    I finally made this. I used an old minute made juice jug, 2.63 L. I also made my own washing soda. To make your own washing soda, you take baking soda spread it out evenly on a baking tray, bake it at 400 degrees for 1 hour, take it out to cool completely. Then put in a glass jar for later use.... I found that recipe online. Use parchment paper to make it easier to lift off the baking sheet and empty into a glass jar...

    Just an observation - as you are already boiling the water and measuring out the water in 2 cup increments, you could add the borax in one of the 2 cups and dissolve before adding it to the jug, and do the same with the washing soda with the second 2 cup measurement of boiling water. That should take care of that undissolved stuff at the bottom of the container.

    Love, love, love Dawn! It comes in handy for so many things in my kitchen, laundry room and garage. It's one of the best degreaser on the market in my humble opinion as well. Being that I've made this in a pinch a few times, my tip would be to save yourself the time of all the individual measuring process... I Boil the amount of water that my storage jug might hold add the soda & borax put it on a low heat and stir until all he powder has dissolved. Allow it to cool down while I tackle other projects then come back and add my dawn. I like my potion to be a bit richer then a half cup offers so I usually go with 3/4 to a cup depending on the how soiled my wash load I'm going to do is. I don't use much fabric softener due to respiratory and skin issues so I replace that with vinegar which cuts any soap curds and also keeps my machine running well and clean as well as managing that musty order that comes from build up if you're not running a vinegar cycle at least once a month, under control. A cost effective tip on the Dawn is to do a price search on the gallon size. The first time I went gallon size, I was able to purchase a case of 4 gallons of the professional pots & pan formula. One gallon of it literally took me through a year and that is with washing dishes, all purpose cleaning, carpet cleaning, laundry, and home made degreasing. I got lucky and found the gallon size for 17.00 each on Walmart online and 4 came to the case, best $68.00 bucks I ever spent. Then I ran across another sale for $11.00 and brought 6 cases of the stuff and blessed a few friends with them and I still have 8 gallons left to date. Talk about a deal of all deal's, I was Happy Happy!!!

    Thank you! This is the easiest recipe I have seen for DIY Laundry Soap! Especially liquid soap...most are more involved. If you have Baking Soda....all you have to do is spread it out on a baking sheet ....put in 400 degree oven for 1 hour..let it cool. You have Washing Soda now! lol. That way you dont have to buy anything extra. You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper ...might make it easier to transfer to a jar or bottle. lol. I just saw that someone else already said this! Sorry! 🤪

    This recipe is way simpler than one using Zote soap flakes (or grinding your own flakes from a fels naphtha bar) combined with washing soda, and borax. These always ended up thickening up too much for me after resting overnight and were also gloppy even with adding more water than stated. I will be very happy to try this. I usually make 3 gallons at a time and have more than enough for an entire year. The cost is extremely cheap compared to commercial laundry soaps.

    • @sandysue202

    Great to try with non scented dish soap for sensitive skin, add a cup of choice scent fabuloso. The perfume is less irritating and scent on clothes is quite pleasant. Also consider letting solution sit before adding cold water but if you don't have time, place the container in a bucket and run water as Paula did. Rather than wasting the suds that contains soap you can use it to wash dishes thro7ght the day, mop floor, or place in a container, ect.

I checked the bag. It’s just a very large bag of the regular box type of baking soda. It is used just the same way as “washing soda”. It is not necessary to have a separate soda. Baking soda is very versatile. BTW, you can turn baking soda into washing soda, by baking it, but really that is so unnecessary, as baking soda can be used in any application, that washing soda can be.

    Kudos to you! Great video with VERY important content. I've been using a variation of this recipe for the past 10 years. It's the best I've ever used, and it's the only thing that gets marinara stains out of my white table linens. Most young people are skeptical ... until they try it. My own version is a little speedier -- measure borax and washing soda into your jug, add 2 cups of very hot water; shake vigorously to dissolve all the particulates; keep adding hot water and shaking until your jug is almost full, then add Dawn and toggle gently to avoid over-sudsing. This costs $1.11 (US) per gallon (128 fluid ounces) and has no environmentally dangerous chemicals; Tide is over $20 a gallon. Good luck with your RUclips channel!

      The concept of concentration seems to elude you. Cleaning effectiveness depends on time, temperature, agitation and concentration of cleaning agents. Tide costs $20/gal because it’s 15%-20% surfactants and contains soil suspension agents, rinse aids, enzymes, foam suppressors, agents that prevent fading, and other ingredients to improve cleaning. This DIY concoction is less than 1% surfactants. It’s based on wishful thinking, not science.

      Did you do a price comparison ? How much cost for your soap versus cost from store for the pre made stuff ? I can get a 64 jar from Dollar Tree for... 1 dollar. Just wondering... is it worth it at that price ? Is your preparation costing the same, less or more ?

    There’s an old-time product from India called “soap nuts”. They’re actually a fruiting body from a shrub which are high in saponin. Anyone try these? Perhaps adding these to the recipe might produce interesting results. Also, adding some mold and bacteria-fighting essential oil, like lemon, orange, or grapefruit seed might help fight odor.

      I'm not sure I want oils mixed in with my clothes. To fight odor, I simply add a cup of vinegar to the wash. You'd think clothes might come out smelling like vinegar, but not at all. Towels come out cleaner and fluffier and regular clothes come out nice and clean. No odor whatsoever.

    Hi, came here from your washing machine video..pretty cool!
    Quick question: if adding double everything to your laundry detergent, would it make it more concentrated and not so water down??
    I have soil laundry from working in the yard,etc..not sure if this recipe as it stands will be enough to clean my laundry??
    Thank u for a response. Much Blessings

You said to fill the container with water as last step... how much water?

      I've been using plain white vinegar for 2+ decades! Works great! Just use approximately ¼ cup or close to line on your fabric softener dispenser. Your clothes will smell fresh and it does not leave a vinegar scent on the clothes.

      @@PaulaCodo depending on your walmart it is tricky to find them because since people don't buy them all the time theres only a little section. They are usually all the way up top or all the way on the bottom shelf tucked in and it is hard to spot them. They run around $4ish.. dollars each and will last you a while since you only use a cup. I always make the powder soap form just to save space since I make a whole bucket for the whole year but your soap looks good and I will try it. Thank you. Have a blessed day 💜

    This is one of the better homemade laundry detergent recipes because it adds a surfactant, the Dawn Dish Detergent. This will prevent problems found with using WAXY soaps. I just use a laundry detergent like Gain (I like the fragrance) and there's the surfactant, HE washers need it . Other benefits of a surfactant: 1) prevents towels from becoming non-absorbent 2) towels and clothes from loosing their fluffiness 3) and many fabrics becoming dingy and feeling heavy and limp. 4) For me, using a detergent doesn't much change my cost savings. I still save a ton of money and get a Safe Super Boosted Fragrant Liquid Detergent.
