I did the 16 oz of water, 1 bar of shaved soap (I used Ivory), 1 c baking soda and 1.5 c of Borax. I don't necessarily notice a smell but I am noticing that things are sooooooo much softer!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314372004675069648.post-23023928479082418872008-06-16T16:52:00.000-05:002008-06-16T16:52:00.000-05:00I make mine, and I add a few drops of essential oi...I make mine, and I add a few drops of essential oil to it occasionally.

I make my own laundry detergent and have for about 18 months. I don't add essential oils because they are sooo expensive. I think the laundry just ends up smelling clean and I like it. It smells even better if you hang it to dry outside. I suppose if I did add scent, I might add a couple of drops to a cloth in the dryer and see how that would work. HTH<BR/><BR/>As for natural cleaners, I use a combination of half hydrogen peroxide and half water in a spray bottle for most things. I do add essential oil to this. A lot of people use vinegar but I don't like the smell. It works though. I use baking soda a lot too. Half and half with borax makes a great scrub for your sink.debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281155569729797972noreply@blogger.com
