I think she added lavender the first time. <br /><br />Willow, Rachel bought all the ingredients at Publix...do you have that chain there? Everything together cost about $10 and she says she still has enough for a lot more buckets. <br /><br />Rachel has gotten very thrifty. She quit her job to stay home with the baby, so she is trying to economize to make that possible. Since detergent is so expensive, she saves a nice little amount this way. Add that to her Superwoman couponing skills.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-71825401373893410842009-07-14T10:48:19.811-05:002009-07-14T10:48:19.811-05:00I haven't heard of that soap either.

I also just grind everything up together in the food processor and use it dry - 1 Tablespoon per load...works great!<br /><br />Try a cup of vinegar in your fabric softener dispenser, too - works beautifully - the soap gets all rinsed out and clothes dry on the line nice and soft!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836025853467638590noreply@blogger.com
