Laundry Soap gekko62
Solid Soap · NaOH · 500 g oil load · 5% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
500g Coconut oil 2 Litres cold water 92g NAOH 1/2 cup borax 1/2 cup washing soda 1.25L hot water 20ml orange 5x eo 5ml lemongrass eo Add cold water to container. Add lye; stir well (this barely gets warm because lye is so diluted) Add oil, washing soda, borax, fragrance oil. Add hot water to finish filling the container and stir well with a wire whisk. Whisk 3 times a day or so until set up. Initially, it will start with a glob of soap on top but will set up more each time you whisk it. After three days or so, you will be left with a nice, powdery liquid that you can use in your laundry. Add 1/2 - 1 cup for a top loading machine. Dissolve in hot water before adding to a very cold wash. Otherwise, just add it while the machine is filling. Use less in a front loader; this one WILL suds if you add too much.
