I store some in 5-gallon buckets, but I don't live where it's humid. Store the finished product in an airtight container, preferably glass to keep it dry. I have a HE-High Efficiency washer, and it works great in regular washing machines as well. I use 1-3 teaspoons per load, depending on the size of the load. After doing this, it will look just like the store-purchased detergent, but will not include all the “fillers." You will use less product per load and will have fewer “soap bubbles." Remember, just having bubbles doesn’t mean clean. Put these 3 ingredients in a blender to blend. Grate the bar of soap by hand, or use an electric vegetable grater. You can use a salad shooter or just a plain grater to grate the bars of soap. I make it in huge quantities to share with my daughters. Here’s the deal, you don’t have to invest in a lot of equipment to make laundry detergent. You could also use mason jars, but I opted for this glass jar. I waited about an hour and went back and made a few more batches in order to fill the gallon container. You will have to let your blender of choice cool down between batches because it may overheat. You can use a cheese grater as well, just be careful while grating so you don’t damage your fingers. I used a Vegetable Grater to shred the bars of soap. This year I used my Nutriblender to blend the ingredients instead of my Bosch blender. Then I wash the items to rid them of any bleach residue. When I’m done I soak them with a little bleach and rinse them with really hot water and that works out great for me since I don’t taste or smell the detergent on the tools. Some people say it makes their cheese grater or blender smell like soap. If you have a cheese grater and a blender you can make this stuff. Gotta love the savings, and it does a great job getting my clothes clean! I started out using 1 tablespoon, but I got the same results with half of that, so now it makes my cost even less. I only use 1-3 teaspoons of laundry detergent in my front-end loader washing machine (HE). I couldn’t do that with liquid detergent.
I have several years stored in a closet in five-gallon buckets. Yep, I will probably never run out of the stuff. I prefer the dry over the liquid because I’m one of those chicks that like to be prepared for the unexpected and we all need to do laundry. It is really easy to make laundry detergent, it really is. What I love about this recipe is you can make as little or as much as you want at any given time.

I highly recommend a Lavario Portable Washing Machine

I decided to update this post to show my readers how to make it. I had a friend teach me how to make it years ago and that’s how I was able to write that original post. Some people may call it laundry soap, either way, you get the idea. When I started my blog ten years ago, I wrote a post about making DIY laundry detergent.
