I'm definitely going to give it a try!<br />(It makes a big batch, so you might want to scale it back a bit until you're convinced).<br /><br />Another recipe for home made, DIY, cheaper, better Laundry Soap:<br /><br />Simple Washing Powder <br /><br />16 cups baking soda <br />12 cups borax <br />8 cups grated castile or glycerin soap flakesAmy Considinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436199214975707102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412454229353938041.post-90636805917107926032010-03-07T12:32:02.806-05:002010-03-07T12:32:02.806-05:00Instead of bar soap, I have tried pure liquid cast...Instead of bar soap, I have tried pure liquid castile soap from a health food store. It seems to work well. Hard to keep the whites white though. My husbands tshirts were turning grey. I ended up using an all natural bleach called eco. It only contains deionized water and hydrogen peroxide. Apparently hydrogen peroxide is a great whitener and more friendly on the environment than bleach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412454229353938041.post-76835946284955971772010-02-25T13:11:33.908-05:002010-02-25T13:11:33.908-05:00Ok, so I don't know my grocery stores inside a...Ok, so I don't know my grocery stores inside and out... would "washing soda" and "borax powder" be in the cleaning products isle? (Ivory soap, I know.) Do you have suggested brands too or will the cheapest thing do as well as any other?TSotD (The Song of the Day)http://tsotd.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412454229353938041.post-52371178004515744162010-01-10T16:06:20.676-05:002010-01-10T16:06:20.676-05:00Great suggestion.
