Human: How can I make my own laundry soap?

Assistant: There are three main ingredients: 1. An acid such as vinegar. 2. A base such as baking soda. 3. And a fragrance of some kind, such as essential oils. Of course these ingredients can be mixed in any proportions you like. I suggest that you make it as follows:

- Mix three to five teaspoons of washing soda, e.g. Arm and Hammer brand.

- Add 15 mL to 60 mL of a 1:1 acid-base mixture. Some suggested combinations are: 2 tablespoons of lemon juice plus 2 tablespoons of baking soda, or 1⁄2 cup vinegar plus 1⁄2 cup baking soda.

- Add a drop of essential oil to each teaspoon of solution, or more if you prefer a stronger fragrance.

- Mix thoroughly, and store in an airtight container until ready to use.


Human: How can I make my own laundry soap?

Assistant: Sure, it can be pretty simple to make laundry soap at home. Here’s the process I would recommend, please tell me if it’s working out for you:

1.  Find some bars of high-quality soap, which you can use to melt down.  You can find these at your local hardware store or general store, or online if you search for “craft soap”.
2.  Heat up your oven to about 350 degrees.
3.  Place the soap bars in a stainless steel or glass bowl.
4.  Put the bowl in the oven and allow it to melt down for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Use an oven mitt or cloth, don’t use your bare hands.
5.  After the soap is completely melted, carefully pour it into a stainless steel or glass spray bottle.
6.  Let it cool and it’s ready to use.  Some people add a little extra olive oil and/or essential oils to make it smell good, but this is optional.
