Allergic To Regular Soap? The Reasonable Alternative Is Easy To Make!
My Soap Container For My Own Soap Without Allergens
Like a lot of people, some days it seems like I am allergic to everything. There are lots of soaps out there that I can use, but they are expensive. This is a frugal answer to a major issue. Homesteading is about self-sufficiency and this meets that goal nicely. This is an easy recipe, it works, and I have no issues using it.
BASIC LAUNDRY POWDER
(works best in warm or hot wash water)
½ cup soap flakes or grated plain bar soap....I use those big wash bars for washing clothes from Walmart that are found near the washing soda and borax. There is a white bar and a pink bar, both work equal.
½ cup borax
½ cup washing soda
1. Combine ingredients well, and store in a jar with an airtight lid.
2. Use ½ to 1 tablespoon per load. Use a little more for extra large loads and double for extra dirty loads.
My container is quite large, so I triple the recipe.
I mainly use cold water for my skirts and sweaters, so I run a little warm water in the washer and add soap. When dissolved, I continue using only cold water and it is not enough warm water to have any effect on the wash water temperature.
This washing powder lasts a long time and comes out much cheaper than buying special detergents. I also sometimes make my own soap bars and add essential oils of my choice. This adds a scent to the laundry. The other awesome point is that it makes up in minutes, for the busy homemaker. Enjoy the frugal life on the homestead!

Welcome
a very good post, I like posting @floridagypsy
Thank you @masril.
good thinking
Thanks @yasirgawad.
I like that container! I also make my own because of the smells of all the chemicals much less the reaction from them on my skin.
I found that the few minutes it takes to make all my products are the only way to go. Thanks for reading @weetreebonsai. The container I either found at Walmart or Target. I think I was online, but could have been in the store.
I mix mine up for about 6 months to a year. I will have to go online and see if I can find one like it.
I mix mine for 6 months to a year also and that is why I needed a large can. It has about a quarter cup size scoop in it, but I have never used more than 1/8 or half a scoop. I will go look in my order history and if I find it, I will post the link here @weetreebonsai.
I guess I ordered it from Amazon @weetreebonsai. Here is the link for the can: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019GQ4C4S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I clicked on it, it seems it is no longer available. They showed other products and I saw the same thing in cream from a different store.
Thank You very much!
Is this the right product? Citronella Candles Scented Soy Wax 3 Wick Tin, 70 Hour Burn, Natural Mosquito Repels, Outdoor and Indoor
Crazy, last night I clicked on it and it came up right. Try this link. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=metal+washing+soda+box+6.4+quart
