Boiling water and kids don't always mix well without adult supervision. While the washing soda, soap, vinegar and conditioner are safe, the Borax is mildly toxic if ingested, and should probably be handled by an adult. @ Heather: Indeed it could make a good summer project for the kids, so long as they’re supervised.

Would it be safe for them to play with (you know as long as they didn't snack on it) This may be a summer project the kids can mess with.

On the other hand, I'm going to need a clothes line for sheets and towels anyway. I suspect that in the end, it will be a combination of the two that work the best for me. Thanks for the tip - LnT is always nice because you can always grab 20% off there! Let me know how the laundry soap making goes. I'd think that you could make it a family project - having an excuse to make a big bucket of slime in the kitchen with mom's approval should go over well with the kids!

I recommend a drying rack for drying clothes sans clothesline - http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1362775 We have one of those and haven't used it in a while. They're sturdier than they look, though you're only going to do a few shirts/pants at a time. I am pretty sure we’re going to try this at home, Dan.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave another comment or e-mail me using the "contact" link at the top of the page. Happy Soap Souping! :) Christy, I just followed the directions Trent has posted over at The Simple Dollar: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2008/04/09/making-your-own-laundry-detergent-a-detailed-visual-guide/
