i tried the fav soap by liz sorry if i am miss spelling. i think i whipped it. i have about 3 inches of a soapy foam on the top of my bucket and the rest is this funky looking water.
I know that from reading other post is will be fine, but what did I do wrong??
i am so looking forward to trying this home made laundry detergent. i will post my results as soon as i get them. i read someone posted that their clothes came out dingy?
is this an issue with the home made detergent?
Can it be used in high efficiency washers?
Yes you can. Because of the low suds.
