I'm going to try Dr. Jacob's after my Dr. Bronner's runs out. 👍 I also use J.R. Liggett shampoo bars and conditioner bar. They offer a discount to Veterans. When I contacted them to ask about a discount, she sent me a FREE sampler!! I didn't ask for it!
I use the vinegar and baking soda idea for cleaning drains. I also let the dog beds and blankets marinate in white vinegar water before washing to remove doggie smell.
I've been making & using your multi purpose cleaner for laundry & add peroxide or vinegar also for extra cleaning power or extra smelly things. I also do the same for cleaning the oven. I love making my own vinegar but hate all the fruit flies it always creates. A great vinegar to clean with & deodorizer & detracts ants & flies would be a peppermint or Marigold vinegar.
I always enjoy your videos Heidi. Thank you. (Also one of my daughters found your sewing videos and now basically lives in tiered skirts made from old sheets that she has made herself!)
I have been making your all purpose cleaner recipe for quite a while now. It is the best laundry cleaner I have ever used, home made or store bought. I also use it in my dishwasher. I had several drop of dish soap with it in the second wash. I always keep the ingredients handy to make more. I have learned so much from you through the years.
Thank you for info. We use peroxide on blood at hospital I work, also vinegar base cleaning product for whole hospital. it very strong smelling burns nose and eyes but kills germs. I ordered Dr. Jacobs bar soup. I need get liquid now. tried bar soap in hair its not good. I use to use Mrs. mejers. I heard put silver in washer kills germs. Have a blessed day.
This is perfect timing. I was looking for homemade laundry soap last night. I would like less expensive and safer cleaning products. Who knows if we can even find what we need in coming days.
Thank you for the great tips neighbor! First time Idaho viewer feeling vicariously productive 😉 I add vodka to my vinegar cleaner. I’m always intimidated by fall preserving and you’ve inspired me to make vinegar out of EVERYTHING. Did lacto ferment green tomatoes last year that are scrumptious. Off to stalk your channel 🌺
I always use the vinegar and baking soda for my kitchen sink clogs. I follow that with a pot of boiling water and it works great. I’m down to the bottom of my homemade laundry soap so I’ll be rewatching your detergent video. Many Blessings!!
I have been using the receipe for laundry detergent/scouring powder for a while now. I do not add the essential oils and everything still smells great. My adult sons work construction and this gets the tough stains out of their clothes.
Another great video, thanks Heidi. Have you done any videos on maintaining a functional daily schedule, or effective time management, for self-sufficient lifestyles? You make so much from scratch, so I'd love to know how you schedule your day and week to get everything done, but still maintain such a positive and upbeat disposition.
I have done a few over the years on time management and talk a bit about how I do things but I am always having to readjust things as new things are added, such as grandbabies. I really should do another new one since now I am watching two grandbabies three days a week but here is my most recent from 2021: th-cam.com/video/o7WB9HEi3lo/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead oh brilliant, thank you! No doubt we all get a bit grumpy at times, but it's so evident in your videos that you maintain an enthusiasm for every day, and a gratefulness for each moment. I sometimes fall into the trap of setting a strict routine, thinking that's the way to maximise my time, but all it does is wear me out and makes me lose the joi de vivre. You seem to achieve that balance between daily toil and daily treasure, so I'll get stuck into the video you linked right now.
thank you for telling how to find links using smart phones. I frequently watch videos while doing simple tasks and never knew how the links were located.
Baking soda and peroxide are great! I have 3 large dogs and live in the country. They like to get into trouble with skunks on the property. When they come back smelling of skunk the best thing I have used is baking soda, peroxide, and dawn mixed together letting that soak for 15 mins and it takes that smell out relatively well! Great videos Heidi! Going to try many of these products right away🙏❤
I purchased the rose and charcoal Dr Jacob's soaps after watching a previous video you did. They are great! The homemade apple vinegar is indeed a wonderful hair softener for those of us with thick, dry, curly hair (curly hair is more prone to dryness) and I also use it in a spray bottle on my plants to help prevent bugs and animals from eating them. I will have to try your tip about hard water stains in my toilet. I think I haven't been leaving it long enough to do it's job.
I used your "new recipe" for the last batch I made. It's excellent. I noticed the same thing with the "scum" in the washer tub, so I've taken to using soap only for stains, scrubbing in the sink before adding to the washing machine.
thanks to you my dear I have been using my Citrus vinegar for cleaning and laundry for the last few years and been saving tons of money and it's an excellent cleaner! you are awesome and loved in Minnesota
Heidi, on my iPhone all I have to do is touch the title of your video and it opens the description box. Don’t know if all phones are like that but mine is. Super easy. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the suggestions! My newest washing machine is horrible. Too late after purchasing, I figured out there's no cleanable filter in it. We're farmers and wow...just wow. Every load has sand, dirt, grease, you name it, it's there after it's done washing. I'm going to try your powder for washing now, thanks!
Thank you. We like the Dr. Jacob's quite a lot. Thank you for the recommendation over the Bronner's. Honestly, Dr. J's is better than any of the others I have tried.😊
Heidi, I love the Dr. Jocob's as well and it last a long time too. I do make my vinegar; and learn how to from you Heidi. Thank you for another great video!!
I've not been able to Master making homemade vinegar yet 😜🤗, but I buy the white vinegar and add the peels of fruit and let it brew a bit and use that to clean with. I'm going to try making it again now that I have some half gallon jars.... Wish me luck 🤞🤞. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
Thank you, always saving us time and money! I just watched your cleaning powder video from last July, thank you! I have been using Tru Earth, a pad type laundry soap, but we are moving to where the water from washing will be grey water, and I want to use it in my kitchen garden if I can. Besides saving money and having no plastic! wow! do you think this breaks down enough to flow between the garden rows? Thank you so much! God bless your family.
Dt. Jacobs soap? Hmm I've seen it on your list but never did check it out. I just did..I believe it's cheaper than Dr. Bronner. I use the peppermint for brushing my teeth and for a bug spray for my fruit trees . Makes great mouse n rodent spray as well. Will need to purchase the Dr. Jacob. Tyvm
I really appreciate each one of your videos. They are so informative. Do you have any suggestions for hair thinning? It doesn’t seem to be a problem for you but it sure is for me 😊
I have a few out on that. Here is one on now to naturally promote hair growth: th-cam.com/video/v6sOzof699Q/w-d-xo.html And here is the one on my hair growth oil recipe: th-cam.com/video/G6zTFttT8EI/w-d-xo.html
I followed your link and checked out Dr Jacob’s website and was disappointed to not see the ingredients listed. I like to do my own due diligence and have become accustomed to having the vendor disclose their ingredients.
@@RainCountryHomestead did you see a list of ingredients for the spray you mentioned in the video? I checked again and I don’t see the ingredients listed for that product.
I love watching your videos and learning from you! I was wondering could you use powdered citrus peels to your laundry for smell? I haven’t dehydrated peels yet so I am not sure if they would be strong enough to add for scent.
When you put white vinegar in the toilet tank how much do you use? Do you drain the water from the tank first? We get a lot of mineral buildup in our tanks and I think this might help, thank you for the great tips. Still having issues making citrus vinegar for cleaning, I can't seem to figure out the problem but I keep trying. I am using filtered water, it may be my citrus peels but I'm not sure. Anyway, thank you for the great video.
When it is for cleaning only, no. I do not worry about that. However, I have found that sometimes the non organic peels can prevent the vinegar from fermenting as it should.
Thank you for the great ideas 😊💡 the only think that concerns me is that i heard copper with vinegar for inside use of the pot 🍲 is toxic..is that true?
I add vinegar when making colloidal copper but do not consume much of it, I mostly use it externally. As far as cleaning the inside or outside of anything copper, all you have to make sure to do is rinse well like you would anyway
Love the recipes! Gonna try the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide on my counter stains! Hey Heidi, do you have any uses for my juniper berries? Thanks, ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Juniper berries are used to make gin and I know they have medicinal benefits but I have not studies up on that yet since our juniper does not get berries
I really need to made my own laundry powder. Store bought detergents have gone wrong somehow. Too expensive, don't even clean worth a snot, mostly they just smell strong. And I won't even go into the fact they are trying to force you into liquid in plastic jugs (which is mostly expensive water) I went to my local grocery store the other day and there wasn't anything in a box, its was all bottles! Its a smallish store but still, that ridiculous.
@@RainCountryHomestead a.. I hadn't thought of that awesome !! :) I knew you were fixing some of those, so i just wanted to mention... Thank you so much for all you do, You inspire me so much... and i can use alot of inspiration right now.. Blessings !!

I have not tried it since my citrus peel "powder" is not very fine but if you get it powdered up fine enough, I am sure that would be a good option
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much…might have to give it a try and see.
I use elite shungite stone to purify my water 😊

No, I do not drain the water, I also do not measure how much I put in, I just dump some straight in. At least two or three cups.
When you make your homemade citrus vinegar like your oranges and lemons for cleaning do the peelings have to be organic
When it is for cleaning only, no. I do not worry about that. However, I have found that sometimes the non organic peels can prevent the vinegar from fermenting as it should.
Thank you for the great ideas 😊💡 the only think that concerns me is that i heard copper with vinegar for inside use of the pot 🍲 is toxic..is that true?

Heidi, i would like to get the colloidal silver generator.

I made a grapefruit vinegar for cleaning that seems very weak. Any tips for making it stronger in the future?
You either needed more sugar or did not allow it to ferment long enough with only a cloth or coffee filter to cover it.
