Laundry Soap 

You don't need a plastic jug of blue mystery fluid to clean your clothes. You need soap, two minerals, and about thirty minutes.

This is old knowledge — the kind that got passed through kitchens and washhouses long before "fragrance-free" became a selling point. One batch makes two gallons and costs pennies per load.

Option 1: Laundry Soap Chunks - DIY
5 oz — grate-your-own soap for DIY laundry soap
Pure coconut oil laundry soap. Grate it, mix it, make it yours.

Description:

Five ounces of our coconut oil laundry soap in chunks — ready to grate into your own laundry soap recipe. Pair with washing soda and borax (not included) and you've got two gallons of liquid laundry soap for pennies a load.

For the folks who already know what they're doing, or who want to adjust ratios and essential oils to suit their household. Same soap. Your hands on the grater.

Directions: Grate soap. Combine with ½ cup/(5oz) washing soda and ½ cup/(5oz) borax. Directions are included, or get wet and rub directly on stains as a pre-treat.

Option 2: Dump & Pour Laundry Kit
15 oz — pre-measured soap, washing soda & borax

Everything you need for two gallons of laundry soap. Just add water.

Description:

One kit. Two gallons of laundry soap. No measuring, no guessing.

Pre-portioned laundry soap, washing soda, and borax — grated, measured, and ready to go. Boil your water, dump it in, stir, cool, blend, pour. That's it. Full instructions included.

Each kit makes approximately two gallons of liquid laundry soap — roughly 50+ loads at ¼ cup per load.

No plastic jugs. No synthetic fragrance. No optical brighteners. Just clean laundry.

Directions: Bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add entire contents of kit. Stir until dissolved. Pour over 1 gallon hot water in a bucket. Add 6 cups cold water. Stir. Let cool several hours, blend smooth, rest overnight, blend again, pour into jugs. Use ¼–⅓ cup per load. HE/front-load safe.
