The difference isn't huge, though, and I already use Fels Naptha as a stain stick to pretreat stains if I know that I've got them, so perhaps that helps, too. The biggest difference, I think, is that I think that I'm seeing more grease stains that don't get washed out, but they wash out a second time with pretreatment. I tend to keep both Fels Naptha and homemade soap on hand, so I'll probably just throw whatever I have more of into my laundry soap recipe from now on.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-33842941258113679332011-06-16T00:08:46.821-04:002011-06-16T00:08:46.821-04:00One of these days I'm going to give that a try...One of these days I'm going to give that a try.

I use it for a spray cleaner, too, and a laundry rinse, and a dishwasher rinse...I wonder if one can purchase stock in vinegar?<br /><br />I think borax is pretty mild, but you could also try a few loads of laundry without, I suppose. Soap and detergent don't rinse out well, as a rule, unfortunately, although they do better in an he machine--it's why you have to occasionally strip cloth diapers when you use them.<br /><br />I did the math when I used Fels Naptha, and it was below 3 cents a load with it. Fels Naptha is pretty cheap, so I'm probably only saving a penny a load, if that much, with my homemade, and I actually do plan to switch back to using Fels if I can remember to have some on hand the next time I need to make laundry soap. Since it's a laundry soap bar, my theory is that it will clean better than my skin soap bar, but I'll have to use this batch for a while before I can be certain.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-29712511708306142352011-06-11T07:15:11.268-04:002011-06-11T07:15:11.268-04:00I love making my own laundry soap (and need to mak...I love making my own laundry soap (and need to make some soon).

Just one thing, I know Borax is pretty toxic when taken internally and can be a skin irritant, so was wondering how safe it is to use (I'm guessing it all gets rinsed away?). I have kids with sensitive skin so usually have to use washballs or next-to-useless sensitive skin wash powder. It would be good to try an alternative. Does anyone know where I can get white vinegar in large quantities in the UK?Big mamma froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006397435397636499noreply@blogger.com
