I think they have a site don't they?
My friend was a rep for the company or something..she would do a "party" which was more of a meeting, but you just signed up for a membership or something....gee, I should have paid more attention.

My all-time favorite laundry smell was when my now toddlers were babies and we used Dreft! Just thinking of it now brings back sweet memories....love that scent!!!

I make my own laundry soap...it costs about a penny a load to do my laundry. My clothes smell clean and only clean. It is the best!!!

This is the recipe...it is really simple...and makes a lot of a gel type liquid. I've used it for about a year now and make it for family members. I don't have as much lint in the dryer and it gets out almost everything...including grease spots that have gone through the dryer. I just pretreat the area with the soap and wash with the next load....works great!!! You can add scent if you like. If you have any questions...feel free to post or pm me. I also make my own bar soap for showering...my last batch was lavender & peppermint...heavenly!!!!!

I did buy some Gain Joyful Expressions... Mango and Apple, it wasnt bad.

Right now all the smells are killing me so its not any fun doing laundry when you are all stuffed up

I am also a FREAK bc all my scents have to match -- EXACTLY and nothing gets on my nerves more than to go to WalMart and they have the fabric softner but not the dryer sheets!?!?!!? Whats up with that?!?!!?!?!?!?!

PS.... can you tell I am doing laundry?

I use Seventh Generation and it doesn't have a scent. We use Bounce dryer sheets. I love Bounce.

By the way, I have the same scent matching deal when it comes to body wash/bubble bath and lotions. If I take a bath with lavendar bubble bath, I HAVE to use lavendar lotion.

I used that too when I was washing my neighbors clothes - tryin to get the smoke smell out. It did a good job but my problem is... no matching fabric softner or dryer sheets

I am addicted to fabric softener. I using Purex Concentrated Lavender Fresh detergent, and was using the Downy Simple Pleasures Lavender Vanilla sent for years. Then I decided to get the Downy Simple Pleasures Water Lily and Jasmine and I am ADDICTED. I used to use the Simple Pleasures detergent too but I tried the Lavendar sent in the Purex and I loved it. I am like you I use a whole cup of softener in every load no matter how much the stuff costs. My clothes HAVE to smell good and I am addicted to the smell....
