I love that you make your own laundry soap. How do you do it? A basic summary? We are going to be making our own cheese and soap one day and are considering Bees.
You may look it up ("Google it.") online. Most recipes are about the same. I make my own, too. If I can do it, it must be easy. Here's the recipe I use.
My grandmother made her own soap well into the 50's. I remember stacks of the yellow cakes of soap in her basement near her wringer washer. She would peal it into the washer with a paring knife. It was rather harsh and her towels were always kind of stiff. Of course it didn't help she didn't have a dryer and hung clothes out year round, even when it was freezing.
