my latest laundry soap experiment  

Just in case you're interested I just looked and the stuff is called Royal Bee napa citrus honey. I LOVE IT!

give the soap you like a shot for laundry soap! from what i read you can use almost any soap as laundry soap as long as you use the 7 part water to 1 part soap ratio!!!! the way i look at it is if you make a small amount then the worst that can happen is it dont really get your clothes clean and you have to wash a load over again.. trial and error is the only way to learn such things!

i am spoiled with oil of olay for my soap in the shower... lol dont think i will ever change. i have even rolled my pennies to buy it!

LOL I know what you mean I have my special things I like too. Now this honey stuff is one of them LOL. I will for sure give it a try tomorrow and let you know what happens :) Have a great weekend and happy mylotting :)

Hi Olydove...Walmart sells a Royal Bee gift set for $14.88 which includes body wash, body lotion, a foot cream, hand cream, two lip balms and a loofah...that is a great deal for the money. I use the stuff as well and I love it. I am diabetic and the foot cream is terrific!!!!

ROFL spalladino we decided one time to use liquid dish soap in the dishwasher and I told my husband " Honey don't put too much in there " We always wash the dishes by hand first and then run them through to sterilize them well he put too much and before we knew it the kitchen floor was full of bubbles but hey I got my floor clean :))

You're lucky you just got bubbles on your floor. One of my friends did that and something about all the bubbles ruined her dishwasher.

lmao!!! yeah thanks to the brady bunch i knew that you couldnt just use the dish soap straight in the washer.

i havent really done the figures but the ivory dish concentrate cost less than a single thing of laundry soap and lasts what has to be 10 times longer!

LOL @ thebeadoodler It was funny and well the floor did need to be mopped anyhow so technically we "killed two birds with one stone" by accident even ROFL.

I imagine it would be a much better deal livin because laundry soap these days has gone through the darn roof! Of course so has everything else :) I'm really glad you started this discussion it gives me a little something to look forward too tomorrow while doing laundry ( as I really hate doing laundry anyways ) ROFL!

oh yeah. why so many products. i am just plain out of room. we live in a small apartment and i am always looking for ways to save space time and money. the laundry soap i was making was way cheaper too but it was the kind where you use shaved soap melt it down and some washing soda and borax. was great since i have a life time supple of half used bars of Irish spring but i just dont have the room for all the stuff that took anymore. the dish soap takes up at least 75% less room. thanks for your response! have a wonderful day!!!

thanks so much for your response! i hope you have as much luck with it as i did.

i only wash my clothes in cold water..so yes it works...

yep yep. now i do love my oil of olay bar soap for my face, but i only use it for my body if i want to pamper myself or am having dry skin issues.... other wise i use a 32 oz size bottle of olive oil based shampoo that i get for a buck at the dollar tree for shampoo and body wash. last a long time and is way cheaper than others...

i thought about using a teaspoon or something but it was much easier to teach the kid how to do laundry if i could use the same laundry soap container and same measurements at every house she lives. its hard to be the cheap parents when the kid has two sets of parents. act like she never understands how to do stuff cuz "my mom dont do it that way" lol

yeah i use vinegar for fabric softener. i use vinegar for a lot of things. its my most used cleaner! thanks for your response!

i used to use probably about the same recipe you do for making it lots at a time with bar soap, borax and washing soda, but in this tiny place i had to start finding better ways to use my space. when and if i ever get to a bigger place i will go back. it was a cleaner smelling and cost just a bit less per load.

you are welcome! glad to have helped! thanks for the response! happy mylotting

lets see if this thing works
