Even with the filtration system, could I still use your detergent recipe, since technically we have well water? It won’t damage my washing machine or clothes since we’ll be using filtered well water, will it?

Not the entire batch but as I need to use it? I’m thinking 2 T to maybe 2 C hot water or heat up 2 T with 2 C water, stirring until melted but not to boiling (I read this somewhere not to boil). I have a well and septic and using powdered detergents is not recommended. TIA

I have a top loading HE machine, should I use the same amount as you suggest for a front loading HE machine?

Thank you!

Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, neutralizes the negative charge of magnesium in hard water with its positive sodium charge. This reaction transforms the hard water minerals into a soluble form that can be rinsed away.

Best wishes

I’ve read that washing soda is damaging to wool and silk fabrics…. have you had any issues with these kinds of fabrics?

Hi Laura! I was wondering what brand of goat milk soap do you use? Thanks so much!
