Liquid laundry soap

[Emely]

Hi to everyone online here!
I make soaps almost a year.
Bar soaps and now i want to make liquid laundry soap.
Did enyone made liquid laundry soap with pottasium hydroxide.
I wanted to make a paste then dilute it with water where i priviously disolved a washing soda baking soda and salt.
What do you think would it be ok?

You can make 100% CO liquid soap. I personally wouldn't add washing soda or salt to it. I would add that separately. Though, I've only made powdered laundry soap and do mix the washing soda into the soap. Never added salt though.

Hi Emely and welcome to SMF.

I agree with shunt2011. 100% coconut oil soap makes the best laundry soap. Go to this calculator to set up your formula:

It should look like this:

Choose KOH (potassium hydroxide) for your lye solution.
500 grams batch size is good for your first time.
Water : Lye Ratio type "3:1"
Type "0" for super fat and fragrance.

Dilution: 40% soap to 60% water

Add your dry ingredients to the wash water when you add the laundry soap. I use the measurements in an old laundry detergent bottle.

Add 1/4 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle to remove soap residue. You may need to rinse more than once to get all the soap residue out. If you don't rinse thoroughly, your clothes will become stiff and dingy looking, so this is a very important step for clean, soft laundry.

Good luck!
