Has anyone heard anything about or actually used the Wonderwash? I’m thinking of getting one, but I’d like some feedback from real people who aren’t getting paid to promote it! 🙂
Here’s a link to some local TV station’s segment testing it:

I made the soap this weekend. I used “Sandy Maine’s Basic 3-Oil Soap Recipe“, a very simple recipe that uses Crisco. I decided against using the butter Crisco, at least on my first try.
Everything went together smoothly. Only two problems: I used the HI setting on the crock pot to melt the Crisco and coconut oils, which meant I had to wait for…[Read more]

How long do you have to cure the Crisco soap before it is ready for use?
It needs to cure for 6 weeks, just like any other cold-process hard soap. I just found a source of coconut oil, so I’m going to try to make that three-oil base soap either this afternoon or tomorrow. I just finished curing my first batch of liquid…[Read more]

They’ll help, but they’ll work best if they’re underground or surrounded by reinforced concrete.

First, a pet peeve of mine: It’s just “ham”. It’s not an abbreviation, and originally started as an insult from the professional telegraph radio operators when complaining about the amateurs’ bad practice.
Second, check out the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) website for current information and suggestions in getting your license. http://www.a…[Read more]

Thanks, ReadyMom! I’ve also got some “butter-flavored” Crisco; I’ll have to see what kind of soap THAT makes!

Has anyone tried making soap out of Crisco? I just found some in the back of my cupboard that’s a year past its “best by” date, and I just got to wondering if I could use it to make soap.

They’re available at Lehmans, costing about as much as a new Kenmore.

Here’s a link to the blog entry with the recipe: http://qjcp.blog.com/2009/09/28/doing-the-laundry-warrants-a-blog-entry/. The recipe is about 2/3 of the way down the page.

It could be that whatever soap they were using wasn’t rinsed all the way out. I’ve found that’s the hardest thing to do when you’re doing laundry by hand. (or by foot in the bathtub.)

Here is a link to some great soap-making articles on the Walton Feed website that should answer your questions. We have stocked lye, but like Alaska Rose has said, you can make it from ashes if you have to and add it to rendered fat.
And just to mention something about making your own lye:

I’m lucky. The grocery store across the street sells it for $1.10 normally. Now all I have to do is find a used cheese grater to use in grating it and I’ll be set to go.

OK. There’s a similar discussion going on in the “Disaster Survival” forum, in the thread titled “One Second After.” I’m going to repost something I put there yesterday:

Birdgirl, don’t buy Clorox in bulk. It does NOT have an indefinite storage life, possibly as little as 6 months. Instead, find a place that sells swimming pool supplies (try Wal-Mart) and buy a bag of Calcium Hypochlorite. Make sure you get JUST the 65% Calcium Hypochlorite, and not with fungicides, etc. Provided you keep the bag dry and don’t…[Read more]
