~~Laundry, Laundry, Laundry ~~
I don't know about you all, but laundry seems to never end at our house. Seems like I get it all caught up and then I turn around and there is more. My sister In-law gave me this recipe close to six months ago. I was not sure about it at first since many of my family have allergies to soaps. So I made a small batch and we gave it a try and my family loved it. So this time I wanted to make a large batch! So, this is what I bought! But remember there is 7 in our house and we go threw a lot of laundry so when you make it you might not need this much soap!
Homemade Laundry Soap
5 Box Zote Soap
5 Box Boraz (76oz.)
5 Box Washing Soda (55oz.)
10 Cups Baking Soda
6 Dollar Tree Oxyclean
10 Containers Of Pyrex Softener Crystals
2 - Five Gallon buckets
 |
| (Please note I only have 4 borax, and 6 Pyrex and 1 five gallon bucket) I had to run to the store to get more to finish up the soap. |
 |
| Here is my helper pouring in the Pyrex! |
 |
| This is what is looks like. There are many kinds of Pyrex Crystals to choose from But I loved the one with essential Oils in it! |

| Love this photo! There is something special about children's hands! He keeps playing in the soap and making soap castles. |

I am so happy to see your new blog Ashley. Love this post… especially the pictures of your precious little guy helping mix the soap; so sweet. This is a large recipe to be sure. I make my own laundry soap also, and just love it. I can't get over the nice smell of it… especially after I have just made it. I haven't seen the Pyrex Crystals before… what are they? Perhaps a water softener with a nice smell? Have a lovely week.

Pam, they are like little fabric dots to make your clothes smell fresher longer. I think they help out a lot. They have a ton to choose from but I liked the Pyrex the best.

Yay! I'm so glad you tried it and liked it! That is definitely a large batch, but it will last you awhile. It's so funny that David likes the smell...so cute! Love his little hands!
ReplyDeleteLaundry is a never ending task and I have a ton of it after our 6 day trip away...oh boy!!
I hope you are doing well. Miss you!
Hugs, Amy
Dearest Ashley, I did try that soap and it does work well and has a lovely smell. And I am sure that batch will last you for a little while. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think that is why kids love to play in the sand or in your case on the beach!!
I love having you blogging again...
Love, Mom
