Homemade Laundry Detergent Not Getting Clothes Clean

RE: Homemade Laundry Detergent Not Getting Clothes Clean By karibari (2) Contact I've made the same detergent, but being liquid. My recipe called for me to use 1 cup in laundry instead of tablespoons. may try to use a little more product. Good luck. Oh also I used Dove soap, can have a tendency to have skin irritated with other soaps. Have used dove bar soap all my life so I figured that would be best for my laundry too.

So trying this may help. Posted on 06/25/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Laundry Detergent Not Getting Clothes Clean By MCW (1009) Profile Blog! Contact Good idea susanmajp, I never thought of shutting off the machine and just letting the clothes soak in the detergent for a while. I'm still using up my liquid laundry detergent that I purchased and will be making my own powdered laundry detergent in the very near future!

A while later, I turn on again and run through the full cycle. Everything comes out nice and clean.

Contact When you make a batch of the powdered laundry detergent add 1/2 cup Oxi Clean. You might have to use 4 tablespoons instead of 2 tablespoons. Also if you are using warm water, switch to hot water. The problem might be that you're not using Oxi Clean and hot water for your laundry. Posted on 06/25/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Laundry Detergent Not Getting Clothes Clean By harrison2009 (9) Contact I have made my own laundry soap for almost a year. I make a liquid soap rather than the powder. My first batch I used a Zote bar and my clothes were clean and smelled nice. Then I switched to Fels-Naptha soap to make it and no matter what amount of soap I used my clothes were never clean and my husband complained that they smelled after working in them only a few hours. So I switched to Ivory soap and wasn't happy with it either. I then went back to using a Zote bar to make my detergent and my clothes look great and smell great. The only place I was able to find the Zote bars was at a local Latino foods grocery store. You can also adjust the amount of borax used according to how hard your water is. For my husband's stinky work clothes I also add 1/4 cup of Simple Green. It gets the greasy smell out of them! I hope this helps! Posted on 06/25/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
