I gave up..

Man, so last night I couldn't sleep and I came down here to my computer thinking... Hey I will blog. So I am typing up this blog, even doing hyperlinks:) and my computer decides it's going to do an update and I am about 2/3 the way done with the post and my puter shuts down!!!!

I sat there in awe as it beeped and flashed pretty colors at me...

So here goes trying to repost what I worked on last nght:

I gave up. I am no longer trying to make my own dishwasher detergent.
After having so much white residue build up on my dishes and glasses, I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to give it up. I tried adding vinegar, but learned that the best way to use vinegar is to add it in the rinse cycle. Well excuse me, but I am not that in tune with my dishwasher to know when it is entering into it's rinse cycle.

So now I am using seventh generation dishwasher detergent and am so much happier:)

I am still using borax and washing soda for laundry detergent and that is working great! I use Fels Naptha soap for stains and it does a great job.

I have found some sites for recipes for making some good smelling and working laundry detergent and I found a big bucket to make some, just got to get off my ass and make some.

Also need to figure out fabric softener... I have heard that vinegar is a good fabric softener, but it doesn't have the best flavor smell. Also I am wondering if there is any natural cure to static cling, cuz once the winter comes I will need something to get rid of it. Although I can manage with it.

Okay now in my post last night there would have been some hyperlinks to the different laundry detergent recipes but I don't have time this morning so will have to skip it.
