'Clean Clothes' DIY Laundry Soap

Great soap for handwash or making your own detergent!
If you don´t want to use animal fat, you can use only coconut oil, but you have to get the amount through soap calculator (e.g. here)
Superfatting is zero, because the only property needed in this soap in the cleansing one. You can also add some essential oils, but I like it this way- natural, it smells like cleanness.
Here is the recipe: 
 

               0% superfatting
             + scale
               stick blender
               container (for oils)
               container (for lye water) 
               spoon, spatula 
               silicone mould 
!Safety
Gloves, goggles, long sleeves, ventilated area. When splashing lye water or fresh soap on skin rinse the area with tapped water for 15 min.

Process:

• Weight all the ingredients

• Slowly add sodium hydroxide to the water and stir till it all dissolves. Let it cool to 30-35°C

• Melt the oil and lard and let also cool for the same temperature as the lye water is 

• Slowly add the lye water in your oils and stick blend to trace (pudding like)

• Add essential oils, stick blend once again (if you want you can add half spoon/ spoon of titanium dioxide dispersed in bit of oil- for more white soap) 

• Pour the soap into mould and let sit till next day (!as a mould I used big yoghurt plastic pot, but I don´t recommend to use it, it´s difficult to unmould, I had to cut the whole pot)

• Unmould, cut and let cure, 4 weeks is probably not necessary, but harder is better

Next week I´ll share with you the recipe for homemade detergent I´m using and how I fell in love with vinger used as fabric softener 😉

So what do you think about this "old classic" laundry soap? Will you try?
