At the recent Sweet Adeline convention, I was a vendor and received a lot of interest in my soaps . I enjoyed chatting with people about their preferences and had two different women ask about a laundry soap or a stain stick. I found recipes and decided to give this a try.
The recipe is an old-fashioned one using just water, lye and lard. It's the ratios that make you know it's for laundry and not for the skin! Most of my bath & body soaps are superfatted by 5% with my baby soap set at 8%. This ensures that all of the lye transforms to glycerin during the saponification process. This stain stick recipe is set at 0%.
I will be anxious to see how it really works on laundry. It will be ready in about 3 weeks. I'll keep you posted!
About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
