tried my home made laundry soap

[islandbeauty]

today i decided to give my home made laundry soap a try...i really didn't think that it would do a good job like the way store bought detergents do, boy was i wrong...it worked really well and am impressed that it did a good job..my clothes smelled nice, clean and fresh, was afraid that it would not take out odors but it did, but then maybe it was because i added some baking soda to it, anyway i will NEVER EVER use store bought detergent again...love this stuff...

Yep i'm converted to the home made laundry liquid, I made a double batch up 3 days back and it turned out great, we spend big dollars on the store brought for our front loader but we won't go back to that again.

Did either of you scent it? I'm about to make a gallon batch very soon and wonder what or how much to add. Don't want too strong a scent, but would like something.

Yes, I scent all my batches, sometimes with Tea Tree oil or Eucalyptus or Lavender, I put in enough to make it noticible when making it up, its really up to the individual.

This time round I put a bit too much in because when I took the lid off the smell was pretty powerful but then after making the first batch I realised my bucket of hot soap/water mix was leaking over the floor so DD and I had to work quickly to transfer it into another bucket, we only lost about 250 mls thankfully, and then I made up the 2nd batch with a bit of extra EO to make up for what I lost in the first batch.
