Also, after washing awhile with this soap, the clothes did not smell fresh, so I put just a little bit of fabric softener in and that freshens them nicely.
I figured up that 5 gallons of my own laundry soap cost me $1.30/gallon to make. I figured up that my ingredients would make approximately 20 gallons of soap by the time I got to the end of the box. Pretty good eh?

That was the first lesson I learned with my own laundry soap. I have to fill the washer with water, make sure the soap is mixed in well, and THEN put the clothes in. But if I make the liquid version of this soap, it's not as crucial. On the other hand, making the dry version is so much easier, so that's what I do
Do you do the dry or the liquid?
