Rosalia Hibler: Why are you doing it in the first place??????? Why not just use a detergent that has the cleaning properties you are looking for? There are plenty available which would be cheaper, easier and will clean well. Good Luck with your wash no matter what you end up using!
Micah Schwarcz: That's because you have to let the washer fill up with water put in the detergent and then put in the laundry. don't just throw the detergent in there spread it around so it doesn't clump up.
Wilburn Denice: I've never heard of it, but am curious to know what makes it so different from regular laundry detergent?
Shena Etulain: I do not use homemade powder. You do need to let it dissolve in some warm/hot water first, if using cold water. You could actually do this in a quart jar (like a mason jar) and then add it to your washer. I keep a quart mason jar on the shelf near my washer for when I need it. I sometimes use bluing for my whites, too, and I add water ! to the jar and some bluing before adding to the rinse water. I've been using this same jar for years.I do not use this particular recipe that you use as I use a homemade gel from Fels-Naptha, washing soda, and borax. I like it very well. I must sometimes allow this to dissolve before adding to the washer if I am using cold water. It literally costs me .64c per gallon to make and it cleans as well or better than store-bought. I have gotten most of my kids hooked on this much cheaper laundry soap, too. I make most everything from scratch, including most all of my cleaning products, except for dish soap, as I like Palmolive best.You are wise to save money like this. Too bad so many others aren't as wise! Laundry products have sky-rocketed in price and there's no reason to spend so much money when such superior homemade versions can be made with little time, money, and effort....Show more
Kaylee Schmittou: Mix it together with water in an old liquid detergent bottle and l! et it sit. Then you have liquid detergent!
Tyler Burkman! : powdered detergent is not good for any septic or public system. IT hardens and causes problems. It gets like concrete.If you do use it...put the water in first and then let it swish around a minute. You will see nothing dissolves. You should really use liquid....it is much more gentle and better for your clothes.Oh..same for dishwashers...liquid is much better for dishes and the environment. Funny how Bo is for the environment and wants to pass this damn cap and trade bill (which is a bunch of crap)...but allows all this powdered stuff to contaminate everything....Show more
Dominic Sciancalepore: NO
Georgia Dees: Powder or Liquid doesnt really make a difference its the ingredients in them that causes harm to the environment. Most laundry detergents available will contain phosphates and other chemicals that harm the environment. As an alternative you can buy completely organic liquid and powder detergents that are completely organic and made from natural p! roducts - no phosphates & chemicals. Better for your clothes, better for you and better for the environment.
Porfirio Gartland: A homemade liquid laundry detergent : 1 bar of grated Fels Naptha soap, 1 cup of Washing Soda, 1 cup Borax and a 3 or 5 gallon bucket. Put the grated Fels Naptha in a saucepan and cover with water on low until dissolved. Fill bucket with hot water, add soap, stir to combine. Add Washing Soda and Borax and mix well. It will thicken as it cools. Use 1/2 cup for normal dirty loads. This makes a lot and stores great in old empty large detergent pump containers. Using this recipe will cost you about $33.00 a year for laundry detergent. - Yes - a year!...Show more
