All Natural Liquid Laundry Detergent

So I am a fan of homemade laundry detergent! I'm sure that's obvious by the two other post I have made on laundry detergent (Original recipe here and then we have the Concentrate recipe) 

But this laundry recipe it's all natural, so no colorants or artificial fragrances. Plenty of wholesome clean goodness and so easy to make!

What you are gonna need is 6 oz of grated pure coconut oil soap (that you can buy here https://www.etsy.com/listing/234868161/made-to-order-100-coconut-oil-soap) 

Washing Soda 

Borax 

Essential Oils if you want 

So first off put the grated soap into the pot and add four cups of water.

Turn your heat on medium. 

Just patiently wait for all the chunks to melt down.

Can we get a woohoo for natural goodness?! 

Ok, back to bussiness! 

Measure out one cup of washing soda and one cup of borax. 

I always have clumps in my powdered stuff so I like to break them down.

Slowly pour the soda and borax into the melted soap mixture. Mix well and make sure that it all dissolves. No clumps or grits allowed! Just kidding, but if they aren't gone it'll mess it up....so yeah ;) No grit allowed! 

Once everything is smoothly melted (add you essential oils now if you want them. I used lemon and lavender) then go ahead and slowly pour you mixture into a five gallon bucket.

Add warm-ish water to the bucket till it's about half way full. You'll want to try and keep the bubbles on the low. 

Some bubbles will happen so I just break them down gently while mixing the whole batch really well.

Cover and let is settle un-disturbed for about 12-ish hours.

After is gels mix up with you hands and smooth out the lumpy-ness. I always wear my wedding and engagement rings while doing it cause they come out super shiny and clean! So a win win!

Pour your mixture into your bottles and then you are good to go! Separation is going to happen, it inevitable. So just give your bottle a good shake up before you use it in your laundry. I usually use about 1/4-1/3 of a cup per load. And I use it in my HE washer. Never had a problem with it in my washer either.  

Hope you enjoy your day! I'm wrapping up mind watching a little New Girl on Netflix and folding some freshing washed laundry ;D
