What do you use in the laundry for soap?

[jennielynn1970]

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??

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.
