ok Nancy, where did you get the washing soda? I have tried every store in Toronto and I was told that we do not carry that in Canada. Humm.......

Will try! Experimented with Dr Bronner's Rose Soap & vinegar past few wks... scent was unbearable. Poured rest of Bronner's Rose soap, in garden today, as insecticide.

Is this cheaper that regular detergent you get in the store?

@freetosew Oh yes! five gallons of liquid laundry soap for about the cost of a bar of naptha soap.

I do much the same thing, creating 1 gal at a time. The recipe I use for 1 gal has 1/2 c washing soda, 1/2 c borax, and 1/3 bar fels naptha (grated). I haven't tried using a "regular" soap. Mine gets a little "goopy" as it cools. So I try to whisk it now and then so it doesn't set up like gelatin. Have you tried adding essential oils to the laundry soap? I've been thinking about orange to help break down body oils and odor.

@MaryVivit I'll have to remember orange. Interesting.

I just started making the powdered version ( I prefer liquid but I need to get a bucket first), and I was surprised how well it works for such little money. I will definitely make more of it. How long have you been using homemade? Could your family tell the difference? I used Ivory soap to make mine, but I also have some Fels Naptha.
