Thanks so much for the response :) I think I’m going to start out using half and then go from there and gradually add more if I feel like the laundry needs it :)

Johanna, we’ve never used Zote, and our Fels Naptha bars are only about 6 oz. Perhaps you could start with half, and after a load of laundry, if you’re not satisfied, you could try the rest? Or you could just make a much larger batch with your whole bar and add in 2 cups of Borax and 2 cups of washing soda – saving you time down the road!

I just got all my ingredients tonight and I can’t wait to make this!!!! I’m gradually switching our household to chemical free and this is such an easy switch, I’m excited to try it out :) I do have a question though, instead of fels I am using a bar of the pink zote soap, and it is 14oz… Do I use the whole thing or only half since its such a big bar?

[...] I wanted to mention this home made laundry soap recipe from Yellow Brick Home. I made my first batch in January, and I have made two more batches since [...]

I have been using this soap for about a year in my front loader and love it. I have stopped buying tide and other brands since I started making this. I also stopped buying fabric softer since I bought two balls from Norwex for the dryer.

I of course am late to this party and just made this about a month ago along with a liquid version that replaces the fels naphtha soap with liquid blue Dawn. I like both recipes a lot. I’m also going more natural by switching my dryer sheets with the vinegar rinse. Even mo hubby was impressed with the way both recipes work. Thanks for sharing.
