Quote HistoryQuoted: I have heard of a lot of people that "make" their own for cheap... With great results Ingredients
DirectionsThoroughly stir together for 5 minutes and enjoy the results! You can take this a step further and blend the mixture in a blender or food processor to create a powder that will dissolve easily even in cold water. (Just be sure to let the dust settle before removing the lid of your blender or food processor so you don’t inhale the fine particles.) Store in a sealed container with a small scoop. To UseUse 1 Tbsp per load (or 2-3 Tbsp for large or heavily soiled loads). |

They harden up so they don't just mush into the holes I buy them in packs so they'll sit for months and grate up in seconds. I can do a bar of Fels Naphtha in less than a minute. |

When I was married, my wife insisted on getting Tide or Era, saying that the cheap stuff, while tempting, was in actuality a ripoff because you have to use twice the amount of product to get the same degree of effectiveness as the big name brands. I never squawked about it, but since I've been single, I've been buying the cheap stuff and using the same amount as before, and I haven't noticed any difference. Maybe my clothes aren't as clean and I simply can't tell because I'm a disgusting slob? What do you folks thing about the cheapass stuff? http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/09/45/14/41/0009451441821_500X500.jpg Make your own. It ends up costing pennies a load, and works very well. I do agree though that the cheap brands make you use more. The home made stuff is the only cheap one I actually could recommend. |
