“I did a lot of research online to find as much information as I could about making my own laundry soap.
What I found was that pretty much all the recipes are essentially the same, some people use more or less of each ingredient, and that bath soap does not clean as well as laundry soap.
I also learned that this is great for High Efficiency washers because it makes little to no suds (FYI the suds in store bought laundry detergent are for looks only and don’t actually have anything to do with cleaning.)
In the end I went with Celina’s recipe because a) she’s my friend so I believe her when she says something works and b) because I believe her, her recipe is considered tried and true, c) it seemed pretty easy and d) Celina already did the price breakdown which saved me a lot of mental math work.
Basically, homemade laundry soap costs less than 1 cent per load. You can’t get much better than that!”
