Ellen, I am a fairly new soap maker, and actually I tend to make everything but bars of soap. I consider you my Professor. I love your style, your attitude, your willingness to share and teach without charging any fees. I love that you are always sharing where to get good deals on ingredients and tools. You are a rare one here on RUclips and I'm just so thankful for you. Please never stop teaching and sharing what you are up to in your soap studio. Thanks so much for your bright light here on the tube.
Wow, thank you!🥰🌼
100% agree, I consider Ellen my teacher too. Thank you!❤️🙏
Ellen you can also take baking soda and put it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven on low for 200 keep an eye on it think I was told to keep it in the oven for a few hours and it's basically what washing soda is:) Hope that helps!
Vegetable glycerin will help it from separating!
Yes!!
Very thankful to the Lord.
Will be making this soon! I’m so excited!
Definitely going to try making this!
Excellent recipe! Thank you!
Mrs. Ellen your turning into the ultimate homesteader. And I’m loving it!!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much🌼
I made detergent. Thank you for laundry detergent recipe. Mine tuned out perfect!
Thank you you have been very helpful
I love this… this is definitely a must try ❤❤
Hope you enjoy🌼
So beautiful!
Thanks for sharing! I think you are the G.O.A.T of soapmaking!
Wow, thank you!🌼🥰
Thank you for sharing this i absolutely love watching your videos.I will defiantly be trying this out😊xx
You’re welcome 😊🌼
Thank you❤
Hi Ellen
This is truly the best laundry power recipe. Even my daughters loved it
Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! I am so happy with the great job it does cleaning our clothes!
You are so welcome!
Intresting videos very valuable.
Omg Ellen, you are so creative. I love watching your channel!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Send you love from GA💕
Thank you so much!🌼
Thank you Ellen! Wonderful video as always. I need to try this soap!🎉 greetings from Guatemala!
Have fun making🌼
Wow! I can’t wait to try this! You are so calming to watch. I hope you never stop making videos.😊
Thank you so much!
I DID make this recipe and it did an amazing job of cleaning my laundry! Very impressive. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the video, Ellen ❤
Thanks🌼
Thank you so much for such an informative video. Your explanations were great. It helped me a lot. -
Glad it was helpful!🌼
I am glad you shared these recipes! I make soaps and am glad to see these. I make whipped laudry soap (has no suds but cleans well) but wanted to make liquid as well as powdered and now I have it!😊 Thanks again!!
Dear Ellen you are so so so good teacher, blessings to you and your family
I just made my second round of this laundry soap and I love how easy and cheap it is to make and works as good if not better then store bought! Thank you for this Ellen! love all your videos
Great video, Ellen!
Thanks for watching🌼
This recipe is amazing! My ratios were close, but a little heavier on the soap gratings. It’s worked so well on my laundry that, when confronted with cleaning a patch of concrete in my garage where friends had hung their deer a few days before, I grabbed this laundry soap, dissolved it and drizzled it on the stain. It came up in seconds with just a couple passes of a push broom. Thank you for sharing your recipe!❤❤❤
I have seen many videos of how to make laundry soap and I really love this video. This one is my favorite thank you for sharing and the extra tips. I hope you get more likes and followers 🤗
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I was so happy to see one of your videos pop up while looking for tips on DIY laundry soap. And how cool to see the ease of making it a liquid detergent! We have well water so I always have to use a little extra soap and I add borax to each load. I like this idea of it all being in one mix, do I don’t feel like a mad scientist with all my soaps and additives each time I do a load of laundry 😅
I hope you give it a try ❣️
I am so glad you made this video!! I saw Elly’s Everyday, I think like 2 years ago, and haven’t made any detergent yet🙈 And I have a bunch of coconut soap I made for that purpose- it’s well past time for me to just do it😅
Hope you like it!🌼
What a blessing you are for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for all you do for the soaping community and us new soapers!! I continue to search your videos for information and learn so much from you.
Thank you so much!🌼
I absolutely love all your videos. Thank you for sharing and educating us all on how to be more self sufficient. Your amazing!
Thank you so much!
Awesome
Every attempt at liquid detergent eventually gels up on me, which I hate. Love this powder recipe. Will give it a try. Thank you!
I LOVE learning from you, Ellen, you truly give freely and with all of your heart. That shines through on what you are sharing and are willing to take the time to share with us. I love your videos and how you teach ❤
Thank you so much!🌼
@@EllenRuthSoap ❤
Thank you, Ellen! This video was as wonderful as your other ones, but also unique. We all appreciate you! 💕
You are so welcome!💕
Thsnk you for this awesome video! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Also, is there a thickening agent I can add to the liquid version to prevent separation? I use xanthan gum in my Zote-based formula, but it increases the viscosity over time, which sucks.
Glad you enjoyed it!🌼
I don't like to add more ingredients, so I just give it a shake😉
best tutorial I've found so far to make your own detergent. you are a very articulate and concise teacher.. truly excellent
Thank you 🥰💕
I love this idea. I’ve been making soap for a long time. I’ve accumulated bucket loads of soap shavings from bevelling soap. Honestly, bucket loads… do you think I could use these soap shavings in your recipe. I no longer know what shavings were which soap lol. Yes they’re chock full of ingredients and some colour.
You certainly could use the scraps for this. I just prefer the 0% super fat soap for it's cleansing..
Oh my, this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Definitely going to try this. I was pleasantly surprised at the end when you turned the powder into liquid. Blessings.
I have been looking for a good laundry soap recipe and this one looks awesome. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you like it as much as I do🌼
Ellen, I so appreciate this recipe! I lost my original powered laundry soap recipe and had all of these ingredients laying around. You are a total lifesaver! Thank you so much
Thanks 💕 Have fun making.
I love this!
This is GREAT!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your recipe with us!!!!
You are so welcome!🌼
Yes Thank you for All the good Information❤from Germany
This is the best laundry soap recipe I have ever tried! Ellen, you are so kind to share these wonderful gifts with all of us! I will never buy commercial laundry soap again❤️
Thank you so much!🥰
Thank you for all the tips, tricks and great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yours is the video I’ve been waiting for! I have been wanting to make laundry soap for about a year and I’ve been looking for help on RUclips but today I found the one that I want to make❤ thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us soapers❤
You are so welcome!
@@EllenRuthSoapso the powder should be used with a warm wash in a front loader? Just checking, thank you!!
@@lesley-anngilmore7524 Yes 👍
I just love your channel! I’m a nurse, working full time, a soap maker for the past 12 years ( my mom has a local store) and you are a joy to watch. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you 🌼❣️
Thank you for so detailed video. I'm impressed with packaging, labeling, look very clean and on the point. I have a few questions for you: first - what brand your blender is and second, what kind of pencil or pen you use for your black labels. I have several paper sheets of same looking black steackers, but can't make them work.
My stick blender is a Sencor, but they aren't in stock any longer. And I use a cannon printer for my labels.
Thank you Ellen. Was planning to make laundry soap, but didn't how to tackle it. This is a great way to get started. It will save me a lot. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!🌼
Love love love this recipe, packaging and well just everything. Ellen you are such a gem and adore you and your vids. 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!🌼
Love it Ellen! Thank you ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Ellen, I just stumbled on your videos while searching for laundry detergent recipes. Now I am binging on your videos and am so inspiried! At first, I was wondering why you would give away your recipes but now I get it. Even if I do decide to try out a few, there is no way I would make all of the ones that I would want and you have just acquired a new customer!!! Love your openess and passion for soap making. Can't wait to try your products! Now, the only problem is which ones to try first! lol
Welcome!! So glad you found me❣️ Enjoy making!
This recipe will definitely be replacing my Zote recipe because yours is vegan friendly. Thanks again, Ellen 😊
You are so welcome!❣️
Wow, this is amazing, I have to try this! Thank Ellen 😊
Hope you like it!🌼
That's great, thanks so much Ellen. Your channel is growing so much! Fabulous
Thanks so much!🌼
Thank you Ellen. This is so helpful and I love the way you took pains to explain everything clearly.
One question - could we not use cold process, zero superfast, DISH soap grated up for this recipie? Thank you in advance.
Yes you can! I think the 0% S.F. Is the key😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you Ellen for confirming. That's what I was thinking too 😊
thank you for your (as usual) upbeat and precise instructions- please advise: how can i make this recipe into a laundry gel?
Thanks❣️ I’m not sure how to make a gel out of this formula.
@@EllenRuthSoap wish me good luck- I will experiment and if/ when I succeed I’ll share with you😊as you share these amazing videos so generously with all of us
How cool...I would love to try and make this. God bless Ellen 😊
You should!🌼
So I love this recipe for whites and light colors. I do question the liquid formula only because I know with percarbonate, once it mixes into water, it activates, and only stays activated for a couple hours or so based off my own research. I’m assuming that’s why you got the foaming at the end when you mixed it. do you think it is worth putting the percarbonate in the liquid solution or maybe saving money and making a solution without the percarbonate, or just mixing your powder in with warm water and then throwing it in your tub just before you start your darks. Just some thoughts and opinions , absolutely love this mixture and has been doing wonderful for me !
Hey Ellen 👋 Could you add dried vinegar powder to the base? I wonder how that would turn out. Thank you, as always, for so generously sharing your knowledge!
Oh, that sounds like an intriguing idea❣️ I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it.
Hi, Ellen, I love your video so much!!!!❤ I definitely give it a try!
So glad!🌼
Thank you for sharing this soap is great. I do have a hair press that works perfectly I just swipe it once from end to end it so much easier then pulling out ol' Blue my heat press.
Thanks so much for all you do! I may make my first batch with an already grated soap. I saw that Zote has one and there's another made with tallow. Do you think the grated tallow based soap would be ok? Thanks again!!
Yes, tallow soap will be great in this👍
Perfect!!! Thanks so much for the speedy reply!!@@EllenRuthSoap
Hi! I made this soap just like you did. I LOVE it! I ended up making a huge amount! I am wondering if you have ever used fragrance oils in it? If so, how did that turn out?
I haven’t used fragrance oils yet, but I’m sure they’d be great👍
I really enjoy watching your videos…very informative and helpful. I’m just starting out in soap making and bath products. I’m in Australia so will try to make,the homemade detergent too, just need to find the brands to match the ones your using. Regards Jill
Another amazing video Ellen Ruth
Hello Ellen loved it as always great class thank you. I have a question can we use that soap for our body after it cures for 4 or 6 weeks? Kathy from Cali.😎
With a 0% super fat, it would not make a great body bar... If you increased it to a 10% or 20% super fat, it's a falbulous body soap.
Hi Ellen, beautiful video, checking if this detergent powder can be used for both colored and white clothes. Many thanks.
Yes, I use it for both👍
Ellen now I know what happened to my ACV soap, it has soda ash on top how do I fix that ? thank you
Ellen, I love your citrus dish soap, and now this laundry detergent as well. Thank you so much for being so generous with your knowledge. I’m curious, have you ever made dishwasher pods? I’m playing around with a few recipes but so far have not been 100% happy with any of them.
I haven't tried dishwashing tabs yet, but I'm curious to try.
im using washing soda, baking soda, kosher salt and lemon juice. I think it recipe cleans well, I like the absence of chemicals, but it leaves a white film on the glasses. I could use your genius mind…..😊💗
Also, I wanted to say, I’m making your conditioner bars, your body lotion, and your caffeine eye cream and love them all. Again thank you so much for sharing your recipes….they are pure luxury while being safe to use. I’m grateful to you.
I am reading that if you add citric acid to the dish soap it takes away the film!
Fantastic!
Thankyou Ellen I made a batch today of both liquid and powder I'm going to give it a try tomorrow I've never been so excited to do laundry 😂😂 I'll let you know how I get on can't wait.
Thank you
Giiirl!!!! I love that ur making this! I’ve been homemaking our laundry detergent since 2020! I use zote, fels naptha, baking soda, laundry soda, oxy clean, borax and gain scent boosters and we looove it. One big batch lasts us about 3 months and costs us about the same as one big bottle of gain! I’m definitely going to try this tho! Looks amazing
Yes👍 Homemade is so good, and buget friendly❣️
you can buy "gain" fragrance oil from wholesale supplies plus😊
Hello Helen thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I have tried your grocery store soap recipe and was super proud of myself. Today I tried your detergent, I washed with it and my clothes came out nice and clean! Thanks for being such an amazing teacher. I’m a new soaper and still trying to understand the ingredients in percentages.
Can you tell me, did they smell good too? I love my clothes to have a fresh scent and I would really like for them to smell like I want if I make this. Thank you in advance for your information.
Yes Ma’am, they smell fresh and clean!!
@@nicolewilliams7284 Thank you! I'm so excited to make MY VERY OWN detergent. I absolutely love Ellen Ruth!
Ellen would a basic white melt and pour soap work with this since its similar and has coconut oil?
I've not tried this with MP, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it.
i love all of your videos, how much if the powder and liquid do you use for a load?
I use 1/8 = 1/4 cup depending on how dirty or large the load is.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you
I can’t wait to try out your recipe! Ordering my ingredients this morning. Thank you for being so open in sharing your recipes and techniques. You have quickly become my fave channel for relevant information and enjoyable, relaxing to watch content💕
P.S. I’ve been a soap and product maker myself for 35+ years.
Thank you so much🥰
Hi Ellen, thanks for the video and recipe(s). I've been making it with grated soap, borax and washing soda. Hope to try yours next time. If you were adding essential oils after making the powder, how much would you add? Thanks
You could add another 9 ml to the powder, but I wouldn't over do it too much...
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks. I was thinking to just add it to the powder instead of the soap.
New to your channel. You know your stuff lady! Great instructions, and a lot of attention to detail! Great tips!
Thanks so much! And welcome💕
I'm planning on making this laundry soap, thank you. I already have a product called Oxy Clean whose ingredients are: Disodium carbonate ; Sodium percarbonate , Alcohols, C12-15, ethoxylated. Do you think I can use this in space of the sodium percarbonate in your recipe? Thanks!
Yes, you can use that for personal use... If you are marketing or selling your product, you can't use a "name brand" as an ingredient.
I absolutely love your channel ❤️ I really enjoy your sweet demeanor and all your great advice.
Thank you so much!
Hi Ellen - how did you come up with the amounts for the additives i.e. washing soda, sodium percarbonate, borax etc. Did you use a percentage of each?
It was a lot of trial and error, testing, and found the amounts that I think work the best😉
Enjoyed the video and will have to try the recipe! Question about the label: Do you need to add the lye and coconut oil to the ingredient list as it was part of the soap that was grated into it?
No, you don’t need to put the soap ingredients, just label as soap.
Hi Ellen,
Can i use a colloidal silver soap bar? Also do i need to use borax/substitute? I’m thinking of making my own and selling on
I've not made this with a colloidal silver soap, so I can't really speak to that. I suggest making a very small test batch and see how you like it.
I definitely loved this video, Ellen!❤️ Thank you very much for sharing so much knowledge.
My mama has serious allergies and she can't use laundry detergent because it's always scented, so this is a great idea to make unscented laundry detergent just for her. I love a good 100% soap, so I am sure it will be fun making this. Thank you, Ellen, God bless you!!🙏🙏🙏 We never stop learning from you ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!🌼
Thank you new subscriber
Thanks for subbing!💕
Hi Ellen, could you make a liquid version using KOH?
I am researching liquid soaps and formula's👍
Ellen! You are the best! Thank you so much for this recipe! I have been using Ellys recipe for many years now and recently saw your video. I wanted to ask, do you think it would be ok to do a 1:1 ratio with washing soda and grated soap? (And leave all other ingredients the same)Then i would only need 1tbsp for each load? Ellys is a 1:1 with the washing soda &soap. But doesnt use the other ingredients and only uses 1 tbsp. (For the recipe ive been using) I wondered if you think this would work upping the soap portion? Thanks so much for all your helpful videos! You have taught me so much over the years and i truly appreciate all your time spent teaching us! I still believe you are the Martha Stewart of the soap world! ❤
This recipe is flexible, you can adjust the soap up a bit, and tweak the ratios a bit... I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it.
Thank you! Im going to try your recipe first and see how that works out! Thank you so much!
Hi, I’ve made this type of laundry soap before; however, the question I have is, with all of these various ingredients that must be purchased, can you make it for less per ounce than what you can buy a natural manufactured laundry detergent per ounce or per a one load amount? Hmmm…. Well, thanks for sharing. I make fragrance free, but I like the idea of adding the lemon essential oil.
Yes, after purchasing all the individual ingredients and making a large batch, it's cheaper to make homemade.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe ! Can this be made without borax and percarbonate?
I find those ingredients important, but you could try a small test batch without them and see how you like it.
@@EllenRuthSoap I tried it and it’s wonderful. Just a quick question the coconut soap even though I grated it seems to be clumping up in the washing machine attachment where we put the powder. How can I avoid that ?
Thank you for sharing! I did not know this about the sodium-pre carbonate. 🎉 God bless you, Ellen!
You are so welcome🌼
Sodium percarbonate not precarbonate. I'm looking through comments checking if its okay for small children and sensitive skin. Had to check up what you wrote i was confused when you said precarbonate.
@@michellewhite6992 I dictate most of my messages. I typed the wrong thing, but ordered the right thing. Thank you. 🥰🙏
Ellen Ruth Soap, would you use this detergent for dishes?? Thank you for all your great videos!
I haven't tried it for dishes, so I'm not sure?? Might be worth a try💗
I made the detergent and it works well.Can you use this with liquid bleach while washing clothes since it contains the sodium percarbonate? Thanks.
Yes you can👍
Does anyone know how much of this you would use per load? I have an HE front load washer.
I use 1/8-1/4C per load depending on size
I know you used a special recipe for your cold process but would it be possible to use regular cold process bars that you have laying around?
Yes👍
I have been making my own laundry soap for quiet some time def a money saver❤
Yes👍
Could I add this to bleach safely to enhance the cleaning power of the bleach . Would it act as a surfactant in the bleach ?
I haven't tried that. I suggest trying a small bit and see how you like it.
Do you have a recipe for safe and nonflammable laundry booster oil to use on wool dryer balls? For an extra boost of scent to on clothes and dryer? Thanks I hope you can help! I have been researching for a safe recipe using fragrance oils, but no luck!
I have a few fragrance oils I want make to use in laundry detergent and scent booster oil on dryer balls. I have only seen recipes using essential oils which I am not using. Please help! Thanks ❤
I don't, but I've heard of using essential oils on them..
I’m so glad you’re using metric measurements as my country hasn’t used imperial measurements for decades. It’s so much more accurate when measuring small quantities.
