Tried today put one and half T in top loader. No suds, but we have VERY hard water.
Not sure if I need to add more?
Does everyone use vinegar with this? If so how much please? Is white distilled vinegar ok?
Sorry lots of Q's!!!!
Edited 22 July. Now using 2 T (uk) per load.
Washing well, using miracle spray as stain remover.
Still wondering about vinegar?

I just fill the container with home brand white vinegar where the fabric softener goes DJ. Have been using it for donkey's years, ever since an Enjo lady told us about it and my washing machine is 18 years old and I have never had to call a serviceman out to it. I have broken off the water level dial so every load is a large one but that is my only problem. I will replace it with a front loader when the time comes due to the water saving feature.

Yes, guess I could CP but 99% of my washing is done on a full load and deep down I think I really do want a new one

Hi! I have read through the first few pages and the last few pages but haven't read through the middle 8 or 9 pages...so i'm so sorry if this has already been asked (which I'm sure it has!)
I was just wondering if you can make this washing powder in your main TM bowl, or do you need to have a second bowl to do this sort of stuff in? (I only have the one bowl)
Thanks so much! This recipe would save me a fortune!

No just in main bowl but need to rinse it 2 Or 3 times thats all. I only mixed the soap p in it and for the rest put it directly in a container nd mixed well by hand with a glove on..

I finally got around to making this which I've been meaning to do since I don't know when. I used the 1/2 bar of sard (was it fundj that suggested that?). I have to say I'm really, really impressed. No, you don't get a pretty smell like you would with commercial powders (which tends to disappear once it's been on the line anyway!) but you do get AMAZINGLY clean clothes. I have seen stains come out of my little boys t-shirt that I never thought possible. I can honestly say I will never buy commercial powders again now I've used this. Even if it doesn't work out cheaper, the fact that it gets my clothes cleaner means it's a winner for me.

Yvette just keep one of your scoops from your last commercial stuff, and use it as a measure. This powder seems to last longer and is definitely cheaper and better.
