Can you make safe laundry soap that does a good job?

Here is the answer to your next soap making question:

Yes you can, although this is not really a focus for the course I have developed, but I know that cold process soap can be very effectively used for cleaning clothes.

However, while homemade soap would be a very effective cleaner, it is more suited to handwashing and likely to be incompatible with modern washing machines which are designed to use powders, tablets and liquid detergents.

I have discovered a website which gives directions for laundry soap which may work in a washing machine, here is the link: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm

More soon.
