I have made liquid laundry soap several times using the first recipe in the sticky. I have decided I would ike o use Borax in addition to the Dr. Bronner's soap and washing soda. I normally use 1 cup of washing soda per 1/2 bar of Dr. Bronner's. Using that recipe, how much Borax should I use per load? Or would it be best to make the detergent as I normally do and then add the Borax to each load as it is put into the washing machine?
I bought 2 bars of Dr. Bronner's tonight and plan on making a huge batch this evening.
I used a different soap (not Bronner's) with the last batch. I am not sure what it was, but I know it was tea tree oil from Trader Joe's and it was horrible! I followed the recipe as normal and the resulting product was freaking solid! Then the washing machine did not completely dissolve the solid and little bits of soap stuck to the clothes. Then the clothes has little bleached/faded spots where the soap has stuck. Ugh. I am going to stick with Dr. Bronner's fnow on. Anyone have any ideas what happened?
