Detergent-free laundry soap

[[email protected]]

I am wondering if anyone has a recipe for making laundry soap that is detergent free.

Fels naptha and other bar soaps used for laundry soap recipes have ingredients that I would rather avoid for my son. Using washing soda and borax makes my skin itch.

Currently I use a hot process soap that is used for homemade liquid handsoap. It has coconut, castor, and jojoba, and I leave it a bit more concentrated.

Anyone really like soap nuts? I have a front load washer, btw.

Just looking for additional ideas. Thanks!

Have you tried doing a search of the forum? There is a recipe here somewhere for using CP soap and melting or watering it down and adding sure gel. Maybe try a search of sure gel and see if you come up with it. Sounds interesting, I even made a batch of soap specifically for this method once and never got around to it. Maybe I should search it up myself!

Try cutting back on the amount of washing soda and borax if I use too much my skin itches also.

Have you tried "soap nuts"?
