We made homemade bar soap on Sunday with friends. Now that we've been taught how to make the soap I think Dusty and I are going to try it again in a couple weeks. Our friends that taught us, make the soap together as a team, and both Dusty and I liked that idea.We wanted to learn how to make it so we can stop buying commercial soap that is full of chemicals. The soap we made has 1 chemical verses like 15 chemicals in commercial soap. Plus like with most things we do, we like knowing where it comes from.
I replaced our laundry soap and dishwasher soap with homemade soap that I made on Monday. It's still in the testing stages but I'll let you know how we like it once we have a better idea. We've done about 5 loads of laundry with the homemade soap and like it so far. We've done one 1 load of dishes in the dishwasher and so far so good.
You really can't beat the price. The laundry soap works out to .1 cent per load and even less than that with the dishwasher soap!! A big container of laundry soap that serves 64 loads costs .64 cents. I was paying $17 for Tide and $11.99 for Kirkland brand.

Recipes, please!!!
Well, I took a vow of silence with the bar soap but I can tell you all about the laundry soap and dishwasher soap!!!
Only silent on that particular recipe Leia :) You are free to try others and share them all you want ;>.
SO how did it cut? If you just can't wait, it would be ok to start using it in about 2 weeks. I like a 4 week cure time, because it helps the bar last longer, but 3weeks is good enough if you are dying to use it!
