I have been using home made laundry soap and I love it. Here is the recipe , I have a front loader and put it in with the clothes instead of the dispenser. 224 grams lye 19 oz water take out 3/4 of a cup and save it. 4 tbsp borax 1Tbsp salt 1 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp ammonia 16 oz coconut oil 21 oz shortening or crisco 14 oz palm oil 4 Tbsp sifted baking soda Add lye to water (save the 3/4 cup out) Stir and dissolve lye and add the borax, stir well Bring the 3/4 cup of water nearly to a boil and add the salt and sugar , stir well until dissolved, add the ammonia and set aside. Melt your oils When the oils and lye are to 100-100 degrees, add the lye , stir well and add the salt, sugar and ammonia mixture, , mix well, when near trace add the baking soda and mix well. Pour into mold , when ready to remove , I cut it into bars or chunks and let it sit for a week or two .Then I shred it fine , in my cuisinart and I use it powdered.I find it cleans very well. I haven't tried making it into the liquid soap, but I am sure that you could. HTH Kitn
