EXPERIENCED LAUNDRY SOAP DIY'ers
If you are experienced in making your own you might like to see the Hibiscus House Laundry Soap Mixtures I've made and used for over 3 years!
Hey Everybody! I was having a day of laundry when it hit me; I haven't shared this DIY mixture of laundry detergent with you. I say detergent but it is really laundry soap without some of the harmful detergents and additives found in laundry cleaners.
A little Southern Traditions Tidbit:
You know we southerners have fond memories that we like to share associated with things. Although this particular picture has nothing to do with laundry soap I can tell you that my mama probably had to use some by the time I finished playing on that particular day!
YOU MUST USE THIS PARTICULAR PINK SOAP FOR THE SOFTENER. LIRIO IS SOLD ON AMAZON.
