A note about homemade laundry soap

A little over a month ago I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap. Wanna know how check out this earlier post.

I filled up my laundry soap container (an old ALL laundry soap dispenser) from my 5-gallon bucket of soap today. I thought it was worth mentioning that as the 5-gallon bucket sits it does gel a lot... so after I stirred the 5-gallon bucket (with half a curtain rod - it's all I could find:-) I filled up my laundry soap container half full and added warm water this seemed to melt that gelled part pretty well. Also note that the recipe mentioned shaking the laundry soap container (not the 5-gallon bucket!) before each dispense.

I am still loving my laundry soap - it hurt my wallet a lot less to wash all those summer clothes!
