He can't decide if he wants to wear his shoes or not.
Do you have one of these in your home?
Do you have family members that have very sensitive skin or extreme allergies?
We do so I decided to try something a little different.
The following Sensitive Skin Laundry Detergent Recipe is a trial to see how well it will work.
When the children were little the pediatrician told me to use white Dial Soap, only white.
To this day it is the only soap that some of us can even bathe with.
Yes I miss the bubble baths ...
INGREDIENTS
Your choice of
BAR SOAP: Dial White, Kirk's Castile or Ivory
You need the following
ARM & HAMMER SUPER WASHING SODA, 20 MULE TEAM BORAX,
ARM & HAMMER BAKING SODA
(optional ~ great for softening hard water)
for cleaning around the house. There are so many uses for the two of these items.
YOU HAVE TO GRATE THE SOAP
I am lucky enough to own a wonderful grater attachment for my KitchenAid Mixer and it works great! You can certainly use a hand grater it will work just as well. I happen to always be in a hurry and a little on the lazy side, so I choose convenience.
You can stop here if you like your soap pieces large.
I have seen others do this. I choose to take another step to chop mine finely.
This makes it easier to use cold water and works better also with warm.
Laundry Detergent for Sensitive Skin
1 Bar Dial, Castile or Ivory Soap (approx. 2 cups)
1 Cup Borax
1 Cup Washing Soda
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
Grate your soap
chop your soap in processor with the borax, washing soda and baking soda
that is all you have to do
store in airtight closed container and label
Use 2 tablespoons for a large load
**Can be used in regular laundry but increase amount used to 1/4 cup**
Use your own discretion with smaller loads
this detergent is gentle enough for baby laundry and color free.
**My Notes**
I have an old Black & Decker Food Processor..I say old but it isn't very old just not
very good at preparing food. It works great at chopping soap, so glad I didn't trash it.
(I have a KitchenAid Architect Food Processor I now use for food prep.
I can tell you it is well worth the sale price of $149.00 that it cost.)
This Recipe can be doubled, tripled, you decide how much you want to make
For trial purposes I doubled to share with daughter.
I recommend that you buy a huge bag of baking soda & plenty of white vinegar
for cleaning around the house. There are so many uses for the two of these items.

You can use the Ivory for the baby detergent also but I would try the Dial or Castile for Sensitive Skin Detergent
I know the Castile Soap cleans good for gentle, and baby laundry. The Dial works well too.
I strongly suggest that you wear a mask. The dust from these powders and soaps will hurt your sinuses, and I don't imagine safe either.
