CB, it’s so funny that you sent this because I was organizing our laundry area this morning and happened to find a container with my homemade detergent! Mine had Fels Naphtha (or Zote, whichever I could find, Borax and the washing powder. I found it worked well and did dissolve, plus I would add some drops of essential oils to the rinse cycle.
I stopped because I was having some skin problems and started using only Free & clear of whatever brand is on sale. I used to use a designated cheese grater for the soap. If I wasn’t so afraid of an allergic flareup, I’d make it again.
“. I used to use a designated cheese grater for the soap.”
That’s a great idea, I’ll get that a try next time I make some. The whole microwave/paper plates/ crumble the soap is a pain. Takes a long time, and then the microwave smells funny
Excellent info! Here at my sons no washer and dryer so it’s drag if all to laundromat. But the laundromat is considerably better than dragging all down to the creek and beating clothing on rocks
In past I was a sales associate with Norwex. Lots of good things but pricy. The products for clothes n dishes never really did well IMO. Appearance, odor. Claims of healthier overshadowed by poor results.
