Lard Laundry Bar Soap

 This batch helped me  find out what is the quantity limit  .  In my biggest soap pot, the oil  cannot exceed 4, 000g,  and lye solution cannot exceed 3,000g.  That is 7,000 ml total of soap mixture.  Beyond this amount,  I would have trouble using stick blender to go through the whole soap making procedure. 

June 17, 2011     Room Temperature 78℉,   Humidity 35% 。 Four times the original recipe.
oil temperature at 54℃,   lye solution at  74℃,  mixing at 57℃。   It took 10 minute to trace well.

lard                          2,400g
coconut oil             1,600g
lye                                636g
distilled water        1,588g
borax                         12 TB
sugar                              1 C
ammonia                      1  C
vitamin E oil         32 drops

This soap took 24 hours to cure.  The cleansing power of this recipe  is excellent for cotton clothing.

  After I pour the trace soap into the soy milk cartons, I stapled the opening.  I also use empty Pringles containers.
 Part of the laundry soap.  I cut soap blocks into quarters for easy shredding.
 It took some patience to shread the soap. The shreadded soap dissolve in laundry faster.
I put the shredded soaps in paper carton to let them dry out.
