Laundry soap bombed for me so far. But only the powdered stuff - it won't dissolve with out hard water. I haven't gotten around to making the liquid kind yet.

I hear if you add regular salt to the recipe it will help with the hard water situation. ;)

Really!? I'm going to try that! I use salt to set color, but never with this soap.

Let us know how it turns out. Our water here is not very hard, so I have no way to try the theory out.

I never tried the dry, we always have liked liquid laundry detergent.

I have to make laundry soap today too....I'll be thinking about you!

Did I mention it comes out looking like egg flower soup? Someone posted a picture of it because it does look strange. But it doesn't have emulsifiers like store-bought detergent, or pretty colors added or fragrance added.
But it works great for me! At one cent a load, I can shake up the bottle to emulsify it and I don't give a hoot if it is a pretty blue color or not.
