I get the soap bar for 1.00 at the grocery store, some stores it's 1.18 (that's the most I've paid). You might be able to find it online for less. It works out to about .01 per load for my top load machine. (approx 180 loads per batch at 2.00 each batch) That’s WAY high.

Fels Naptha is preferred because of it's stain fighting abilities. J, did you figure out your cost on this per load? I've only found Fels Naptha for $3.50 a bar. Is that a good price?

Smelled really good while making it. Grating the Fels-Naptha bar is what smelled so good. The other ingredients really don't have a scent. If you didn't like the smell you can add the scented oils. Me, well I'm happy with it the way it is. Denny and I really like the smell. Smelled really good while making it. Grating the Fels-Naptha bar is what smelled so good.

I always only use "name brand" laundry soap & fabric softener because I like the way they make my clothes smell...I'm big on the fresh/clean scent thing... I’m curious…how does it smell?

I think it's using that Fels Naptha soap instead of some of the other standbys. If you haven't ever used it before it's a heavy duty laundry soap with is really good on stains.

I've been tossing this idea for over a year now (sadly, it's taken me that long to run out of my supply!) but often doubted the effectiveness of homemade cleaners.
