What do you use in the laundry for soap?

[shais_mom]

I did the math. And I suck at Math.

But in the homemade laundry soap it equals out to roughly a .01 a load.

I saw an ad for Gain/Cheer in the paper 20-32 loads jugs 2 for $9. That equals out about .07 per load.

From this particular Site. They have 64 oz (640 loads) of soap nuts for $58 which equals about .10 a load.

4 jugs of the ultra tide - equals 208 loads for $72 is about $.28 a load.
Anyone that wants to check my math - I'd appreciate it!

I use Charlie's Soap. I've been using it for about a year and a half (since right after Nathan was born) and I've been really happy with it.

I've been using the liquid All free clear for many years and I love it.

I use Tide Free - no perfumes or dyes to aggravate my allergies.

Ditto.


What about those soap nut things and allergies? I've tried using some "hypo allergenic" or "all natural" laundry detergents, and I still itched like crazy!

I usually use what's on sale but have recently delved into making my own. You can make your own liquid or powder. I'm looking into making powder soap when I'm done with the jug I'm using now.

You gonna share your secret recipe??

I've been using the liquid All free clear for many years and I love it.

Ditto here. Publix (grocery store chain) has a store brand that is very similar and less expensive, but we don't shop there regularly.

I use Cheer, and Shout for pre-treating stains.

Posted this laundry tip a while back.

I cracked open a can of smoked clams in oil and spilled some on a poly blend shirt I had on.

I got two nice stains outta the deal and went home and tried everything to get them out. I even tried Dawn dishwashing liquid on it to pretreat the stain.

Nothing worked until I picked up two cans of the lanolin hand wash stuff at an autoparts store. I can't remember if it said it could be used on soiled clothing-but I rubbed some on these two stains, tossed it into the wash and pulled it out and both stains were gone.

Now I keep a can by the laundry soap and don't freak out when I spill on clothing that is a blend of materials.
