“I add a second rinse, and my softener and my dryer sheet are fragrance free. My kids have sensitive skin.”
SaraP1989 uses all Free and Clear for everything but her darks, and JeremysMom uses all Free and Clear on “all of our clothes except for my husband’s uniform.”
“Smells wonderful” they say.
CafeMom ambr2006 is also a Gain fan. “Gain is the one I try to buy, but if my wallet is bare, I will buy whatever is cheapest. I notice my clothes only come clean with Gain.”
Homemade Laundry Detergent1 bar Fels-Naptha Soap, grated5 gallon bucket1 cup washing soda1 cup borax
Melt the grated soap in about four cups water, pour into five-gallon bucket. Add washing soda and borax; top off with hot water. Stir well. Place lid on bucket and let it sit over night. You will end up with a thick, yellow gloppy gel. Mix it up and use 1 cup per large load. Some people will add lavender or some essential oil for smell while making it.
Add 1/4 cup vinegar instead of fabric softener, and you are good to go!
“I love the stuff — works great at keeping my clothes clean (actually Consumer Reports rated one of the best detergents).”
“Right now, it’s Ultra Purex Coldwater…it works great and saves money on energy.”
“For stains/grease spots/anything that doesn’t wash out the first time, I use Mox to ‘pretreat.’ These products work better than anything else I’ve ever used, without any of the harsh chemicals and nasty fillers that are in everything else (including the so-called ‘free & clear’ detergents).”
“It smells good and is cheap, and I like cheap.”
