Homemade Laundry Soap Comparison Review
This is the comparison review of homemade laundry soap to a leading store bought brand. See the How-To section for the recipe and instructions.
From my test I think the recipe for the liquid form is a little light on the ingredients. For such a low cost, I am going try another batch when this runs out and see if it will fight stains better with an increase of ingredients. Overall, the soap did great as far getting the clothes clean but not so much on removing stains. Here are the steps I took in my test.

After Being Washed/Dried in Separate Loads With Respective Detergent:

I think a stain pre-treatment is still needed, but almost with both brands. Overall, I am not going back to store bought laundry soap.
