The Munchkin told me that we are running out of laundry and washing up soap…what better way to spend a Sunday messing around with soap!

I think most readers have gathered by now that we make soap.  Lots of different types of soap for every conceivable occasion.  Now, not every batch of soap turns out right and figuring out what to do with this soap is a combination of a Bored-In-Belize project, not wasting things and not wanting to buy washing-up soap and laundry detergent (because one of us is Scottish and both of us are cheap!).

First you get old soap…

…grate it like so…

…putting it in a pot with water to boil…

…and pouring it into the ubiquitous pigtail bucket for storage!

The moral of the story is:  keep all your old soap bits and you can do this too in the comfort of your own home by following the recipe in Bored-In-Belize Projects:  Make Your Own Laundry Soap!!!

May all your laundry always be clean!!
