Can you really make your own laundry detergent at home for a fraction of the cost of many commercial products?

In this episode, we're putting that question to the test!

You'll learn how to make a traditional homemade, soap-based laundry cleaner using simple ingredients such as bar soap, washing soda, borax, and water. We'll walk through the entire process—from grating the soap and dissolving the ingredients to mixing, storing, and using the finished product.

We'll also discuss some important considerations, including HE washing machines, hard water, soap residue, storage, and why homemade laundry products don't necessarily perform exactly like commercially formulated detergents.
