just watching this vid… u and your husband are too funny
OMG my daughters name is Marlee too! Any way, I’m glad you used the oils because I got some orange essential oils to use in my cleaners too and I was wondering if it would work ok with laundry soap and not stain the clothes. Also, I saw your kids in your continued vids of the soap and they are just the cutest little things ever!
Yeah, We have been using natural laundry soap since my 2 1/2 year old was born. But it has been costly. So I am glad I have found a way to cut around that cost without sacrificing our health.
Thats great! I’d heard of a similar recipe a few years back….but settled on using the borax powder alone. Sometimes I’ll add baking soda for certain loads.

Do you just use dr. Bronners? How much do you use for a full load?
