It keeps its smell better, the clothes seem to get a little cleaner ( not that they didnt get clean before) its not any work at all, and its not as messy! I actully used the measurment for the liquid kind so I did 1 1/2 cups of each and I didnt put in any oxi clean. As soon as I get rid of all my liquid I am going all powder!!!Laura Jexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917145133193152921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346679875606309533.post-5873666396240707172009-05-07T23:54:00.000-06:002009-05-07T23:54:00.000-06:00seriously Erin good find, give us all the details....seriously Erin good find, give us all the details. we could all just be so green, and good little housewives that make our own products!!!Corihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006808965901931908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346679875606309533.post-38847671704422253462009-05-07T22:39:00.000-06:002009-05-07T22:39:00.000-06:00I am excited to try this.

It says to put 1 TBS. Borax and 1 TBS. Washing soda, and you can put vinegar in the rinsing agent spot instead of jet dry or whatever. Some people also said you could fill you dishwasher half with regular stuff and then a quarter with borax and a quarter with washing soda. Just thought you might want to know and try it out. I bought some super cheap detergent and is leaving my dishes with crazy hard water spots, so I'm going to go and put vinegar in my dishwasher right now.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290540294131778131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346679875606309533.post-48731683690314042102009-05-07T15:45:00.000-06:002009-05-07T15:45:00.000-06:00Thanks Cori!

It smells just fine with out it. If you splurge on really smelly dryer sheets you wont notice a difference. I have never used the concentrate one I will after this batch, but i would have to imagine that since the ingredients are specifically for washing clothes that they will dissolve just fine. But that is just a guess. Give me a few weeks and I will let you know :) As for the essential oils i found my in the organic health food section of out grocery store. I read somewhere that you add 15-20 drops per gallon but you can do how ever much you want to get the smell you like!!Corihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006808965901931908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346679875606309533.post-39770709290517134142009-05-07T15:30:00.000-06:002009-05-07T15:30:00.000-06:00I've been waiting for this recipe.

Also with the concentrated one, do you think everything would dissolve in a batch with cold water?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290540294131778131noreply@blogger.com
