I was looking at more thrifty tips on the Duggar's blog (you're right, they're amazing, though I still haven't seen the show). Anyway, she says that you have to use "Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda" and that baking soda won't work. Now to track some down...Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798534849942977858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209509967092611546.post-63077705828811486502011-04-05T15:00:50.810-07:002011-04-05T15:00:50.810-07:00It really depends on the soap!

I think the Felsnaptha that the Duggar lady uses is the best to get. But although it is watery just add a little more than you normally would. Mine still cleans wonderfully! Hope that answers your question!<br />And thanks for the kind words about our blog! We always hope we are helping somebody!:)Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452806654794641910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209509967092611546.post-1664250069735442792011-04-05T13:59:40.118-07:002011-04-05T13:59:40.118-07:00First, I have to say, I love, love, LOVE your blog...First, I have to say, I love, love, LOVE your blog! As a design and craft-impaired individual (homemaking is TERRIFYING) I really appreciate how easy some of your crafts are! <br /><br /> As a super-cheap, poor-college-student-and-mom individual, I really love and appreciate your thrifty tips. I made the laundry detergent yesterday using 6 ounces of dial tropical 'something or the other' soap and it smells lovely, but seems REALLY thin. Is it going to thicken more over time? Just wondering. I'm definitely going to use it (it smells lovely :D), but I wanted to make sure the proportions on the blog were right. Now I can't wait to run out of my old soap!Adriennenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209509967092611546.post-8662683317581225232010-03-18T13:53:48.091-07:002010-03-18T13:53:48.091-07:00I recently made this soap also, using the Duggar&#...I recently made this soap also, using the Duggar's recipe. The soap works great! I used the Fels-Naptha bar soap, and I add a drop of either Lavender or Tea Tree essential oil to each load of laundry for a fresh scent. The Tea Tree oils are great for getting bacteria out of smelly dishrags too!Michelle Lubbersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209509967092611546.post-42771205341975129882010-01-26T08:32:46.914-08:002010-01-26T08:32:46.914-08:00I just found your blog yesterday and I love it!!! ...I just found your blog yesterday and I love it!!! All of the thrifty finds are just up my alley! I'm reading some of your old posts and I just found this one about the liquid wash powder. I have a large family and this just seems too good to be true!!! How does it clean? I use gain usually because I enjoy the fresh smell but I also like for my clothes to be really clean. So what do you think? As good as the name brand?Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851535636397953162noreply@blogger.com
