I made an earlier recipe usinf Fels Naptha soap and washing soda and borax. I boiled the recipe as suggested and then added water to the basic brew. I love it; it has no odor and cleans the clothes very well. It makes 2 gallons and using a 1/2 cup at a time, it lasts for a very long time. Thank whoever sent out the original recipe. I would think lots of us would use it since it is so much cheaper. Note: If I hadn' found the earlier one, I would surely be using your recipe.
