  • I thought you had to use Sunlight or Fels Naptha soap. I use a bar of Fels, 1/2 c borax, 1/2c washing soda, 5 gallons of water. It becomes congealed. I keep it in a 5gallon container under the sink and use 1/2c for each load of laundry. I tried it with my homemade soap once, but it didn't work. I see yours doesn't get thick. That must have been a function of the fels naptha (sunlight soap in Canada). However I read the ingredients on the bar. I'll try it with strong homemade lye soap!

  • @NancyToday I just use any old kind of bar soap I have around. It seems to wash the clothes OK. I love your soap making videos. Let us know how it does with the lye soap.

  • isnt it easier to just go to the dollar store and get it??? dont the materials alone cost more??/

  • @lilbeaveymac No! This is MUCH cheaper than even the dollar store brand. Once you but the materials, you probably have enough to make soap for a year for one person.

  • Can you add oils to it to make it smell a certin way?

  • @LacienTommy I don't know but I would think that adding oil to it would use up some of the cleaning action breaking down the added oil. However, it has a really fresh smell just as it is. I think you would be better to just spay a touch of cologne on the laundered and dried clothes to add scent.
