We decided a while ago that we were going to make our own liquid laundry detergent. The internet is a great source of information for anybody wishing to do-it-themselves. We watched a video on Youtube on how to make liquid laundry soap and then we proceeded to brew up 20 liters of our own.
How we made our liquid laundry soap:
- we shredded about 150 grams of glycerin soap, put it into a saucepan, added water and heat until it was dissolved
- we then put approximately 236 mL (1 US cup) of washing soda (sodium carbonate) and approximatedly 118 mL (½ US cup) Borax into the bottom of a clean 20 L (5 Gallon) plastic paint bucket
- then we added the dissolved warm glycerin soap/water combination to the dry ingredients in the plastic bucket
- we then filled the bucket with hot water and mixed the ingredients well
- finally we added 2 caps of a 10 ml little bottle of essential oil of gardenia to our mix and let it sit until next day
We have been using our soap for quite a while now and we are very pleased with the results. Currently we are doing renovations so we have been doing a lot of laundry and our detergent has been doing a fine job. We mix our detergent with a stick before we use it.
