One of my favorite ways to save money is by making my ain bootleg laundry detergent. However at that place'southward one thing that kinda Flusters me about it, the Fels-Naptha Soap is always and then coarse. I use both of the blades in my nutrient processor, only I can never get information technology chopped up fine enough.

The other solar day when I was perusing Pintrest, I came across the Microwave Ivory Soap experiment. I've seen the pin many times before equally I'm certain you have, in fact, I even tried the experiment with my kids. It wasn't until the other day that a low-cal went off in my head, I wondered if microwaving a bar of Fels-Naptha soap would work as well as it does with the ivory soap.

Luckily, when I got this vivid thought, I was starting time to run low on my laundry detergent and information technology was time to brand a new batch.

I'm please to report that it worked pretty darn good. The just difference is that the Fels-Naptha doesn't grow and become as flaky as the Ivory lather does.

Ideally I would accept loved for it to be flaky, that way I could take eliminated having to use the food processor, but you can't take everything.

*Bonus – my microwave smelled fresh after microwaving the soap.

Microwaving it really eliminated the density of the lather, see all of those lovely fiddling air pockets?

Those air pockets are what made information technology really piece of cake to get a fine grate on the bar of soap.

Before, I would take to employ both blades of my food processor to suspension up the bar of Fels-Naptha and information technology sounded like I was trying to grind rocks. Now I just accept to use the chopping blade and it then much easier on food processor.

*Bonus – I only have to make clean the chopping blade now which is a lot easier to clean than the shredding blade is.

You tin can run into the departure that microwaving the bar of soap before putting it in the nutrient processor does from this photograph. I'm really pleased with the results.

Yay! The Fels-Naptha for my homemade laundry detergent isn't every bit course now and my Fluster has been Disrepair!!!!
