I wonder if I could buy one bottle of that and substitute a portion of it for the half bar of soap so that I can still have the scent I like. Is there a reason (chemical makeup of components) that you use bar soap? I wonder if that would change anything.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11870684940029058360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899382663184765068.post-85335509109885031732009-06-15T03:18:16.249-06:002009-06-15T03:18:16.249-06:00Emilie- You're right.

I'm a liquid detergent girl all the way. <br /><br />I've looked at a couple of websites about the homemade laundry soap and I think every single one has a slight variation on the amounts to use, both for the liquid and the powder. The ingredients are always consistent in the main three: soda, bar soap, and borax, but kayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081226749467971389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899382663184765068.post-91882427482332108892009-04-29T08:28:00.000-06:002009-04-29T08:28:00.000-06:00Just to clarify, in the liquid recipe you said to ...Just to clarify, in the liquid recipe you said to use 1 cup each of soda and borax and a half bar (1:1:.5) of soap but in the dry recipe it was 1/2 cup of each of the soda and borax and a half bar of soap (1:1:1). Can you let me know which it is? I made some up about a week and a half ago using the 1:1:.5 ratio but I want to make sure it's accurate and I don't need to add more soap. <br /><br />KittenCunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879019524307845715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899382663184765068.post-68504355428571817412009-04-24T15:25:00.000-06:002009-04-24T15:25:00.000-06:00I am going to try this out...but another thing...B...I am going to try this out...but another thing...Big H ordered me "soapnuts" I am going to try it out and will let ya know.<br /><br />UnderthebootAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899382663184765068.post-45937623930184716152009-04-15T14:18:00.000-06:002009-04-15T14:18:00.000-06:00I think a gallon jug of white vinegar is, shoot, t...I think a gallon jug of white vinegar is, shoot, two dollars?

It's pretty inexpensive.<br /><br />It does help with static cling, though probably not as well as your dryer sheets or softener.<br /><br />I would say to use the essential oils for your scent, but I expect the vinegar would rinse the scent away.

Also, you can adjust the ingredients as necessary. <br /><br />Try using the Ivory soap (though, as I said in the post, it was the Ivory that made my son break out, but Ivory is supposed to be for sensitive skin) or the Fels Naptha.
