    I have a top loader washer with a cupboard above it. I use the heavy big jug of soap on the shelf of the cupboard. I pull it out a bit. open the door of the washer and open the spigot of the laundry soap jug and drip the detergent into the washer. I do not use the cup that comes with the soap because it is too much soap and makes a mess. Now I'm going to do the wool roving to further simplify my clean clothes process. I'm not sure I can get into making my own detergent. I think its too much lifting and pouring for my arthritic bones. Thanks for all the info though!

    Maryellen2u - I make powdered detergent in the food processor and there is no heavy lifting involved. Even with a double batch. I got my wool roving today so when the mood strikes will make the dryer balls
