This is your ping to the All Things Prepping, Simple Living, Back to the Basics [a place to come sit on the porch and chat, an on going thread]

This week's topic is Homemade Laundry Detergent at Post 962

If you want off/on this list, just let me know.

Has anyone used Nellie’s Laundry Soda? (Canadian, but you can get it in the US) It looks very economical if you don’t want to make your own.

I’ve read that modern machines are now designed to use less laundry detergent, so maybe we’re reaching the point of gain in this area? (My washer is easily 20 years old right now.)

I do SO MUCH LESS laundry than I used to - NO TEENAGERS in the house and Beau is no longer paving roads or ‘tarring’ anything and we’re both home now and retired, so just have a few ‘fancy outfits’ that we need for Weddings and Funerals. Everyday clothes DO get dirty on a farm, but so far, just general washing keeps us clean enough. ;)
