| Make your own laundry soap?!! I was watching The Duggar's (the couple that has 18 children) and she said she makes her own laundry soap for about $2 and it does 180 loads!.. Feeling ambitious?..... The Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Family She has some recipes too that she feeds her little army... This site also makes the soap..... Soaps Gone Buy - Where Soaps of yesterday are found Today! I can't seem to find the exact ingredients for Fels Naptha soap..... ...... It said it kills fleas, hhmmmm ........

| I didn't know what it was either but I read that Arm & Hammer makes it..... "Washing soda is a highly alkaline chemical compound which can be used to remove stubborn stains from laundry. It also has numerous uses around the house. Washing soda should not be confused with washing powder, which is a powdered soap used as a detergent; it is also not the same thing as baking soda, although the two compounds are closely related. The chemical formula for washing soda is Na2CO3, and it is also known as sodium carbonate. It is a salt of carbonic acid, a chemical which produces a wide range of salts collectively known as carbonates. One common source of washing soda is the ashes of plants; for this reason, it is sometimes called soda ash. Sodium carbonate can also be extracted from sodium chloride, also known as table salt. In laundry, washing soda accomplishes several things. The high alkalinity of washing soda helps it act as a solvent to remove a range of stains, and unlike bleach, washing soda does not usually stain. It is also used in detergent mixtures to treat hard water; the washing soda binds to the minerals which make water hard, allowing detergent to foam properly so that clothing will come out clean, without any residue." I found these recipes using washing soda on a "green" site...... Spray For Tough Grease - 1/2 tsp. washing soda ( sodium carbonate, soda ash or sal soda) 2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar, 1/2 tsp. liquid soap ( veg. oil based), 2c. hot water. (You can add a few drops of essential oil too.) Put all this in a spray bottle. Floor Disinfectant - Add 1/2c. borax into a bucket of hot water, dissolve the borax. To cut grease on the floor - add 1/2c. washing soda ( soduim carbonate or sal soda) with 1 tbsp. liquid soap, 1/4 c. white vinegar and 1/2 bucket hot water- use gloves. Don't use on waxed floors.

| I love stuff like this! I like to pretend I'm all handy and stuff. Mayhaps I'll get brave and see if I can find the stuff to make it in the German store. My poor husband just sort of deals with my experiments and occasionally hides his dinner plate when I feed him questionable food. I must say tha soap nuts sounds alittle funny though. but then again I am easily amused |
