On average how many loads can I get out of this recipe? Just trying to see if i can afford the 45$ soap
I have one question... if you are dissolving the salt why does the size of the grains matter? Thank you for helping inform the world about the dangers of everyday used items🙌🥰
Great, awesome recipe!! I love the fragrance, too. How much do we need to use per load?
How much laundry detergent will I need per load please. Thank you
Very watery, but I’m going to try it and see how it works
Thank you sooo much! I am making this as soon as I get all products delivered. You are great!
Thank you! Finally someone that explains how these products are toxic! I appreciate it, very helpful!
thank you! Glad it helped you and thanks for taking your time to leave a nice comment!
Is this home made detergent good for exzema?
@@azadkhawaja can’t hurt to try. Regular stuff is so harsh. I would skip anything with borax powder in any recipe. And Castile soap, like Dr bronners, can be strong-so pick the baby kind? Maybe update, too, bc I’ll bet lots of folks come here for same reasons
You do an awesome job making your videos and marketing as well. This is my first time watching your channel. You are a true blessing ma'am.
Just made this! It was so easy 😊
I love what you're teaching everyone. I'm allergic to sulfates and I have a undiagnosed skin issue ( I haven't seen a dermatologist yet) so I'm definitely going to watch your channel. 😊
WOW! Awesome video. Very informative 👍🏾
Thank you!
My goodness. I just found your channel, and I love it! Thanks for your wonderful channel!!!
This is wonderful and so informative. A lot of Pinterest recipes are full of chemicals. If you’re going to DIY it makes sense to make it non toxic. Love the labels with recipes. Thieves detergent scent seems to stay. One thing I do is add clove and cinnamon EO to wool dryer balls. Those warm scents seem to hang on. People are always asking my kiddos what mom uses to wash their clothes. :) I’m definitely using this recipe as well.
Wow, never thought to put cloves & cinnamon EO in my wool drying balls, thanks for the tip, I will definitely try
I’m so blessed to find your channel I started a clean home journey a year ago is been tough and I saldo agree with adding essential oil on the washer it fades yes it does is a waste I’ve found better Smell results using wool dryer balls and adding oil to them
I love your laundry and dish soap recipes!
Awesomeness, thank you, will try this! Hopefully my husband will like it! Need to order all of the products first. 😅
What a fantastic and informative video. You just got a new subscriber. God bless you.
Well thank you! God bless you, too.
lovely. thank you so much
Thank you so much!
Nice!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. 😊
The Sal suds had sulfate that mentioned twice in its ingredients though. But still better than many other laundry soap.
Thanks for sharing 🌻
Just subscribed!! Trying to detox everything in my life. I used to make my own detergent years ago but got away from it, but now is the time to restart not only this but other things like body wash, shampoos, lotions etc. Thank you for this information!! 🤗
Thank you so much! The journey is fun, hope you enjoy the ride to detoxing your home!
Wonderful just wonderfull
Thank you!!
Love this
Hi everyone ☺️.
I just find your you tube channel because I love Kirsten and Jureg s you tube channel and saw the cute 2 video with Kristen .
I just love your cute family and videos about the Germany life etc.
I wish you a good health , and happy life where ever you go or you are .

Thank you so much, Livia!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Much obliged.
Nice and easy!
Thank You ❤ Subscribed
I would suggest using a leak-proof pitcher so that you can shake the pitcher to re-incorporate the ingredients.
Thank you
Hi I've recently discovered your channel. Love ❤ all the information you provide, such an amazing resource. My daughter is expecting, and she is going to use cloth diapers. Will this keep them white. Or do you have a suggestion.
Hi Deidre! So happy to have you here. No this one won't remove stains. I have a stain remover video here on the channel. But also she can add Hydrogen Peroxide to the wash to help reduce stains. The best thing to do is to wash out the stain right away, spray the stain remover on it, and then wash in the next wash. Here's my stain remover video - ruclips.net/video/SVshXGO3-_E/видео.html
👏👏👏 Thank youuu
I love sal suds.
ty!
God blessuuuu from indiaaa
@my Merry messy German life .I have a qwestion have u used felths naphtha and zote bars soap and what's you're thought on them are they safe
I came by your video while looking for some non-toxic dishwasher soap and have watched a few of your great videos. Thank you so much for all the information. Have you found an equivalent to Sal Suds in Germany as we are heading to continental Europe sometime soon?
I haven't looked for an alternative here, because I haven't needed to. It's really awesome because here in the EU, products are much safer and MUCH cheaper. I can get a nontoxic cleaner for just a few euros!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thank you for your quick reply. Any specific brands? And yes, Europe has stricter regulations for these products so we are happy.
Thank you souch fo this. Do you know if this is "high efficiency"? Thank you
Yes, it is!
Instead of sal suds, can i use something else?
Really want to try this, the only thing holding me back is: does this recipe have any issues clogging the pipes of washing machines over prolonged usage? And how does the detergent perform on whites?
I've never used home laundry soap. I use unscented bought from the store or Tide. Looking to remove toxicity of my home.
Hello nice video thank you. Just wondering how much would you use in a single wash just say for a full load of washing
Im also concerned about the SLS in Sal Suds. I bought it so that I could make the dishwashing liquid. I liked the dishwashing liquid that I made. After reading the ingredients on the Sal Suds bottle. I am not so sure anymore.
Personal question? Are you a henna head, it looks wonderful!
Hi I like your videos. Dr Bonner Sal Suds available in US, I'm in UK. What can I use instead of sal suds?
Thank you
Washing soda.. Better
Can I use epsom salt instead of kosher salt?
Hi Sara!
Thank you so much for these recipes. I’m wondering if you ever added Thieves cleaner to this recipe and if makes a difference.
Hi Carol! I have never added it to this recipe, but I suppose you could!
🙏☺️ Thank YOU for this recipe & this video!!! You got a new subscriber ♥️
Thank you!
I live in Spain, i know for a fact that i cant get those components to make this green detergent, could you recommend alternatives which would be readily available, thanks
What to know about using soap- will it leave soap scum residue on the machine and clothes? What to use? Apple cider or white vinegar? Any thoughts?
Hi thanks for this. So useful. I'm not in USA so we don't have Dr Bonner, but I've just bought some sapone di marsiglia flakes. Do you know how much I would use to substitute the amount of detergent you used here? many thanks
I don’t - I’m not sure how they differ. I’d make a very small batch and experiment!
Be careful putting soap in your washing machine, it can make build up in your machine and your clothes.
How much of the mixture do I use per load. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!🙌🤗
I have the same question.
@@AngelaBertelli I found it in a comment. 1/4 cup for hE and 1/2 for regular. I did the hE and my clothes were clean. 🤗
I just had a horrible experience with Tie laundry detergent. Woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air. I literally felt like I was being strangled. After this horrible experience I don’t want to use any of those toxic detergents anymore. Thank god I found this video 😊
I am highly allergic to many popular laundry detergents. Tide is the worst. I'm so sensitive to it I can tell by being close to someone if they use it on their clothes. Bounce, Downy, Snuggle are just as bad. When my neighbors are doing laundry I can't sit outside because it will trigger an asthma attack from the vapors in the air.
I understand everyone is different, but Tide has never bothered my sensitive skin, actually it's the cheaper budget brands like Foca and Purex that gives me hives.
You may want to get a sleep study. Waking suddenly during the night sounds like an episode of sleep apnea. Or, could be an allergic reaction to the detergent, but I would check anyway!
Someone else is using “arm and hammer laundry booster” (unknown here in the Netherlands). Is that good?
Could I get details for purchasing your book please?
Hi! I just read the ingredients of sal suds and it contains sulfates. How is this any different from the rest of the sulfates you describe?
I love how simple this recipe is. Curious how you came up with it and why you don’t use common ingredients such as borax and washing soda?
I just ran into your video other people use borax and washing soda you did not say how much to use per load and where to purchase DrBonners soap Thank you
@@lorisfagan6955 She answered this question below. 1/3 cup. I had the same question. 🙂
I'm curios of the shelf life using water without a preservative? Or, could a preservative be used? Thanks!!!
What makes the sal suds much more stronger and concentrated than Castile soap? Thanks for this very informative video.
Great question! It's a stronger surfactant - it suds up WAY more than Castile Soap so it is better able to grab ahold of particles and remove them. Castile Soap is much better for using as a hand and body soap.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Sals is great for DIY cleaning. I’ll have to subscribe and see if you have cleaning product recipes. I’m new here.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLifeis there an alternative to Sal Suds? I’m concerned about the SLS in this product.

Im also concerned about the SLS in Sal Suds. I bought it so that I could make the dishwashing liquid. I liked the dishwashing liquid that I made. After reading the ingredients on the Sal Suds bottle. I am not so sure anymore
I’ve made a different laundry soap and it dulled my clothes and my towels lost there absorbency. What makes this different? Is Sal suds considered a soap or detergent?
I just saw a video about that same issue. If you do get a response, I would love to know.
Which one is cheaper? This recipe or the dry one?
- 6cups lukewarm- hot water.
- 4 tbs kosher salt (large granules will thicken soap)
- 2 cups of dr bronners soap
I was looking for this .. Thanks
Pretty sure she said 2-1/4 cup Sal Suds
How much is used per load?
@@blueazucena1 Oh sorry about that! It’s 1/3 cup for a regular load in an HE washer.
Hello
Thank you for your video
I was wondering if you have a substitute for salt to thicken the detergent
Because if we recycle our grey water, we need to avoid salt
Thank you for your time 😊
Hi! I don’t know if a good substitute, but you don’t need it for the recipe to work well. It’ll be a thinner consistency but that doesn’t affect the performance. So I’d just take out the salt.
Xanthium gum pinch by pinch
Just use smaller amounts of straight dr. Bronners....let washing machine do the diluting!
People need to wake up and realize this truth!!!
Hay can u make cheap liquid detergent for dishes that keeps glasses and silverware sparkling nice ...if so send me a link to follow ...ur so cool....thank u stanley...
Don't know how much it's saving 128ounces is almost 50 bucks! Anyway how much of it do you use for a full load wash?
How much goes in the washer?
How does it smell?
How much do you use per load? Thanks!! I'm definitely going to make this.
For HE washers: 1/4 cup, top loaders: 1/2 cup.
Thank you
Hi! Video was very informative. Is this detergent recipe hard on the clothes at all? I have heard that other products like borax and or baking soda can wear out the clothes.
I've been using Borax and Washing Soda for years and never seen any damage on my high quality clothes made of natural fibers.
Baking soda softens water.
How much do you use on a load? I'm sorry if you said and I missed it. Thank you.
How much do you put in the w ashing machine? 1/4 cup?
Thank you for explaining just how toxic the store-bought detergents are. It’s terrifying when you realize all of these carcinogens and chemicals are in these products that we use every day. I’m glad people are beginning to wake up to the corporate corruption. Any small thing I can do to cut some of these corporations out of my life I will gladly do. Making your own cleaning products and body soaps out of natural products is a great first step.
I just found this recipe and it looks like a great alternative to the DIY recipes on youtube! Just a question though, would I be able to safely mix/melt in a laundry booster like borax or washing soda, or even oxi clean? I live in a complex where we can only wash with cold water and I neeeeeed all the boosts I can get to clean our messy family's clothes! So throwing them in as powders is not an option
I make homemade laundry soap using a Fels Naptha bar (grated) laundry soda and borax. I add it to water in a stock pot and dissolve over low heat until all is mixed well. This works great in cold water washes.
@@cherylwilber9648 naphtha has carcinogen
Hi how does this compare to using Sal suds neat as it says on the bottle ?
You'll end up wasting Sal Suds as it's super concentrated, but I guess you could use just a little bit and it might be similar. This recipe makes it so that it's very thick and easier to pour.
Thank you 😊 that’s great 👍🏼 I was concerned I was using it quickly.
Can you share with us which reverse osmosis unit you have. Thank you so much!
Hi! I think it was a GE one from Home Depot. Sorry, we’ve moved so I can’t check for you!
Can be used in washing machine????
Does anyone know if this is safe for he washers?
Okay I watched 2x and didn’t catch it! How much of this liquid soap do we use for our loads? Small, reg or large?
Oh sorry about that! It’s 1/3 cup for a regular load in an HE washer.
Jesus loves you 💓 thanks for the recipe!
Hello, how much do you use per load? Is it the “regular” used in store bought detergents. I’m making this tomorrow. Thanks.
For anyone interested, I’ve learned you need no more than a 1/4 cup for a load. Half of that if it’s a small load (HE washing machine). I’ve also learn you can use 2 tablespoons of sal suds alone which is 1 3/4 caps. I’ve done that as well. Both ways work well.
Thank you for this
@@susylopez9308 thank you. I like the idea of adding water and salt to make it last longer.👍
Hi love the recipes 👍but how much to use per wash please 🙏🏼?
Sure! I/3 cup
How much do you use per load and what size load????
Hi, so u bought the 16oz sal suds bottle by mistake. Will it still work if I use 2 cups of sal suds instead of 2 1/4 cups?
I think it’ll still work well! If you want to be on the safe side, then reduce the water by a little bit, too.
I too am looking for how much to use per load?? Did anyone get an answer to that question?
One of the main ingredients in Sal Suds is SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) and it's known to be a skin, lung, and eye irritant. You said you avoid commercial detergents because they contain sulfates and then added sulfates to your recipe. I'm confused.
She doesn’t reply to this ??
Sodium lauryl sulfate differs from sodium laureth sulfate. The label on sal suds explains better than I can.
I’m wondering if people don’t realize it’s an ingredient in sal suds. Because it marketed as safe and sold by Dr Bronners, I was VERY surprised just to find that out for myself just a few days ago.
I understand but if people insist on using diy laundry liquid, sal suds is a DETERGENT not a soap. Modern washing machines are made for detergent.
And it's still probably not as toxic as store bought detergent, to each their own.
Your recipe looks simple and easy, but I have no clue how much to " NOT USE" 😄. I hate when i use too much and then you end up with a film on your hands if they're wet. I love your pitcher too, might have to get one. One other thing, I love the idea of the labels and the recipe on the other side, but I'm kinda not into the flowers, I'd like a simple black and white label. Can you create a simple one for those of us non flower people? New home, new simple decor. Thanks so much for sharing.😘
I have course sea salt. Will that do?
Thanks for the video. Did I miss how much of the recipe you should use per load? I know with powdered DIY's most people say 1-2 tablespoons. Is it the same for the liquid??
I need to know also
!-2 TBLS ????
@@bmac6426 Thank You!! 🥰
I’ve done this and it’s great but why does my glass pitcher get so rusty after a few months anyway to stop this ?
Does anyone know if Epsom salts would work?
Hello, the video is very informative. I have a question, I am not able to get sal suds as it is unavailable in India. Could you suggest me something else which I can use and is available and non toxic? Also can you post a video on how to make a detergent powder instead of going for detergent liquid?
Love from India🇮🇳
Hello! Wonderful to have you here. I hope we can visit India one day! Yes so if you can't get Sal Suds, do you have a natural hand dish soap you can buy there? That would work.
Also, I do have a video on how to make powered laundry detergent! Check it out here - ruclips.net/video/ZdcNTYizChg/видео.html
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Ah! We would be happy If you Visit India one day. Don’t you think taking dishwash soap would be toxic, because there’s no natural dishwash soap.
Sal Suds have sulfates. But you can use the other surfactants in the product, separately, they are derived from coconut.
does the amount of water you use matter? using a bigger jar, does it affect the measurements of ingredients?
Yes if you use more water but don’t increase the other ingredients proportionally, it’ll be diluted.
What can be a good alternative to dr bronner's sal sud? 🤔
Any natural dish soap would probably work well.
is there n expiration date to this < like how long does this last?
I’ve had it last many months with no problems, but I didn’t do any mold checks on it or anything. But if you’re concerned you may not use it up in a month or two after making it, then I’d cut the recipe in half.
Can I use this soap in place of a He soap?
Hi! Yes, to use it in an HE washer, use 1/4 cup.
Question: can you sub sal-suds with Castile soap?
No you really can’t - it doesn’t clean clothes well at all. It’s better for basic household cleaning and washing the hands and body.
Can you recommend a reverse osmosis filter?
Sure! We have one we got at Home Depot, but had to take it out, so now I don't remember which brand it was. It was a popular, well-known brand.
How much do you use? For example, a load of towels for a family of 4? Thank you.
Oh sorry about that! It’s 1/3 cup for a regular load in an HE washer.
I just made it but it's much thicker than regular detergent or even other diy recipes, should I add more water or this is normal? TIA
Well it’s fine as long as you can pour it out and use it. Is that the case?
Is there an alternate for the pine scent? Can't do pine
Oh sure! They have other scents and even non-scented.
Just use clear bowls so people can see it . Also is it safe for He machines ? How much do u use each time for one load ? Thanks
I use about 1/3 of a cup per load in an HE machine.
