What is the procedure in making laundry detergent?

Question

I found one formulation in making powder laundry detergent consisting of soda ash, sodium alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (sles), sodium tripolyphosphate (stpp), linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (labs) and fragrance/scent. I want to know which one goes in first.

Answer 1

1/3 bar Fels Naptha or Ivory Soap or homemade goat milk soap – you can usually find the Fels in the laundry aisle of the store

Ѕ cup washing soda – this is not baking soda, again it is usually located in the laundry aisle

Ѕ cup borax powder – again find it in the laundry section.

~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~



Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel. You use Ѕ cup per load.
