One 3.5 oz Tangie laundry bar dissolves into a gallon of liquid detergent. That covers 128 to 256 loads, with no plastic jug to throw out. Pair it with the stain remover stick for spots that need pre-treating.

From one bar to a full gallon
Drop the bar in water and let it dissolve overnight. No hot water, no stirring. One bar makes a gallon of concentrate, and 1 ounce washes a load. That covers 128 to 264 washes.

Switching From Conventional Detergent: What to Expect From Tangie Laundry!

  • No foam: We add no foaming agents, and suds do not clean clothes.
  • No scent: Clean clothes smell like fabric. If something smells off after drying, that item needs another wash.
  • Less detergent: One tablespoon/block covers a regular load.
  • A fresher washer: Some front-load owners told us the gasket smell from old detergent went away after they switched.

How to Dissolve the Bar

The laundry detergent bar MUST be dissolved in water first! But no real effort is required. Just drop the bar into water and let it dissolve overnight.

Use regular tap water. No hot water, no stirring or mixing required.

Each detergent bar dissolves to make ONE GALLON of liquid laundry soap, giving you 128+ loads of laundry, depending on your laundry load size and stink. That is less than $0.20 per load!

If you can handle dissolving sugar in water, you can make this refillable laundry liquid. Tangie Laundry is a concentrated paste-to-liquid formulation you dissolve at home by placing the bar (or a piece of the bar) into a container of your choice and fill that container with water. That’s all it takes.

You can look at our ingredients page for more information on what goes inside our products!

Laundry Bar: Best Practices For Efficient Cleaning

Customize The Amount of Refillable Laundry Detergent You Make –

You do NOT need to dissolve the entire bar of Tangie Laundry Concentrate all at one time. The entire laundry bar dissolves to make one gallon of liquid laundry soap. That might be too much to lift or even fit in the container you are starting with.

Simply cut the laundry bar into 4 equal parts, and each piece can be dissolved into 32 ounces of water.

Tip: 1 Liter (32 ounces) of liquid laundry detergent is a much easier amount to lift and pour!

Store the unused pieces in a container to keep them dry. Shelf life for the undissolved pieces is > 2 years. After you have dissolved the laundry concentrate, we recommend that you use the liquid laundry soap within 6 months.

Container Choice:

Any container will do! Don’t overthink it. You choose the best laundry detergent dispenser that works for you.

The best is to reuse your old laundry jug once it is empty. Plastic laundry jugs are strong and usually have a handle with a build in measuring cap.

Want a prettier container or don’t have an empty laundry jug?

You can use a mason jar, juice bottle, water jug…honestly, any container that fits easily in your hand for you to dispense the zero-waste liquid laundry detergent. You only need 1-2 ounces (or less!) of liquid per load, so choose a container that is easy to pour a small amount from.
