Homemade laundry soap is the best! Whether you are a lover of all things natural or skeptical and came to get the facts on using natural cleaners you came to the right place. I’ve had a ten year journey learning about and perfecting natural DIY recipes and today I’m sharing the best homemade laundry soap you’ll ever use.
The Best Natural Homemade Laundry Soap
I don’t know about you but I am always doing laundry and years ago it hit me there had to be a better way. Detergent was expensive and I felt like I was always running out. With a busy family of 7 we have a lot of laundry. I started researching safe and natural products to use for cleaning and ARM & HAMMER™ always had a top rating.
My love for DIY cleaning products started and we’ve never looked back. You can feel good about what you’re using around your kids and it saves money. That is a total win!

The Best Homemade Laundry Soap Recipe:
3 lb. 7 oz. box ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda
4 lb. Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda
4 bars of Castile Soap
optional: 1 bottle of Arm & Hammer Clean Scentsations ™ freshness booster
Directions:
- Grate or Shave Soap
- Mix 1/2 cup of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda and 1 bar of soap into a food processor (a mini food processor works just as good). Pulse for approx. 1 minute until it’s well blended.
- Continue step 2 with all of the soap bars. You can pour the soap mixture into a large bowl as you go.
- Pour the Baking Soda into Large bowl with ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda and soap mixture.
- Stir to incorporate everything and you are ready to wash.
Optional: add in some Clean Scentsations ™ freshness booster for an extra freshness booster Add approx. 2 Tbsp. to each Large Load (1 Tbsp for small loads)
ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda is a natural detergent booster and freshener. Clean Scentsations ™ freshness booster. Oh and did I mention it’s super cost effective to make your own laundry soap? Just a few cents a load. Yay!
The reason I like the option for adding in Clean Scentsations™ freshness booster is for some of the more smelly jobs. We have a special needs child that still has occasional accidents. Also using towels to dry off or wipe down a wet dog that extra bonus scent makes me feel much better. But again this is totally optional.
So what I do is split the laundry detergent into two separate containers. I have one that is natural 100% Fragrance & Phosphate Free and the other jar has the extra scent.
ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda can be used all around the home — not just in the laundry room! It’s a great natural product you can feel good about using in your home.
Connect with ARM & HAMMER™ on Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube.

I do! In fact, I just tried a new wood floor cleaner that includes vinegar, alcohol, dish soap and water. It worked pretty well!

I do not make my own cleaning products. I do always buy eco-friendly brands though. Never buy conventional anything in my home…not food, not personal care items, not household items. 😀
We’ve tried some using vinegar

Thanks!
I’m new to the whole DIY cleaning thing so I don’t have any “recipes” you wouldn’t already know, but one recent success was clearing a clogged drain using vinegar and baking soda. It worked like a charm and was a great non-toxic solution to the problem.
this sounds really great!

I make my own all purpose cleaner with water, rubbing alcohol, a little dish soap and lots of peppermint oil. I love how the peppermint oil makes my house smell.

I haven’t made my own laundry soap, but I do like to use baking soda and vinegar for cleaning up smelly messes. They really do a great job at getting rid of bathroom grime too!
I’ve tried making my own cleaning products but I’ve found that store bought just works better and isn’t much more expensive.

my mom makes a great diy vinegar cleaning solution
Vinegar is much better than traditional glass cleaner. You can add bit to a spray bottle with your favorite essential oil, and use as you would any other glass cleaner. Once you get the initial grime, and chemicals off of your glass, you won’t believe how they look.

I make a paste of baking soda and water to clean my bath tub and shower. I would like to start making more natural cleaning solutions.

I have never tried to make my own products, but this seems to be pretty easy and make a lot. I would definitely add in the scent booster because I love to have that extra smell in my laundry.
