for years too.
Me too.
I've made this for years and have been using an older washer with an agitator. Our machine has not had any issues and our clothes washes up just fine.
