Very cool. May have to try it!

[T-Bolt]

I need to try this. Sounds like a great idea.

[Bjankowski]

Good Idea; if I had the time I'd try it.

Im going to make a batch when mine runs out

My wife has been making this for our front load HE washer for the past 4 years. Our simple calculation is we have saved about $1600 dollars over the past 4 years, in laundry detergent. (Our machine runs pretty much all day with 5 people in the house)

Works great....and its almost scent free (to me anyway).

Do you care to share the recipe you use for the He washer machine.......?

[Smokeater]

Ditto. We use non-scented anyway...smell comes from the fabric softener. Would love the HE recipe as well. Thnx

[dragonsdaddy]

use non-scented soap(dove works for me) and you never have to worry whether your hunting clothes have any aroma, or any brighteners. go with the dry recipe. it is as good and much easier. it is the main thing i use my food processor. 2 months worth in less than 10 minutes.

If I understand correctly HE soap is just loan suds.

My washer is a HE washer and the soap works great.

I made some Sunday. Took about $12 and 10 minutes, and looks like I'll be able to make several more batches. Works great too.

Im going to try this. Laundry soap is so expensive these days

[cattlelackranch]

Hmmmm. May give this one a shot. Wife will continue to think I'm crazy. I can tell her I saved enough money to buy another gun.

how to do you the zote soap shredded that small?

Edit: never mind...figured out to use the old food processor that's in the cabinet and hasn't seen the light of day in years....now it has a new purpose...mixing laundry soap!

[RGVBowHunter]

I made the dry recipe. Going to try it today.

2 cups Borax
2 cups laundry soda
2 cups oxy clean
1 bar Zote laudry soap shreded

use 1/2 table spoon for small load 1 table spoon for large load.

Gonna make some tonight

How did it work.. Did you put it thru a food processor to make those zote flakes smaller.
