Yes, i know....I'm Betty Home maker.(like my pic? LOL) I make my own detergent and cleaners. This detergent works great and its cheap cheap cheap. Pennies a load. Its easy to make and all natural so its perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or that's allergic to most laundry soaps. So, take it from me.....a past Tide snob who had to have her Tide, this soap works great and i will never go back to to store bought detergent when I'm being so thrifty with this and it works just as great. :D

Do you find that your white's get dingy with this soap? I've been having this problem but not sure if it's my water here or the soap causing it...I've been using the soap for a year now and I have not reacted to it (have allergies to certain chemicals in most detergents). It's very cost effective and easy to make!
