I keep the liquid soap recipe up for those not worried about the borax. <br /><br />For now I use just baking soda and grated soap. Its the easiest recipe and I make it up myself. I like to keep things simple lol. As for stains well like any stain I need to soak it and try to scrub it out. I have yet to use a laundry soap that gets all stains out. If it did I would be worried about what toxic ingredients are in it lol. For colored clothes I get the garment wet on the stain area and then take a bar of soap and rub the crud out of it. 99% of the time it gets the stain out. For whites I use a new product called Pure Oxygen Whitener. I soak it for a while and that usually works. Here is the link. You can find some amazing products there for rock bottom prices too. <br />http://www.ecostoreusa.com/pure-oxygen-whitener/Surviving and thriving on pennieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549443211123230264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-14975269134503975332013-09-15T19:03:43.518-07:002013-09-15T19:03:43.518-07:00I seen a housewarming gift photo you had on Facebo...I seen a housewarming gift photo you had on Facebook where you were giving this to your friend. I had to check you blog to see if the recipe was here. Found it! I was using the recipe with washing soda and borax but heard borax was really harsh. I want to know how this works on stains? My girls play hard... dirt and grass stains... and sometimes chocolate milk. Does this work on stains? Need a good stain remover soap with a baby on the way.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668068685080484553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-74661756992999301362013-06-25T07:36:50.640-07:002013-06-25T07:36:50.640-07:00Deniseathome-Hydrogen Peroxide works just as well ...Deniseathome-Hydrogen Peroxide works just as well as bleach. For newer washers you should be okay using both. Old ones probably not because there are no compartments that take soap/vinegar at certain times. <br /><br />Lilacsandsnowflakes-You use baking soda alone and just add enough grated soap to your liking. The soap helps but is pretty much just for scent. I used about 1/2 a bar of soap per 4lbs of baking soda. If you don't want any scent just leave the bar of soap out Surviving and thriving on pennieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549443211123230264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156719194860099075.post-83877692082495172642013-06-13T10:25:12.717-07:002013-06-13T10:25:12.717-07:00HEllo.

I have one question: I don't see where you mention how much baking soda to add per bar of soap.

This gets out food stains. I already use vinegar as a fabric and water softener, our water here is very hard. Will the vinegar fight with the baking soda. Sorry for all the questions.
