I'm curious if those of you who use these various recipes have 'hard' water? With all the phosphates taken out of detergents; soaps; shampoos; etc., our clothes are no longer getting clean. We were away recently to an area where the water is 'softer' and the clothes came out much cleaner. Granted, a different brand of detergent but I don't really think that is the issue. I think in our case it's the mineral content of the water. Looking into a water softener system of some type at this point.

I tried this a couple years ago but by the end of the batch all my clothes felt like the had a buildup on them, didn't really feel clean.

I've been using the food processor method for about 3 years now. Can make a 3 months supply in about 20 minutes. Make my own fabric softener ,too- due to skin allergies .Rash cleared up after I started making my own.

How much do the ingredients cost to make the soap and how much mixture does it make to get the final cost of $1.25 per 10 gallons.....
