Also, quick update:

The last batch I made, I did entirely in the food processor; using the grating disc to tackle the bar of soap. That saved a lot of time, and prevented a lot of soap flakes from flying up my nose. Definitely the way to go, from now on.

Off to start Batch #3 :)

Hi Courtney!

Glad to hear you gave this stuff a shot :)

As for stains, I'll sometimes add a tablespoon of some kind of oxygen bleach powder (Oxi-Clean, Oxo-Brite, or our latest brand, GrabGreen). That seems to do the trick.

No problem with using an older machine. Just add the vinegar at the beginning of the last rinse cycle, just as you would with a regular fabric softner.

Happy Washing :)

Thanks for this!! I made this two weeks ago and so far so good!!

What do you use on stains? Do you have a homemade DIY recipe? I haven't washed anything with big stains yet.

I have an older washing machine where I pour the detergent directly over the water once I start it. Do I add the vinegar in the beginning or later in the cycle?

Any help would be great, thanks!

I may have to try this too! Thanks Faye!
