~Homemade Laundry Soap~


Friday I made my second batch of Homemade Laundry Soap. My first batch was a success. My husband was extremely skeptical & even I had my reservations but I knew people who had made it & were very happy with the results. It seems to clean our clothing just as well if not better than what I had been using previously which was either ALL Free & Clear or Arm & Hammer Sensitive. This is the recipe I followed but my cousin Wildwood Mama has a wonderful tutorial as well. I used Dove soap which was not my first choice but that is what I had & I was desperate. But it worked! It is extremely easy to make too! Next time I want to use Dr. Bronner's Castile Bar Soap in Lavender. I love the smell of Lavender & have always wanted my laundry to smell of it! I am very sensitive to scents & most scents if they are not from essential oils are way too much for me. I usually use Dr. Bronner's Lavender liquid soap to bathe with & love it but have been out for a while. I haven't had a chance to go to the Health Food Store. I recommend making it because it will save you money & it's better for you & the environment!

A low cost, green eco friendly, healthy natural way to do laundry or to clean in general is to make a homemade liquid from soapberry which grows on the Chinaberry tree and has been used for thousands of years. It works very effectively.

Isn't this stuff great! I'm sensitive now to perfumes too. They give me headaches.
