| Stone Gable Laundry Soap Recipe |
It's time to make more laundry soap. I no longer buy store brand laundry soap. I've been making this for years, and we love it. I don't make it in a garbage bag, but use my huge stainless steel bowl instead.
This soap works really well, and covers many loads. I may have shared this recipe before, but I think it's worth sharing again. (Sorry the edges are cut off this image. It's the only one I have from her blog, and she no longer has the recipe on her site.) On her original post, she showed a photo of her glass apothecary jar with a bee image. She got it free from The Graphics Fairy website, which carries thousands of copyright free images. I've used their images before and they have something for just about every need.
I'll be at work today (thanks to Alka seltzer cold gel tabs). I'll see you again tomorrow.
I have also made that, it's good.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cold goes away soon.

Hi Marilyn-
DeleteHandsome started his laundry on Tuesday, only to have the washer soak the basement. Fortunately, he got a repairman out same day. Turns out there was a mouse nest in the back of the washer housing, and the little critter chewed through the wire to the sensor that controls water levels. The part we need for the repair came in today (Friday), so we're back in business. I'll be doing my laundry this weekend. Yippee
Thanks, dear. I'm working on it.
Hugs,

We have taken to using laundry sheet-soap (comes in sheets) that's made here in Canada. Seems to work well for all the laundry we do, most of which we do by hand. Washing in the commercial machines in our building is costly and we only use it to do heavy items and then we hang things on hangers over our bathtub to dry. It would cost us the better part of $20/week to wash and dry laundry in the machines and that adds up.
ReplyDeleteHi MA-
DeleteWe have those sheets, too! I had a subscription for the ones from EarthBreeze for a while. I really like them, and they're convenient. I do love the Stone Gable blend though, too...especially for towels and sheets. It sounds like your system works really well for you. I guess I take for granted the convenience of having our own washer and dryer on a private well. I guess I should stop complaining that I have to go to the basement to use them.
Hugs,

Hmmm. I might try that, but without the Downy Unstopables. We currently use a scent/dye free detergent for sensitive skin. I like the rest of the ingredients... does it smell bad without the Downy?
ReplyDeleteHi Lois-
DeleteI don't use the unstoppables either. I think I added lavender ones when I first made it in Florida, but prefer it without them. It smells really fresh and clean without them. I always feel like adding them is like adding something plastic, and they don't actually smell like lavender. More like "near/fake" lavender. The recipe is actually improved without them.
Hugs,
