Earthborn Elements Soap Flakes, Homemade Laundry Detergent, Tallow-Based, Unscented (1 Gallon)

These Earthborn Elements soap flakes are exactly what I needed for making my own non-toxic cleaning and laundry products. The 2-gallon bucket is a generous size and should last me quite a while, even with regular use.The flakes dissolve easily in warm water and don’t have any overpowering scent—just that clean, natural soap smell. I’ve been using them to make homemade laundry detergent and all-purpose cleaner for around the farm, and they’ve worked great. My clothes come out fresh and clean, even after getting dirtied up in the goat shed or chicken coop.I also love that these are pure and free from unnecessary additives. That’s a big deal for us since we’re trying to keep things natural around the animals and for our family. The resealable bucket is sturdy and easy to store, which is another plus for anyone doing bulk DIY cleaning.If you’re into homesteading, natural living, or just want a simple and effective cleaning base, this is definitely worth having on hand.

We absolutely love these tallow flakes. We mix it with borax and washing soda and our laundry comes out fantastic. I love that there's no Odor and it works really really well. There's so much less waste now that we don't buy bottles and bottles of detergent. It doesn't affect anybody's skin badly either. This is our second purchase and we are lifelong customers.

Edit - company responded promptly with offer of replacement item. Great customer service and quality product.Would have given the product 5 stars if the bucket wasn’t defective. I will revisit my review if the company responds with a new lid or replacement.

No noticeable scent. Great value for the money. I use this to create my own homemade laundry soap. Definitely a great size and space saving container it comes in is nice. It certainly does a good job at residue removal on my clothes when combined with some borax and washing soda. Makes my clothes feel soft and clean. Perfect environmental friendly alternative and chemical free.

Since 2020, my wife and I make our own laundry detergent. Usually we purchase a bar of Fels-Naptha and grate it up. This is way easier. It's hypoallergenic, and performs great. The cleaning action is the same as every other major brand. Personally, I use it in conjunction with Oxiclean, Washing Soda, and an enzyme cleaner.

I really like this and would give it 5 stars but it needs to dissolve in cold water first before adding clothes. If not the flakes are all over clothes even after even a second rinse. It dissolves great in hot water. I love the way it is unscented. Ingredients are great. I mix it with washing soda & some borax. Gets clothes super clean & is gentle. Adding a few drops of lavender essential oil in rinse-it’s honestly the best detergent. I should add that I have a top loader.

Soap flakes work well, came well packaged, and were delivered by the scheduled day. I purchased it because it does not have many ingredients and additives, it is cost effective, convenient as it saves time and effort from manually grating soap, and it is well packaged, so it is easy to store and maintain product humidity level.I also like that it works well. The clothes come out clean, it has not caused sking sensitivity for us, and it is unscented. It can also be used to clean bathroom with appropriate formula.Two ways to avoid issues regarding undissolved flakes in the washing machine are to either use the hot water cycle, or to previously dissolve the soap flakes in a small ampunt of hot water before adding it to the washing machine. I plan on continuing to purchase this product.

Flakes do not fully dissolve, even after adding warm water in washing machine before putting in clothes. Then, the flakes become small pellets that are now stuck in side filter of my dryer. So this weekend I will have to dissemble my dryer exhaust hose and vacuum it out. This product is going in the trash
