How to use zote laundry soap Step-By-Steps

Step1. grade the whole bar of soap into the bucket.

It takes a few minutes but it’s actually very easy, it takes a little effort to make your homemade laundry soap but it’s really worth it, and when you wash your blankets and your sheets and your jackets and all just all your clothing your curtains everything just comes so clean and nice and fresh no chemical.

The soap also gets the sweaty smell out of work clothes.

Warning: Be careful not to get your fingers when you get down to the end.

Step2. you’ll need some plastic gallon jars to put your soap into.

you can use plastic milk bottles or vinegar bottles it’s better they’re a little thicker a little more heavy-duty than the milk bottles that are thin plastic.

Step3. get two gallons of hot water dumped into the grated soap shavings.

what this does is the hot water starts dissolving the soap shavings.

Step4. Stir the zote soap and the hot water for a while and let these dissolve in the hot water.

Step5. scoop it up so you can see what it looks like.

You’ll note some bubbles, you might say all those bubbles you said there were no bubbles but I don’t, in the beginning, it makes a few bubbles not many, and if you can look.

you’ll see the little shavings starting to dissolve.

when you’re using this all the time as your home you know your home laundry soap you do want to speed the process up, and the beginning you’re kind of like it’s a hobby it’s so much fun and you take your time and it’s wonderful but you know as life goes on and you’re truly using this as your homemade product you know you have things to do you want to get it done as fast as you can.

Step6.

Once you have stirred the soap and the hot water for two minutes you’ll note that it’s all dissolved and there are no more Zote shavings, they’re completely dissolved.

Step7. get two more gallons of hot water to fill the bucket up to the top.

only do two at a time because it’s just easier to stir it and you don’t splash it out of the bucket.

If you choose to add your borax (soda) to your laundry detergent.

Step8. Add your cup of borax (soda).

Step9. add two more gallons of hot water. (this is gallon number four)

You can feel the borax in the bottom of the bucket it’s like gritty so you know it takes time you have to stir quite a bit to get that dissolved

You may make my soap out on the porch it’s just easier in case you splash or spill.

Step10. move this bucket out to the porch when it only has four gallons in it.

add the fifth gallon out on the porch because it’ll be to the tippity-top.
give it a final stir.
put the lid on the bucket.

make sure you have a lid for the 5-gallon bucket

the important part of making this homemade laundry so no matter if you add the borax or not you have to stir it enough it takes quite a while to stir it up if you want it to come out good after this soap.

Step11. Sits this homemade 24 hours.

it’ll be thicker you’ll note before sits it 24 hours seems like it’s just water you know it’s just watery soap but after it sits overnight this will be more like a gel it’ll be thicker and this is double strength.

Step12. After sitting 24 hours on the porch give it another final stir.

Stir it for a while until you see it thick and looks like gel give it time in stirring, if you see it still like water just stir and stir.

Step13. Get two jugs here full with half full of warm water.

put the funnel in jug.
pour the soap in there all right you want to leave just a little bit of room in the jug so you can shake the soap up.
give it a good shake every time you go to use it
