Homemade French Lavender Laundry Soap

Time to make more laundry soap.  This is the best stuff in the world.  I started making this soap two years ago and now I use nothing else. It's not difficult to make and it smells absolutely heavenly.  I think you'll be hooked as soon as you open the container.

I start with French Lavender soap that I buy in bulk blocks and coarsely grate it.  With a pastry cutter, I then chop the grated soap finely into the dry products to evenly distribute it throughout.  This allows the smaller soap pieces to melt easily and quickly during the wash cycle.

Just the smell of the lavender while making this laundry soap is so nice wafting through the house.  And it only  takes a few minutes and an arm workout to result in a double batch.

I have to smile.  As soon as my daughters heard I was making laundry soap today, each of them put in their order for a refill. Lavender essential oil has antiseptic, antidepressant and antiviral properties.  Lavender is also known as a bactericide and fungicide making it perfect to really clean our clothing.

There are varying recipes online.  Here's mine if you want to make it yourself.  If that's just not your thing, you can pick it up under "The French Market" tab above.  It only takes 2T for each load making the cost to do a load of laundry very minimal for such a powerful cleaner. You can purchase either the 2qt refill or 2qt with canister & scoop.   And it comes with an "inspired to inspire" gift card and scripture verse, making it a wonderful gift.
