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🙌🥰
@@Khawajaazad 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
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.
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. 😊
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!! 🤗
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!
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.
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’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 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 . All the best to you guys . Livia From Canada
It’s not Dr Bronners Dr Bronners is a SOAP Machines need a detergent Sals Suds is a detergent If u have a top loading agitator machine, soap may work for u It def doesn’t for all the others
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
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.
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.
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 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?
Would like to know how this affects washers compared to other DIY products. I did not know this until recently, but most DIY laundry soaps (Zote) are only good for handwashing with scrub boards and will ruin machinery over time, voiding any warranties. It you are going to use industrial machinery, you have to use it with products made for the purpose. So, do you know whether Sal Suds fits the bill on that one?
Sal Suds is considered a detergent. Not oil based as a true soap is. Dr Bronner's website has lots more information about this & on Lisa Bronner's blog. Check out the difference between detergent and soap, both are surfactants but work differently, serve a different purpose.
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.
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
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.
my concern is that salsuds has Sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS) in the ingredients. I bought SalSuds after watching your video, but after reading the ingredients on Sal Suds bottle how is (SLS) not toxic? I looked at the EWG and they are saying borax and SLS is not good for you. I did make your recipe and have to say the dishwashing soap came out incredible. II really liked your receipe. 'm just concerned now on the SAL SUDs. What are your thoughts. Maybe I need to do further research.
SLS is in our Sal Suds all purpose cleaner, and here’s what we say about it on the bottle: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant that cuts grease and dirt, generates copious suds, and biodegrades quickly and completely. SLS is made by combining a sulfate group with lauryl alcohol from coconut oil, then attaching sodium. If improperly formulated, SLS can irritate skin, but our superb formula uses coco-betaine and lauryl glucoside to counter this. Sal Suds is a mild, synthetic detergent, not a body care product. SLS does not, and never has, appeared in any of our soaps since the saponified vegetable oils in our Castile Soaps are much, much better for our skin, and can be certified organic. SLS is synthesized (read “man made” or “processed”) even though it does have a coconut base.
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.
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.
@josephinealanis9870 0 seconds ago 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
Soap is not a detergent. The sal suds is a detergent and works similar to actual laundry detergent for modern washing machines. Soap will cause build up and keep soap scum in your laundry over time.
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
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’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.
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 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.
Hello choose 3 of the following ingredients for me to combine to make an effective powdered laundry detergent: 1. Baking soda 2. Washing soda 3. Borax 4. Oxiclean versatile stain remover
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Thank you ! You are awesome ! Such a superwoman ! I don’t know when you get the time to do all this with those handsome guys you got !

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.
@@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.
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...
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.
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

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.
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

If improperly formulated, SLS can irritate skin, but our superb formula uses coco-betaine and lauryl glucoside to counter this.
Sal Suds is a mild, synthetic detergent, not a body care product. SLS does not, and never has, appeared in any of our soaps since the saponified vegetable oils in our Castile Soaps are much, much better for our skin, and can be certified organic. SLS is synthesized (read “man made” or “processed”) even though it does have a coconut base.
lovely. thank you so much
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.
Thank you souch fo this. Do you know if this is "high efficiency"? Thank you
Yes, it is!
Thank you!!
Does anyone know if this is safe for he washers?
I would like to add essencial oil, but I don't know how many drops ... someone give me an opinion? 😊
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.
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!
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.

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.
Question: do you need to strip your clothing of build up every so often with using this detergent?
No I found I didn’t have to, but I might depend on the type of water you have.
Hello choose 3 of the following ingredients for me to combine to make an effective powdered laundry detergent:
1. Baking soda
2. Washing soda
3. Borax
4. Oxiclean versatile stain remover
Can you please give ratio how many cups of each?
@@krazyfoever this isn't something I'm recommending I'm asking a question
How much do you put in the w ashing machine? 1/4 cup?
What can be a good alternative to dr bronner's sal sud? 🤔
Any natural dish soap would probably work well.
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.

Thank you and continue to do these and praying you get your own “ camera man or men “ in the near future . Have a glorious day ! 🙏😊
How much do I need for 1 load?
How much do you use per load and what size load????
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.
Thank you! What about Castile soap or Epsom salt?
Thank you so much!
Nice!!! Thank you so much!
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...
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.
Will it work in a (HE) washer?
Definitely!
Why do you use kosher salt? what difference does it make, except for paying more for the salt?
I’m not sure chemically why we need Kosher salt but all I know is the solution doesn’t thicken if I use anything other than Kosher salt.
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.
Did I miss something about how much to use per load?
👏👏👏 Thank youuu
