If I would...Sorry it's not working out for you! If I would have known (and thought of it) I would have send a little plastic tub of my Norwex stuff for you to try. I know I'm not sensitive like you guys are, but the powder doesn't smell a bit and I don't notice any fragrance at all on the laundry either. I could have easily sent a sample of it home with Roger and Margaret for you to try. Don't toss your batch though . . . after all that work! That would be sad. If you save it (sealed up so you don't get a headache) I'd use it on my laundry. But who knows when we'll be up your way next! Sorry it didn't work out like you wanted. Hopefully you'll find the right solution soon.shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633218749632398501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604653759255591384.post-89086467182798564952009-12-08T07:38:59.656-06:002009-12-08T07:38:59.656-06:00I haven't used fabric softer in quite some tim...I haven't used fabric softer in quite some time, it's pretty yucky stuff I think. In the summer I use my clothesline to try (just about) all our laundry, and have -- for quite a while -- used vinegar in the wash. When I have to use the dryer I use dryer balls. We still have a little static, but less than we would otherwise and I can put up with a little of it to avoid fabric softener. <br />I've seen recipes for homemade laundry soap, but have never tried one. We use the Norwex laundry soap. You literally only use 1/2 tsp in each load and it gets stuff clean. Amazing. The fact that you use so little makes it super cheap. I think my $23 bag will literally last me years (and I do LOTS of laundry!). Good for you for making your own. It's great to find something new and cheap that works for you extra-sensitive bunch!shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633218749632398501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604653759255591384.post-58656046279958024852009-12-08T04:58:28.160-06:002009-12-08T04:58:28.160-06:00Yes, it's very hard to grate that stuff! I ha...Yes, it's very hard to grate that stuff! I hate the smell of it simmering but don't notice it at all in the laundry. I also notice what you do with the vinegar so went back to softeners since our house is so "staticy" anyway! :)All in a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671548723050723749noreply@blogger.com
