Curing makes the soap milder and helps for the water to evaporate. Since this is for laundry and you are superfatting only at 1%, you can shred it as soon as it's hard enough. Don't forget to wear gloves!

I shred my laundry bars right after I make them. I also don't worry about letting the bars cure since it's just for laundry.

Please post with how it works out, I've been wanting to try making my own laundry soap, but I've been procrastinating.

Oh I wish I had a good food processor that will grind up coconut oil laundry soap...can you tell me which one you use?

All I have is a Ninja and it doesn't do a very good job, plus the air is full of powder which is messy and aggravating. So, I have been using a potato peeler and I wear gloves and start peeling the soap about 1-2 hours after I pour and it has solidified. I will usually let the "peels" dry out a couple of days, then they can be crumpled up and used in the laundry. I have not found that it is necessary to let it cure 4-6 weeks. As you can imagine this is time consuming so would love to find a food processor that would grind it up quickly!

I finally got around to making my laundry soap today. Here's a pic right after I poured it into the mold. The 2 white bars are unscented for my daughter, and the off-white ones are scented w/lemon & lime EOs for husb & I. I expected the batch to trace fast since everyone says 100% CO soap hardens fast, but it didn't. All I have is a Magic Bullet lovegreyhounds, so I hope it works. Will post an update later.

Rgere is probally an easier way but I use those hard cheese shredders that has the little wheel and you just crank it and the wheel turns and shreds the soap (do y'all even know what I am talking about ) they are really cheap (at least when I got mine a while back) Oh! and they may sell electric ones now

Why grate your soap? First of all use liquid soap, & keep some dry washing soda/baking soda/borax mixed up in a tub by the laundry machine. Just add like a cup of powdered n a squirt of liquid soap.

Just the liquid soap cleans my cloths great. I use 100% coconut 0% superfat for laundry & dishes.

Do you have a good recipe for liquid 100% CO laundry soap? I would love to have it if you do. I am looking to try making laundry soap for the first time so I am a complete newbie at this. You will have to explain it so I understand everything. Don't get me wrong. I have made hard 100% Coconut oil soap but never liquid. Would love to try, though.

Sure, Vonnedeak. The basic recipe is pretty easy, just run it thru the BB lye calc w 100% coconut using 0% superfat. For laundry n dishes.

Yes, there is a much better way to make LS but nobody teaches it here for some reason. You can make LS from room temp glycerin in about 20 mins. Soapy Sugar was kind enough to teach me and i will help you. Pls read this post starting where Soapy makes her first comment and if you have any questions i'm happy to answer them.
