I made this the other day and will say I am pleased with the results. Everything seems to be fresh and soft, mind you I also use my homemade laundry detergent and that also makes the clothes soft as well. I have posted three recipes on my blog, I used this one from
http://www.recipezaar.com/179890
Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
6 cups distilled white vinegar
8 cups water
10-15 drops orange essential oils (optional) or lemon essential oils (optional) or essential oils, of choice (optional)
Directions
1You will need a one gallon container.
2First add the baking soda to the plastic container.
3Next add 1 cup of water to start with.
4Slowly add the vinegar to the bottle as the vinegar and baking soda will start to fizz.
5Then add the rest of the water swirling around & cover venting the top a few times.
6Last add the essential oil.
7Add 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load but give the bottle a good shake to stir up the essential oil if using.
I will say it cost approximately $1.50 to make (I am guessing) and there were at least 14 cups of liquid and if you use a 1/4 cup of liquid per load you have at least 56 loads per batch. Which works out at just over 2.5 cents per load. I have a front loader machine and had to use a Downy Ball to put it in. I know the recipe say use 1 cup but with using the Downy Ball I use only around 1/4 cup.
I had wanted to make the third recipe as that also looks a good one, but made the first one for some reason? I also did not use the essential oils. Here is a link to my blog to check out the other two recipes:
