Yes - you read that right, I made laundry soap.
Here's what you'll need:
1 bar of soap
1/2 cup washing soda (different than baking soda)
1/2 cup borax
Grate your bar of soap fine. Use a food processer if you have one, it's a whole lot easier! Add your borax and washing soda to the food processor and mix away for a minute or so.
Use 2 tbsp. per load of laundry.
I've seen others on youtube video's who boil the soap, soda, and borax in a pot with one gallon of water to make liquid soap, but to be honest, I'm conserving my time and energy today and am going to keep it dry!

that's cool! I don't think I am ready to give up the super yummy smell of mine. It lasts in my clothes for days. I think you should post the toothpaste recipe too. I have a friend who is allergic to toothpaste and could really use it. Can't wait to see you this weekend! it's been too long!
I've heard people say you can add essential oils to the liquid version - I might have to try it! She hasn't given me the toothpaste recipe yet, but when she does, I'll be sure and post it :)
I used your recipe and added lavender essential oil to mine, I like it! (I did the liquid, put it in a lemonade drink dispenser I got in the outdoor/picnic section at Target)
Have you tried using distilled vinegar yet in the rinse cycle for fabric softener?
I don't see why you couldn't add essential oils to the dry version before you run the food processor for awhile?
