Thanks for watching!
This is very smart! Laundry soap is not only expensive, but I’ve constantly seen empty shelves at our local Walmart. I have a home economics book from the 1940’s, and they have recipes for all this kind of stuff. It was commonplace for woman to make all their own cleansers. Now we are all brainwashed to think we can only purchase it ready made!
What's the name of the book kindly?
@@hopemuriithi6325 It is from the department of education (in Canada) from 1942. It’s is FOODS, NUTRITION and HOME MANAGEMENT MANUEL. It was designed for the school system! It’s actually amazing, what used to be taught in school! I found it at a local thrift store where I live. It’s full of all kinds of recipes and instructions for the home.
So true!
Oh my, that baby boy spraying and cleaning just blessed my heart! 😊❤️🙏🏻
🥰🥰🥰
Your little guy cleaning is too cute! Teach them young.
I've been using this recipe for years, except some of my kids are allergic to "fragrance" which is an ingredient in Felz Naphtha. We use a bar of Dr Bronner's unscented soap instead, and we pour boiling water over the grated soap to melt it really good before adding it to the 5 gallon bucket.
Oh my goodness he is just going to town with that spray bottle. So cute! Thank you for sharing!
so many great ideas Love your little guy cleaning great training for this little guy to learn.
Thank you 🥰
Your toddler cleaning😊❤! Thanks for sharing.
🥰🥰🥰
So inspiring 💕
Thank you 😊
Loved it💜 Going to give it a try! Thanks for doing an essential oil video, would love to see more!
LOVE all of this!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
You're welcome!!
Definitely going to try these!
I make my laundry soap with those same ingredients but without the water and add it dry to each laundry load. I grind the soap bits really small so it melts in the warm water. That body butter looks so luxurious! Tfs
I make a different version but very similar and I love it especially the money I save! I was told to never put it in the washing machine dispenser but add it in the machine itself.
I’m definitely interested in chemical free cleaning products! I hate cleaning I always feel like crap when I’m done (because of all the harsh chemicals)! Thanks for the great tips!
I like the variety in this video!
Thank you 😊
Outstanding! This is by far the easiest liquid laundry soap recipe I have seen! I have made powder soap for 15 years or more, but really would prefer to use liquid. Thank you so much for sharing.
Of course!!
This was so enjoyable and informative! Thank you!
Thank you 😊
I use to make powdered laundry soap, I like your liquid recipe. Think I’m gonna try it. Thank you for sharing your body butter recipe too. Oh & that salad!! Yummy!
I really did enjoy this video. Sending lots of love!
Thank you 😊
I am excited to share that I made my second batch of your homemade laundry detergent and scent booster last night. I have saved a ton of money with this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. I feel as if I won the lottery with all these diy products Lol! Loving it ❤
Yay!! I'm so glad!!!
What a sweet angel!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤ 🌱💖☘
Thank you
I used to do this in college! Make up a massive bucket for the whole dorm to use
Made this laundry soap (no essential oils) and have been Soo happy with it. It's been about 4months using it and I have toddlers that go thru multiple clothes a day because of playing outside lol and it's done amazing getting stains out!
Yay I'm so glad you like it too!!
Do you just dip in to the bucket in order to add to the washer? How much do you do per load? Thanks!
@@tamarap387 I would love to get one of those pretty glass dispensers but for the time being I use an old laundry detergent container that has the little spout and I use I would say anywhere between a fourth of a cup and a half a cup depending on the load, about the same that I would with regular detergent and it has worked out just fine :-)
I love your recipes. I make dry laundry detergent. I make it like yours too. I need to try the dishwashing liquid. You teach me so much I haven't made my whipped body butter in a while The ingredients get so expensive.
I make my own laundry soap and have for years. I used to make it with just baking soda, washing soda, borax, Fels nap bar shredded, and a goat milk bar shredded but now I do all of this minus the goat bar, and I add a box of laundry detergent from the store and only use a tablespoon, so it lasts forever. I know it's not the best, but I had to go to work full time and added 2 more kiddos to the family so I'm doing the best that I can. I do make a lot of your other recipes and love them!
That's great!!
Nice, I've been buying Purell laundry detergent in Mexico since it's about a third of the price of the Purell in the US, but this recipe seems healthier, thanks.
I enjoyed this video. It was relaxing 😊
Enjoyed.
Have you tried making powder laundry detergent with epsom salt, baking soda, washing soda, sea salt & essential oil?! It’s so easy to mix up. No water or grating soap. Lots of recipes on Pinterest
I just made a years worth on Sunday. It cost .37 cents a month! A huge savings!
Been making this washing soap for years! Only thing I wash my clothes with.
Salad with fries on top--Pittsburgh style 😊
Excellent video. I'm glad I found your channel. ✌💜💜💜
Thank you 😊
great video
I love you videos! 🥰 Curious if you would share your honey mustard dressing recipe? Thanks for these great homemade soap recipes!
Yes! It is this recipe, minus the lemon: www.ouroilyhouse.com/lemon-honey-mustard-paleo-dressing-or-dipping-sauce/
Thanks so much!😋🤗🥰
It took me a hot second to realize there was a baby just chilling in your shirt lol
I use the Borax and Washing Soda combo, but instead of Fels Naptha (I do use that as a stain stick) I use liquid Peppermint Castile soap- no shredding and melting required! So easy and quick to make.
Per gallon of water: 3 Tbsp each of Borax, Washing Soda, and liquid Castile soap.
So is fels naptha better for stains then?
Do you just rub directly on the stained clothing with some water?
And just to clarify 3 tbsp borax, 3 tbsp washing soda, 3 tbsp of peppermint castile soap per gallon water.
How many gallons do you usually make at a time?
Does this detergent work in every type of washing machine even the newer ones?
Sorry lol obviously never done all this before!
@@slee7991 Yep, I just wet the stained clothing and rub the Fels Naptha bar onto it, enough that I see a bit of lather.
And the measurements are correct. I make one gallon at a time. I dissolve the Borax and Washing Soda in hot water, just a few cups, then fill the rest of the gallon with cool water. Then I add the Castile Soap. I shake up the gallon container a bit to mix the soap before dispensing it into the washer.
I use this detergent in a newer HE washer, have been for a couple years and it's been working great!
How much would you put for a medium sized load? Would it be about the same as a “traditional” liquid detergent?
@@tmzumba Yes, following the amount recommendations for your washer (regular or HE)
❤
Lovely video Laura! I dont know if its because I live in Canada, but I find the ingredients to make these sorts of things really expensive here. And I buy so few lotions and cleaners that I really dont think it would save us money, unfortunately. I use a lot of vinegar and baking soda for cleaning though! But lovely ideas!
Yes if u buy expensive organic products than diy is cheaper
Otherwise it’s just not
I also live in Canada. I’m really considering doing this homemade laundry soap. The price of the washing soda and borax at a health food store would be so expensive, but you can usually find cheaper options at places like Walmart. I’ve got some old vintage books, with recipes for homemade laundry soap. Apparently the use of washing soda and borax are both used to counteract hard water. Apparently they can actually damage your clothes if they aren’t dissolved properly, or too much is used. So it might be worthwhile to just try dissolving the bar of soap, and using that solution, to cut the cost.
I didn't think of that! It is very inexpensive here in the US. Maybe ordering online would be a better option??
I absolutely love this and want to try. My kids have eczema so I’m always looking for clean laundry soap. Do you have any kind suggestions/ recipe for dishwasher soap?
Yes! m.ruclips.net/video/1nL52GSLnRE/видео.html
Omg Laura! You are the absolute best, thank you so much.
I used to make laundry detergent. Then in Australia where I live they opened an Aldi and they had a cheap laundry liquid for under $2. It did the job and actually didn't make my kids eczema flair.
The lunch looked delicious! Could you tell us the oil that you use in the fryer? We love French fries. Been using an air fryer . No oil. Just a couple sprays of olive oil.
It was lard.
If you want something way simpler, way better and even cheaper make a molly suds dupe.
1 cup baking soda
1 cup washing soda
1/2 cup Epsom salt
You can add scent beads if you wsnt or even essential oils. One tablespoon per load of laundry. Super quick, super cheap and I make a huge batch so it lasts a long time. I started making this when no matter what detergent I used my washer stunk. I have zero stink with this one at all.
I'll have to try that!!
I used to make laundry detergent but, after a while noticed my clothes did not smell clean and they looked dingy. I also am on well water and have a HE washer. Do you think this recipe would work in my situation? I love homemade cleaners and your recipes look good. TFS
I have an HE washer and have been using this same recipe for over 10 years! I haven't had any issues.
Does your dish soap make the water sudsy? I made my own dishsoap with castile soap as well but it wasn't sudsy. Is that just the way it is or am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Love your videos
I had the same issue. Many dish soap brands and several DIY recipes have been tried in our kitchen the past 10 years and my ABSOLUTE favorite is Citrasolv. I buy it by the case to save $. I did all the dishes by hand for 5 years so having a good soap was important!
It does suds up. You only need a very little bit and I just spray a little on each dish. I have another recipe you can try too: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-dish-soap/
I’m single and make my laundry detergent. It saves so much money and is non-toxic.
I'm having issues with this soap recipe becoming very thick and jello like. Do u have any suggestions ? I only have a cold water wash machine so I feel like it doesn't work as well as it would if I had hot.
That's normal! You can put some in a smaller container and shake well.
Do you find the laundry soap works well for cloth diapers? I'd love a cheaper, lower plastic waste laundry detergent but I know diapers can be hard to clean with some
I use my powder soap recipes for cloth diapers. www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-powder-laundry-soap/
Hi Laura, would you consider the laundry soap cloth diaper safe? Also, do you have an all natural floor cleaner recipe?
Thanks, Amanda
I use this for cloth diapers: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-powder-laundry-soap/
And this for my wood floors: www.ouroilyhouse.com/wood-floor-cleaner/
And this for my other floors: www.ouroilyhouse.com/diy-all-purpose-house-cleaner/
I made laundry soap similar to this and it seemed to work for a couple months, but then I noticed clothes weren't getting clean. I did some research and learned that detergent is different from soap, soap needs to be scrubbed into things to get them clean, so these recipes are best for hand washing clothes where you can really scrub. Otherwise you get soap residue build up and clothes don't get properly cleaned.
We have been using this recipe for 11 years and haven't had any issues 🤷🏼♀️
What did you make the fries in?
Lard
I'm so surprised how easy the laundry detergent is!
So the bucket of laundry detergent stays as a wet ingredient to add to the washer? Do you have to stir it before doing each load? How much do you add to each load and how long will a bucket of this laundry detergent last? Sorry for so many questions, but this is brilliant really! Thank you!
Haha no problem!! I get lots of questions about it so I wrote a whole blog post on it: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-laundry-soap-with-essential-oils/
How good does this work with well water? And does it get out cooking oil spatters? I usually have to put some Dreft right on the spots. I don't like using that but it does get the stains out when put through the wash with peppermint Dr Bronners liquid soap & white vinegar rinse.
Are you filling the bucket with cold water or warm water or hot ,ty
Cole water
Have you ever had an issue with this laundry soap messing up your washer? I made this a few years ago and it wouldn't drain. I ended up having to switch back to what I was using. 😢 How do you avoid this?
I personally have not, I have been using this same recipe for 10 years with the same washer. 🤷🏼♀️
Is anyone having trouble getting felsnapha? It was gone at the grocery store and they had taken down the place where it was.
You can make your own: www.ouroilyhouse.com/laundry-soap-bar/
Just watched this vlog and I gave a question...do you have concerns about impurities in fels- naphtha soap. I love that soap for stains but read about how its toxic...so now I don't know whether to use it or not...thank you
You can make your laundry soap bar instead: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-laundry-soap-with-essential-oils/
for a second i thought this was the farmhouse on boone, and then i realized this was not, and then i was like there's no way they're not related. AND LOW AND BEHOLD SHE'S YOUR SISTER. HOLY MILKING COW.
Haha yup!
@@ouroilyhouse you guys look so much alike! almost fooled me! lots of love and many thanks to you and your family. you girls are helping me out big time 🙌🏽
I used to make laundry soap for several years, but after a while, I noticed our clothes were dingy and not "nice" looking. Have you come across this? Do you have any ways to combat?
I use a simpler version of this soap due to a son with allergies, but I've never noticed ours looking too dingy. Although, my kids are still growing and cycle through clothes seasonally just about. But mine seem just fine. Hubby gets filthy at work so there's just no hope for his stuff. Lol
I haven't noticed this either. I have a powdered version on my blog that you could try.
Thank you! I'll check it out💞
Yes! Add a cup of vinegar to the wash load. Works great.
I'd like to try the laundry detergent and hand cream. How much detergent per load? Thanks.
I have Always wanted to make laundry detergent, I just never have.😅I always get inspired by you, Laura.✨
Edit😂 Titus says the same thing about his clothes. He’s a huge duck hunter.☺️
Haha love it! 😊
How long does the laundry soap last for?! Also - do you have specific sets of pans and utensils you use for your DIYs?! - I have started using many of your recipes and love them! Such a blessing! 💛
It will last our family about 6 months! I use the same dishes for DIY's as I do cooking. Expect for soap making!
Can you add pine scent or apple? Deer love apple
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with this recipe, after I added the melted soap (did have a hard time getting it to melt all the way), the mixture became very stringy and chunky. It doesn’t look dissolved or well mixed. Any tips?
It's normal to be thick and gel! Just shake well! I talk more about it here: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-laundry-soap-with-essential-oils/
I recently made the laundry detergent and I have been pleased with how it is cleaning my clothes, but I was concerned with how "natural" the laundry detergent is with the Felsnaptha. When I was cutting up and melting the Felsnaptha, it has a very strong scent. Can anyone speak to the strong scent and it still being non toxic? I've been having a hard time finding much info on Felsnaptha specifically.
You can make your own laundry soap bar if you want! I have a simple recipe: www.ouroilyhouse.com/laundry-soap-bar/
I must’ve done something wrong because the soap still clumped a bit when I melted it. 😩 So now my laundry soap has some clumps too. I only made a half batch, so I’ll do better next time. 😂❤
It is normal for the finish product to me think and gel like. You can pour some into a smaller container and shake it. It is probably fine!
@@ouroilyhouse oh ok. 👍🏻 I did use some in my washing today and it seemed to work just fine! Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Is borax safe for baby laundry? My baby has severe skin eczema..
I use this soap on my babies clothes 💗
I’ve always wanted to try a homemade cleaner for my laundry but have been turned away after reading how a homemade soap builds up on clothing and in the washing machine. Ive seen it said my many people so I feel like there has to be some truth to it?! A soap is unlike a detergent that is specifically make for regular use on clothing and washing machines. Have you noticed any build up on clothing or your machine?
I have not had this issue 🤷🏼♀️
I make my own laundry soap but mine is dry.
Laura I read that borax it’s toxic 😮 so what do you think ?
Thank you 😊
I did lots of research and find it to be a safe product. Here is an article to check out: www.20muleteamlaundry.com/about/ingredients/
I've been using this laundry soap recipe for a couple years now except I use a Dr bronners unscented Castile soap bar to keep it as clean as possible. The problem I have is, after it sits a couple weeks it starts to separate even after stirring. When I get near the bottom of the bucket, I have to refill with water and do this a couple times to use up the thick soap on the bottom. I use up a bucket in less than three months, but sometimes it's like it doesn't get enough soap in the watery part and our clothes come out smelling like puke.
Mine does that too, it's normal 😊
I noticed on your recipe you add glycerin and a few other ingredients you didn't show I guess you ma I different each time
I have a couple different dish soap recipes, the one I shared in the video is the one I use most often because it is the easiest.
please don't do your laundry detergent like that, soap is not good in modern washing machines, in the long run you'll ruin your washer and have residual soap all over your clothes. strip them and you'll see...
I have have heard that but that hasn't been my experience. I have had the same washer since making soap and have used homemade soap for 11 years and never had any problems 🤷🏼♀️
I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused regarding your 100% chemical free in 5 days challenge - Your video starts with the making up of washing detergent by mixing Borax (sodium tetraborate), baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), soap (made up of oil/fat, lye, and water which, through a chemical reaction gives you soap), and water, which in and of itself is made up of hydrogen and oxygen in its purest form. Everything around us is made up of chemical compositions - we are complex carbon life forms with chemical reactions going on inside us all the time; for e.g. our stomachs contain hydrochloric acid which aids digestion... So I'm interested to understand what you mean by 100% chemical free.
I mean toxic free. 😊
@@ouroilyhouse i understood your meaning, harmful chemicals
