I haven't posted anything in this blog for a long time but that certainly doesn't mean I haven't been making soap! My laundry stain sticks are out being tested and the results are quite positive. I've gone ahead and ordered a supply of empty twist-up tubes and my next batch will go straight into those tubes for sales.
In addition, the laundry detergent is being tested in both the powder and liquid form. I have personally used each and am not very thrilled with the liquid. I read about a different procedure that I'd like to try before I completely give up on this project.
The powdered laundry detergent is quite nice and we really like it. I am ordering brown paper bags with a window in the front (like the kind with coffee beans in them) and will soon have Nana's Laundry Soap ready to go. This will be sold by weight and costs much less than the commercial detergents on the market. We'll see how it sells at the fall craft shows.
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!
