Make your own HE laundry soap	September 8, 2006
Reviewer: Judith from Greenville,�PA�United States

One of the listed laundry soap mixes (1 bar grated Fels Naphtha soap, 1/2 cup Arm and Hammer washing soda, 1/2 cup borax) is the best product I can find to use in both my new front loading washers. Just one tablespoon for a full load gets everything clean with no perfumey residue. Commercial detergent never completely rinses out of fabric. SOAP DOES! I have discontinued the use of fabric softener. So there are two ways to save. The laundry product I make for my home use is much cheaper and far more effective than anything else I have purchased previously. And I don't have to pay for fabric softener either. It's wonderful to know I will never have to haul commercial detergent or fabric softener home from the big box store ever again. For stubborn stains, especially grass, I rub Fels Naphtha on the wet garment and everything comes out, sometimes before the garment even hits the wash. And my new front loading washers perform well with this homemade product.

Best Laundry detergent for Lowest Cost	September 8, 2006
Reviewer: Alison�Voore from Marietta,�GA�United States

This is the most frugal and effective soap to use to make laundry detergent. I use the recipe with 1 bar, washing soda, and borax and I have been using it for 6 mo. and will NEVER buy the expensive, chemical detergent from the store again! My baby is not sensitive to it either! Try it and be forever changed.

Simply the best	June 12, 2007
Reviewer: Linda Abel from Delaware, OH United States

I no longer need to use fabric softener and my clothes are very clean, soft and fresh smelling. Sometimes I add just a smidge extra washing soda with my kids' dirty socks since they seem to wear them all too often outside with no shoes and they get wet and smelly. I chose this laundry detergent after our septic tanks failed after only 2.5 years of building our house. It cost over $500 and lots of messy clean up to have the damage fixed of having the bacteria killed off in the septic tank. The plumber said the biggest contributer was laundry detergent. Needless to say, I love this stuff!

Laundry Detergent Kit	June 15, 2007
Reviewer: Patricia�Boyd from Ellijay,�GA�United States

This is the best thing I have discovered in a long time. I searched for something after reading about all the chemicals in fabric softener - in one type of softener, a chemical analysis showed 4 different chemicals which had an adverse effect on the lungs. My husband has COPD and this is a godsend. Also love the Kirk's castile soap. GREAT PRODUCTS!

Love This Homemade Washing Product	December 27, 2008
Reviewer: Cindy �Duncan from Attalla,�AL�United States

It takes less product than when I used regular store bought brands. Much more economical and has a very clean smell. I bought a sampler pack and Loved It. I still use fabric softener, only half the amount.
Even gets out the old built up laundry products as It cleans your clothes.
I've used this on everything from my husband's work clothes (he works construction) to my very delicate clothing Items. Love This Product !!!...

GREAT!!	March 8, 2009
Reviewer: AMY�CLINGMAN from NORWALK,�OH�United States

I saw the recipe for this detergent on 18 and counting on TLC. I have used it numerous times now and it is wonderful. My colors are bright and clothes smell fresh. I have used felsnaptha for years in treating poison ivy and it works great for that too!!

AMAZING !	February 14, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Western WA

While it took a long time to arrive, this product kit is truly worth it ! Clean laundry, light smell, not heavily perfumed, but clean, soft, fluffy towels - no need for fabric softener as another poster noted. Worth the money, worth the wait - definitely a life long customer !
