Dr bronners as laundry det

So I was using the Borax, Washing Soda, and bar soap combo but I am getting tired of grating the soap. I was wondering if I can subsistute Dr Bronners as the soap portion?

 TIA

Re: Dr bronners as laundry det

  • Do you mean Dr. Bronner's liquid because I use Dr.B's in my laundry detergent, but I use the bar soap. I have never tried the liquid. Personally, I shred the soap bars in the food processor (pics here) a couple of bars at a time and it is really easy.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Yeah liquid sorry bout that. I had been doing the bar soap but I can't keep my food processor out and it's just a pain to get it out just being lazy.

  • Dr. B's Sal Suds says to use 1/4 cup as laundry detergent. I'm trying it on some linens today, with a 1/2 cup Borax. I'll see how it goes!
  • Thanks ladies I'll try it
