I made this laundry detergent the other day for the first time. I love it. My clothes were so clean with only a Tsp. The only thing i didn’t like was grating the soap. I will try the blender method next time. My local Walmart carries all the ingredients in the laundry isle which is conveinent.

[...] disposable stick-on wipes. I just throw the pad in the wash when I’m done, and wash it with my Homemade Laundry Powder and a little peroxide and it cleans up well every time. I think the price of the mop is worth it, [...]

@Megan Hi there! Yes, I wash most of my loads in cold water. I just use a finer grater for my soap when I do.

Hi there, I just recently started looking into making my own laundry detergent. Just one question; is it still okay to use the grated soap with cold water? I only use hot water with bath towels and such.

Thanks!

Hey, I just Googled home-made powdered laundry soap and this popped up. I’d seen recipes for the liquid and I just didn’t want to deal with the mess and storage of that I guess. Thank you for the recipe, I will be making this once I’ve gone through what I have left of the commercial liquid stuff.
Anyway, there’s another website I know of that sells what they call ‘Soap Noodles’. It’s just pre-grated soap they sell to soap makers to melt and add their own coloring/scent. I’ll be using this recipe but ordering the soap noodles. It might even be more cost effective than buying the bars you suggested, I guess depending on shipping. I’m not with their website or company or whatever. I just wanted to share on the off-chance anyone else would like pre-grated soap. Plus I like the super short ingredients list, which I’m sure others can appreciate too.
The website is: http://www.soapcrafters.com/soap_noodles_soap
Thanks again. I can’t wait to go through the rest of your site to see what other gems I can find.

Is there a way to make this recipe into a liquid laundry detergent?

Great idea PonyGirl. The worst part of making the mixture is dealing with the Fels Naptha. Darn shame you can’t buy this stuff in bulk because the price at the stores just keep on rising, and the boxes get smaller too.
