Earthborn Elements Soap Flakes 5 Gallon Bucket, Homemade Laundry Detergent, Unscented

These Earthborn Elements soap flakes are exactly what I needed for making my own non-toxic cleaning and laundry products. The 2-gallon bucket is a generous size and should last me quite a while, even with regular use.The flakes dissolve easily in warm water and don’t have any overpowering scent—just that clean, natural soap smell. I’ve been using them to make homemade laundry detergent and all-purpose cleaner for around the farm, and they’ve worked great. My clothes come out fresh and clean, even after getting dirtied up in the goat shed or chicken coop.I also love that these are pure and free from unnecessary additives. That’s a big deal for us since we’re trying to keep things natural around the animals and for our family. The resealable bucket is sturdy and easy to store, which is another plus for anyone doing bulk DIY cleaning.If you’re into homesteading, natural living, or just want a simple and effective cleaning base, this is definitely worth having on hand.

Edit - company responded promptly with offer of replacement item. Great customer service and quality product.Would have given the product 5 stars if the bucket wasn’t defective. I will revisit my review if the company responds with a new lid or replacement.

Since 2020, my wife and I make our own laundry detergent. Usually we purchase a bar of Fels-Naptha and grate it up. This is way easier. It's hypoallergenic, and performs great. The cleaning action is the same as every other major brand. Personally, I use it in conjunction with Oxiclean, Washing Soda, and an enzyme cleaner.

Perfect for my home-made laundry soap!!! We all have sensitive skin and making my own laundry soap has saved us hundreds of dollars a year!

I really like this and would give it 5 stars but it needs to dissolve in cold water first before adding clothes. If not the flakes are all over clothes even after even a second rinse. It dissolves great in hot water. I love the way it is unscented. Ingredients are great. I mix it with washing soda & some borax. Gets clothes super clean & is gentle. Adding a few drops of lavender essential oil in rinse-it’s honestly the best detergent. I should add that I have a top loader.

using to make homemade natural laundry soap. I love that it's unscented and you only need a bit.

I have been making my own powdered laundry detergent for a couple of years and I did not want to have to grateful castile soap so these soap flakes have been a great option! It's currently time to make more...

OK, prompted to write a review, accidentally hit a star, can't seem to get out of it so will tell you I just ordered it, had only two loads of laundry with it. And, I used 1 tbsp for each load since I have yet to combine with my previous 10 lbs of homemade laundry powder.Back story, - husband thought he could make on his own homemade laundry powder (I truly so appreciated since I was working so much) but he forgot to add the soap. Soooo, Due to time restrictions I decided to just order this to add to what was made. I did add to our previous homemade powder laundry soap and I am amazed! I have previously bought the Zote soap flakes, but they didn't dissolve, but these do for my two loads so far and my newer washer! Thank God! What a time and money saver!So far I am golden. I'll write later to this should anything change.
