    Thank you for this. I have a guinea pig who loves his duvets. I try to go natural with everything when it comes to my piggy. I made small pads from mattress covers and can see when he stains it. I have gone through various soaps and can't find one suitable for him. I use vinegar to help lift stains rather than bleach and it softens his duvets and keeps static down. I live in a very rural community on northern Vancouver Island, BC., Canada and we pay enormous prices for items lije laundry soap. Next laundry day I am trying this. I collected a garbage bag of ivy vines. My yard is full of it. I don't have to start my truck. Whew hoo. Can't wait for laundry day! Omg I need a life! Lol.

    Thank you so much you two!! I have been using 'Reetha' (aka Indian soap nuts, from the zero waste store) and I just planted a Ceanothus [sapponin] tree in the front yard, but thanks to you, now I know that all that English Ivy in the backyard that I thought I hated can be used also:-) I call my saponin extracts 'washing water' rather than soap, because people expect the extract to look [and be-used] like our traditional fat based soaps. I find these saponin extracts to be very powerful for cleaning, when I use them on dishes they rinse off so easily, so I use less water, and there's never any water spots like regular soaps leave. Also as a laundry washing water, unless I'm washing whites, I don't even use a rinse cycle. Also, UC Berkeley did a study on plant growth and showed that gray water from all commercial detergents, even the so-called gray-water safe ones, will deter plant growth, but our saponin extracts will not negatively affect the growth of plants. So here in Southern California I can use reuse the washing water on my garden!

      Everything is greener and healthier than ever! --- we did have a lot of rain this winter. I'm also using the 'Back to Eden' method with the chipper waste as mulch, and I'm sure a lot has to do with that as well. Regarding the washing water, I have gotten rid of most of my synthetics, because I don't want to be adding nanoplastics to my soil. So I'm wearing and washing mostly cotton. Best to you 🌱🍇🍏🌞

    It's great you promote natural "detergents", orerather cleaning agents. It's trully necessary. I know it's long gone but let me clarify with this small note: it's not juice nor sap, but decoction. It's good to remember that difference, especially for the newbies. Juice and sap have entirely different composistion and activity. Juice would be when expressed from leaves and usually it requires diluting. Sap would be when dropped from straight a trunk - like birch or maple sap or any other tree sap. Concentration in juices & saps is way higher than in this decoction. Anyway, all the best to all and cheers to beautiful ivy!😊💚

I guess there can be a benefit to an invasive species. I am crazy crazy allergic to chemicals, and have had a really hard time finding an affordable very natural laundry detergent. Even the “eco friendly” ones give me whole body allergic reactions. Seriously, this is a saving grace. Thank you!

    That is Fantastic. You can also use that as a shampoo. I just made myself an ivy tea but I used only a handful of shredded leaves for my large thermos can. The tea tastes soapy but it has tons of health benefits. I also have been making myself over the years ivy water blends in the blender with cold water only and it creates this amazing beer looking juice with like a quarter of foam on the top. I use the foam as a super gentle face wash and also face mask and it works amazing it completely soothes and smoothes your skin and makes it moist and soft and even a bit oily it's absolutely amazing. I also want to make myself ivy skin creams in the future but for that I have to let the leaves dry first to prevent any mold. I had bad mold experiences in Germany when I started making skin creams haha. That's why I decided to never work with water for skin creams again. I made my friend Monika a cream and she called me up saying Nicola your cream grew large black hair hahahahaha. But for face soap, laundry soap, hand soap etc water is necessary.

    It’s Jehovah God who’s providing all we need. He is the creator and he’s made it possible for you and all of us to find what we need to help us. Isaiah 45:18. I enjoy y’all segment on how to help ourselves using Jehovah God creative works. Please continue to share.

    Wow, thanks guys. What a brilliant video. My Herbalist friend told me that you can make eco washing liquid out of English Ivy. I have so much of this stuff in the garden. I don't have to buy soapnuts now. Yay. Thanks so much.
    I have videos on my You Tube about Japanese Knotweed, and what an amazing herbal plant it is. I put it in my smoothie daily. Asthma free now. ☺️

      Home Is Where Our Heart Is Okie dokie. Might be a good idea to make that fast with what’s going on. I don’t know if you know that the food supply chain has started to go down.
      Honestly I’d buy an unedited copy at this point. Doesn’t have to be perfect.

    If you are in the USA it is important that you tell apart the native Ivy (which is a bad guy according to the songs causes rashes and itches) and English Ivy which is quite harmless although it can be a pest.They both have different leaves.
