Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for making homemade dry laundry soap, I have been making my own for close to 10 years. I became tired of feeling like my clothes were never truly clean, especially our gym clothes and even more tired of all the over powering scents. I know the chemicals used to create these smells are not healthy and covering my entire body in clothes covered in them seemed like a bad choice. Washing soda is the one ingredient that's tough for me to find in the stores. I used Arm & Hammer washing soda for years but since our move to Western Washington I have been unable to find it at local grocery stores. I have been using this for a couple months now and my clothes are just as clean as before making the switch to this brand. It comes in a one gallon bucket that's a bit of a pain to open the first time but a wonderful alternative to the cardboard boxes this generally comes in when buying a&h. I am excited to be able to reuse it to store my finished soap in once empty as the container I currently use isn't as nice. They also make a borax that once I run out of my current supply I intend to try. Also for the amount, one gallon, the price is a great value, I have no complaints and would recommend this to anyone. For anyone curious here is the ingredients for homemade laundry soap: 1 Dr. Bonners bar of soap (shredded) 1-2 cups of borax 1-2 cups of washing soda 1/2-1 cup of baking soda I started off at the small end of ingredients and added more until I found a ratio that works for me. I use distilled white vinegar as a fabric softer. I use 1/4 of a cup of soap for a regular sized load and about 1 cup of vinegar. My clothes are soft, smell fresh, and never like vinegar. I will never go back to conventional laundry detergents, for me this is the best way to keep my clothes clean.
