Feedback on my Homemade Products

I said I would give a report on my homemade products. So here is a report, I am finding that the soap works very well, I am still tweaking the amount to use to see how much is really necessary to get a clean wash. The soap doesn't have any fragrance, I am looking for a place to buy inexpensive essential oils to add to the soap  so that my clothes would smell nice after laundering.  I also made other products that I will be posting about soon.

Homemade Laundry Soap

Ok, lets add a kick to this blog.  Today we're going to talk about something exciting, Laundry. Yes, I said Laundry, don't you get just a little excited knowing you have a bushel of dirty clothes that need washed and you have no laundry detergent?
Well I decided to do something about it and do some experimenting with making my own Laundry soap. I have decided to become green. No silly, not me physically but my environment. So here below is pictures of my endeavor.





The final product will be a liquid like gel substance.
If you want to add fragrance 1/4 to 1/2 oz of your favorite essential oil when you add the soap mixture to water in bucket.

This recipe will make approximately one gallon of Laundry Detergent.  32 loads
 Use up to a 1/2 cup of Homemade Laundry Detergent to each load of wash.

Time to make: 15 min
Time to set 24 hrs
