The time has come to make more laundry detergent in my house. It is actually one of my kids favorite things to help me with. They love using the food processor to grate the bar soap, stirring the detergent and then watching it ooze back into the detergent jug I have used over and over again.

I am still using the first purchase of laundry ingredients that I purchased back in October. I love pinching pennies!
HERE is the link to my original post. Let me know what you think and how it worked for you. I know you are going to LOVE it!
** A note ~ This time around I ’skimmed the scum” once it has cooled enough for the bubbles to congeal. You will recognize it when you see it! I am thinking this will make the detergent more pourable. These chunks of scum have made my detergent just that, chunky in the past. Also this time I got my hands into the whole batch and really mixed it up. Not just with a whisk as I have done in the past but I used my fingers to really squeeze the clumps apart. I am hoping this will help make it more fluid coming out of the pour spout. But I have also come to grips with the fact that it is either going to be chunky coming out of the spout or I am going to have to tip it out of the fill hole.
Speaking of fill hole her is how I got my latest batch into my container. This is the 16.9 oz Mt. Dew bottle with the bottom cut off. Perfect fit!
