    This seemed not quite right. Thick tasting. I remember the liquid being lighter so that you could really taste the ice cream, and in fact most other recipes call for a bit of milk rather than heavy cream and just tablespoons, not ounces (there are two tablespoons in an ounce, which would mean half as much). Also, I'm sure real Hershey's syrup would have been better, but that thickness is what was really off-putting. Heavy cream (which costs a fortune!) was to me just wrong. In fact, from watching it made at the soda fountain, I don't remember milk or cream being added at all. Just chocolate syrup and club soda and ice cream. Clearly the experimenting is not over yet.

      No it doesn't stay completely liquified. You would have to make a true liquid soap for that. Doing that is an easy process. But it involves a very caustic chemical (and cannot be done without it). This recipe is for those who don't want to work with that. Shaking it always reblends it for me. You have to use natural soap and it has to be fully melted for shaking it to work.

    Ivory was horrible on our youngest baby. My dermatologist hated Ivory - 99% pure wasn’t quite what he felt was truth. We switched to Dove for her and it made all the difference. Any other suggestions for someone like me? I’m so sick of being scammed by the food and beauty industry. I used to love Dawn but it doesn’t do a good job anymore Fels Naptha however is excellent at killing poison ivy oil if you’ve come in contact with it. My husband and kids are severely allergic to it. If they do get a rash Zanfel Cream (which is expensive but well worth it) keeps them out of the ER. ❤

    • @sustainableslowliving
      @sustainableslowliving หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would try to find a soap maker who will make you a pure bar. As for the poison ivy ... learn to identify (if you don't already know) jewel weed. It very often grows next to poison ivy, as antidotes do in nature. If you family is aware that they've come in contact with poison ivy at the time of contact and there is jewel weed there, they can rub the juice from the inside of the stems on the point of contact and they won't get the rash at all. Don't be fooled by jewelweed lotions and soaps. They help but they are not damage control not prevention. And in the type of case you're family has they won't do a thing.

    I agree with the no soap bars, like you said they only cause build up on your clothes and soap bars/flakes/shaven’s should never put in any washing machine as they clog and cause soap scum eventually. However you don’t need two use two water softeners, skip the baking soda, it’s a filler, and arm and hammer WASHING SODA is a a DETERGENT BOOSTER, you have no detergent in there to boost, I’d suggest adding some Ariel or other less chemical powdered detergent. Salt makes water HARD, especially table salt, and it will eventually rust your machine from the inside as salt rust’s metal objects, if you must use salt, you need to use bigger pieces like kosher salt to rub up against surfaces.

      @@sustainableslowliving If you can find anything else powdered detergent wise just add like 1/3 to 1/2 if that to your recipe for true detergent, since you have 2 water softeners and no surfactant it’s not detergent or soap. I took a class on this and making lye soap that had a surfactant quality but the secret is for true homemade soap/detergent you have to add a true detergent, they have true lye ones on amazon, after taking that class woooo that is too scary and dangerous for me messing with lye, but that’d be a truer detergent but kinda with most soap bars you’d have to be like our great grandmother’s and beat your clothes on a rock to get them clean and the soap out, so you definitely need some serious agitation, one of machine’s is a speed queen with an agitator but even I wouldn’t put soap bars in there. Just tweak your recipe, take out the baking soda and salt. If you can find a powdered detergent that is eco friendly that you feel comfortable with, adding the washing soda detergent booster with real detergent is a great idea! I hope I didn’t sound rude! I was just alarmed you had all fillers and used salt, with no detergent. The crap people use for DIY is so ridiculous when zote and fels both clearly say “laundry stain remover bar.” Yes they work great if you wet them, rub it on and pretreat stains, not “shred me up and I’m automatically soap/detergent!” I’m also very uncomfortable with fels as one of its last ingredients is a known carcinogen. Zote I’m iffy about because of the optical brighteners! But it is made with beef tallow, still wouldn’t shred it up for “soap” because they are both stain bars. I had to switch to Ariel with booster for something’s like stinky workout clothes, but otherwise my brother who sells washing machines at Lowes is always telling us how many machines get their warranties invalidated because of DIY damage. He says modern machines are meant to have liquid detergent, just to the first line because people use ENTIRELY too much and fill the scoop, which is also bad for your washer and clothes! If you can find a powdered detergent or liquid that you are comfortable with using I’d do that, I know it’s fun making your own stuff, believe me I have DIY’s with my kids slime, playdoh everything you can think of, and it’s so satisfying seeing them light up that we made our own and they feel proud! Again, sorry if I sounded grumpy, good luck to you and let us know if you change/modify anything! 💙

    OH MY GOODNESS! What a mess this made. I'm not blaming the creator of this mixture. Many of the homemade recipes I get on line fail to turn out well. Please tell me what I did wrong. I followed the exact recipe given and put the mixture in a canning jar. The next morning the soap had settled into a half solid, half liquid combination. I shook it and then used it, but the Ivory flakes would not dissolve. (They had done so when I first made the mixture the night before. ) I tried microwaving it, and the Ivory STILL did not dissolve. The portion that I used to wash dishes actually left globs of Ivory in the drain that remained until the next day when I scooped them out. (If you've ever dropped a sliver of soap in the shower or tub, you know what I'm talking about. It STAYS!) Today I shook and then microwaved the mixture and used it again. What remained in the jar turned solid again within minutes. At the rate I'm going, the jar will be empty within a few more days!

      I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. The mixture does start to resolidify. But I've always been able to simply shake it to remix it.

    If anyone uses essential oil make sure your jar is amber or dark because essential oil is sensitive to light and its effectiveness diminishes with light.

    What did I do wrong?? My soap ended up collecting back up together at the top of the container 😩 it was melted and mixed with the liquid!

      It will need to be shaken very well before using each time. That's why I keep mine in a mason jar with a plastic lid.

      They will last a week or so in the fridge. And about 3 months in the freezer.

    Hi, thank you for your recipe. Can this powder be poured into the same tray as the liquid deter or do you need to put it in the washer first? Thank you

    • @sustainableslowliving
      @sustainableslowliving 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I never put powder into the liquid detergent tray. I don't know if it can be done or not. I have always just placed it directly in the wash water.
