FYes. I recently did but be aware it is not scent less. So far I have had no problems and I am allergic to everything! I ALSO MADE shampoo and body wash. Good luck!

I use it for everything from dish soap, laundry soap and body products. I love it!

I use it to make my own laundry soap by mixing 1 cup of this with 1 cup of Borax and 2 cups of Fels-Naptha or Zote soap.

The only way I've ever used it is to make my own laundry soap mixing it with powders.

I have used this product to make soap, but be careful with your ratios. I made it a bit too weak to start out with.

I have not. But, I am using Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap - Lavender. I would like to know the answer as well since I like to add essential oils to my soap.

I make my own laundry detergent with 1 bar of Ivory Soap, 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda. Heat the soap, blend it into a powder, then mix in remaining ingredients. Use 1-2 TBSP per load. It works great is super cheap!

Hi Jerry. I actually came across the following link which is the one one that inspired me to make my own. Its pretty good. http://www.howdoesshe.com/cheaper-and-better-diy-laundry-detergent/ Also, I put a few drops of essential oil (mostly lavender, sometimes orange) on a tennis ball and throw it in the dryer and the clothes come out infused with whatever scent I choose. :0)

I use cold water to wash all my clothes and the soap nuts worked fine. I did not use the liquid version though. I soaked the soap nuts in hot water first before putting in the washer (along with the water). I also put in a bit oxi-clean and baking soda. I use the wool balls with essential oil for dryer instead of dryer sheet. They ,too, work very well for me.

Any soap I use hand soap from sams club works great saves money looks good easy to use and doesn't take up alot of space I hung mine without screws and is holding fine

Yes, I just use .25 percent of my laundry soap and add 2 capfuls of Dettol. Does a wonderful job of removing bad doers.

Yes it is perfect for that! You will probably want to dilute with water or almond because it is very concentrated soap

I made the liquid when I used them so I didn't have the actual soap nuts in the wash. Stopped using them long ago and just make my own detergent from soap, washing soda and borox.

I am not sure what would be best for mixing soap but I find that this whisk is a very nice size for mixing small amounts. I use it frequently for things like scrambling 2-3 eggs, blending cornstarch in liquid for sauce thickening and smaller amounts of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The whisk is sturdy enough to hold up to thicker, more dense mixtures so it seems it should work for soap blends in small batches

I have not. It appears to be sturdy enough for craft foam but I can't vouch for it.

I make my own laundry soap. I'm chemical sensitive soooo. Here is my recipe. 16 cups baking soda, 12 cups washing soda, 8 cups grated Castile or soap flakes. Combine all ingredients (add essential oil) if you want. Mix with a whisk. Use 1/8 of a cup. This recipe is enough for a family of 4 for a year. Good luck!

I've used Epsom salts & they work great. Be really easy on the soap or it'll overflow, but yes you can use soap.

I use pinesol and Murphy's wood oil soap with this all the time. I throw it in the washing machine to clean and then air dry it. Works great!
