I loved hearing your sweet voice get so frustrated with the food processor! That was so adorable!! We're all human. And I'm glad you didn't cut that part out. I love your videos! You're a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your information with us.🙏 💗 from California!
I made this! It is a great way to use up my 'mistake' soap or my rebatches that still didn't turn out right. It cleans our laundry brilliantly. I just like it plain , unscented. Love the smell of plain soapy clothes. Thank you for sharing this tutorial and recipe.
Thanks Joanna, it's great isn't it! I just uploaded a recipe for the laundry soap, often I add that with my offcuts and old soaps to make the laundry powder with th-cam.com/video/GU81ycnFgEU/w-d-xo.html
I was trying to grate some coconut soap bars, and yes, they are very hard! So… I put an attachment on my food processor, the one that shreds vegetables (like carrots), and it shredded the coconut soap bars in a couple minutes! Thank you for another great tutorial. I will be doing some laundry tomorrow.
Hello, thanks for the tip, I also pass my old oils to make soap for laundry that don't keep very long on the shelf like sunflower and canola :) Merci de partager tes passions tu expliques très bien ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Guess I'm going to have to keep an eye out on a second hand food processor just for laundry soap! How exciting! Thank you so much x
For a less expensive way to purchase washing soda, check out the place where you purchase swimming pool supplies. You can also find sodium bicarbonate too. At least here in Canada, that’s what’s used to balance pH in pools.
You can mix your essential oil into the washing soda first and mix well. Then add your soap already fine blended together into a bowl and mix well. Should work good that way.
Hello Elly , i made this few days ago , i made the coconut oil soap first using 0 superfat and then added the washing soda and then put it through tbe food processor . It came out lovely , a white fine powder without any scent and washed the clothes really well . My family were very impressed ! Thank you for sharing :)
I started making laundry detergent a few weeks ago - just like your video - and love it! I've made batches for 2 of my daughters & they are thrilled. Thanks for sharing!
LOL! You cracked me up when you got frustrated with your food processer. You are funny. You have the sweetest voice and you do an amazing job with all of your videos. I guess that we could do this with our re-batch soap too. I hadn't really thought about it until you shredded it up. Thank you from Alabama.
Thanks, oh yeah that was funny (not, lol). Yes you could definitely do this with your rebatch soap, but make sure the superfat isn't too high. You don't want unsaponified oils in your washing machine.
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
Hi Elly. I didn't have any soap because I'm just starting out, so, I just bought some white cheap commercial soap .I grated all that and followed your instructions..... did get part of a knuckle in the process of a grating lol . I used it today and my sheets were still in one piece after the wash so here to my fingers crossed. Thank you for looking forward to my next batch. I used an old magic bullet and the fines cheese grate worked good. I made 100gm so 200gmwith the soda, plus i added one block or preen soap and divided between the 8 batches i made LOve your easy to follow instructions. Have a great day
Thanks for your comment Lesley! Sounds like you did a great job with what you have available to you. I'm glad it worked out for you, I've been using my home made laundry powder for many years now and I'm so happy with it. Thanks again :)
Nice to watch Elly. I got the same Food Processor. Never made soap but you reminded sights of childhood when neighbors used to boil leftover soaps and soak clothes before beating the dirt out with a wooden bat like object called “Thaapi”
I love this laundry soap recipe. I make the liquid laundry soap which can be a bit cumbersome with the baking soda, washing baking soda, borax, gallons of hot water, etc. So, I am excited to try this, so easy...thank you, Elly!!🥰💖💖
You're welcome Celeste, thank you! Yes it is so easy, I still love it after many years. You might like my video on how I make my laundry soap bars too th-cam.com/video/GU81ycnFgEU/w-d-xo.html
I just came to this video from your December newsletter, and I can't wait to try this. I have a whole bunch of soap I made that ended up smelling like mothballs once it saponified (the scent was called "bohemian sunrise" or something, and smelled beautiful in it's bottle 😫), I'll use it for this, and add another essential oil to see if it improves it. ❤
Lol life doesn’t all go as planned and yes it’s warm here in Savannah Georgia as well...looking forward to making this myself ...thank you again for all of you time and energy educating us...truly appreciated.
Thank you Ellie for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to make my own laundry soap powder for a long time, but I kept finding articles saying not to use soap because it causes scum so I kept stiring away from it. So it was good that you’ve used that powder for 5 years in a he front loader without issues. Can’t wait to try
I’ve been using DIY laundry soap (I don’t make the soap, I buy a laundry soap bar , grate and add washing soda) as well and wow people get annoyed (online) and tell me that it doesn’t work. I get lectured about soap vs detergent. Anyways, have been using for years and never experienced the ill effects that some sites/ people say “might” happen. Wanting an eco friendly, cruelty free product and clean clothes...I’m quite satisfied with the diy. I’d say try it for yourself and see what you think.
Hi Elly! Started making a coconut/olive soap just for laundry as I love it and so does my daughter-in-law. My clothes are really soft once they've dried and it's saving me a fortune!!! Huge thanks Trish 👍 Ps I've found the "Cup of Coffee" link so I'll be on that once Rocky Horror Show pay me!!! 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Only just found you, thoroughly enjoyed watching and have subscribed, I’m finding it really informative to see how many different ways there are to make the detergent. Thank you👍😊
This worked out AMAZING! I tested it serveral times now, and I´m totally amazed! It doesn´t matter if super dirty workshop working trousers of my love, my own fitness dancing or gardening outfits, fatty kitchen towels or period pants... no matter if colourful, or white... I need soooo few of it, only 2 table spoons of it for a whole load (of a european 6 kg ) front loader) the laundry is super clean and has an amazing scent of lemongras, orange and peppermint like my origin cleaning soap (whit´ch I consided too good for "just cleaning" ) without further perfuming! Really truly sustainable!
Awesome video! Thanks so much. The last one I watched was 100% coconut HP soap grated pretty much an hour after being made...so it's still easy to grate. I did grate it up and was disappointed as it wouldn't dissolve in my top load HE washer. Now I know what to do. Must go get some washing soad and get it whizzed up now. Elly, you're wonderful!
Oh thank you Veta. Thanks for taking the time to provide such great feedback. I love this laundry soap - we've been using it with great success for years :)
I ordered sodium carbonate right after i watched this Elly! Have 100%coconut soap bars now to make laundry soap. I think i will just use a bit of fabric conditioner when rinsing to give my laundry fragrance :) so excited to try this!
Elly, I am so happy with this video. I will try but first I have to make my first batch of beginner's soap and hopefully I will. My have to wash my husband 's clothes twice with tons of Tide ( like triple). He changes his clothes twice but Bec of his strong prescribe medication, he basically sweats his meds. I tried everything and there is nothing out in market that works but the routines I have done above. I will try this for sure. Thank you sooooo much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it! I hope it works well for your husband's clothes. Try using some essential oil in the wash as well. Eucalyptus would be nice.
Jin, there is a lady Chemist in Utah, she has website, does emails, Jilliie. She has a free base then one Julie Plus, I’m thinking she would work up a formula for you
@@sharonp4446 Thanks , Sharon !! ❤️ I will definitely check out her website and get in touch with her. Thank you for reaching out to me from my bottom of my heart. Thank you so much 🌺🌸🌹
Great idea Elly. I was going to throw out the soap I did not like but I am going to give this a go. BTW I have a blender like yours and I love it but sometimes I fight with it as well. Love that you left that bit in your video.
For getting the soap into the bucket, instead of using the spatula, you can also lift up the cutting board and drag the grater with the soap in it, off the board and into the bucket :) I do that with cheese xP One less tool :P :)
Fantastic Elly I will follow your directions makes it look so simple. I was laughing my head off with your processor not behaving itself I often have that problem even here in Tas. Why do tops like to get stuck.......x
Hi Elly! I suffer from severe skin allergies and cannot use the majority of soaps out there due to being allergic to fragrance and coconut oil (which is in pretty much everything). I discovered your recipe on how to make olive oil soap and cannot wait to try this! My question regarding the laundry soap is, can I use olive oil soap flakes? I subscribed to your channel and cannot wait to watch more of your videos :) Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much Brenda! That's a great question you ask. Olive oil soap made with a low or zero superfat should clean your clothes reasonably well, but it won't have quite the same power as a coconut oil soap would have. Do you have any access to sustainably sourced palm oil, lard or beef tallow? Those, mixed with olive oil, would make a more cleansing soap. You'd have to calculate a recipe for the new combination though. I hope that helps :)
Vielen Dank für diese Idee , ich stelle es so her das ich meine Überschuss an Seife , fein geraspelt in destilliertem Wasser koche , das hällt auch sehr lange , da ich viel Wäsche in kaltem wasser wasche , Strom wird überall teurer , gemischt mit dem Waschsoda , eine wunderbare Mischung ,
You can turn the bicarbonate into carbonate, put it in a stainless steel pot and heat it on your stove until it turns white and stops bubbling, be careful not to get burned and wait for it to cool before using it
You can also make washing soda by baking it in the oven to remove one of the water and carbon dioxide molecules. Heat the oven to 400F(200C), spread regular baking soda onto a baking sheet about 1/2" thick (12mm), and bake for 1 hour, stirring twice. Let cool and store in airtight container until ready to use. **Caution: wear a mask or be very careful breathing while stirring or transferring to/from the container; washing soda (store bought or homemade). It's more caustic and lighter than baking soda and it's not hard to accidentally breathe in any airborne superfine dust particles. "Not hard" as in seriously easy. It took me two times making it before I figured out the cause of my painfully dry, slightly bloody nose.
Hi Elly I watched all your videos over and over to make sure I knew what I was doing - then last month I made my first batch - today I made my 10th batch and tomorrow I make laundry soap based on this fab video - I’ve watched it five times !!! I have LOVED smelly soap my whole life and I have paid up to $8 per bar - imagine my relief to discover that “I “can do this - with great success I might add !! I just wanted to say “thank you “ for sharing your gift for soap making and for making such easy to follow and thorough videos- I am a perfectionist and appreciate all the details - next goal - sour dough starter !!! Have a very blessed Christmas ❤️ ps my family says I have a “soap” problem !! LOL 😂
Wow Melanie, thank you! You sound just like me when I started haha! Good for you. Yes, you'll save yourself a lot of money, and give yourself a lot of joy too. Brilliant work, thanks for shaing. And you're very welcome! Merry christmas to you too x

One of my cp soap didn’t solidify even after 10 days… can I use that to convert into laundry soap?
Thank you. That is the simplest and easiest recipe I've seen for home made washing powder. I'm certainly going to try it.
Thank you, you're welcome!

If you spread your soap gratings out to drie out, it blends down to a finer product. It even doesn't stick that mutch to the blades aswel.

I just wanted to say “thank you “ for sharing your gift for soap making and for making such easy to follow and thorough videos- I am a perfectionist and appreciate all the details - next goal - sour dough starter !!!
Have a very blessed Christmas ❤️ ps my family says I have a “soap” problem !! LOL 😂
