Laundry Soap Recipe

Make Your Own Laundry Soap for Pennies Per Load and Get One Step Closer to Your Dream

Here’s my laundry soap recipe to help you be more self sufficient.

There’s a really cool project going on in Kansas City at the Urban Farming Guys.  20 families moved into the inner city and set up housekeeping with a motive to bring fresh vegetables and homesteading skills to the inner city.  I absolutely love what they’re doing — check it out.

This video shows you how to make your own laundry soap.  It’s the same recipe that I use.  I have hard water and increase the amount of washing soda.

Here’s my Laundry Soap recipe:

10 oz. of bar soap, grated (1 use 2 bars of Goat’s milk soap — use whatever soap you want — this isn’t a beauty enhancer)

1 cup of washing soda

1 cup of borax

5 gallons of really hot water

I stop here and then store it in a 5-gallon bucket and use 2 tbsp. per wash load.  You can follow the video and add another 5 gallons of water and store it in closed containers.  Your laundry soap will be organic and non-toxic if you use natural soap.

Now you can take the money that you’re saving and put it toward your dream.

Thanks for the video, Urban Farming Guys.
