Until this thread started I was not aware that You Tube has a world of hints, recipes and ideas on how to save money by making your own products. I have made my own laundry soap for a couple of years, but I think I will try my dishwashing liquid and my dishwasher soap, fabric softner and substitue for Fabreeze room spray - maybe even my own soap, although I have a large supply still from my last purchase at Sam's. I have seen a nice savings in the cost of products used to clean the car. We had products to blacken the tires, polish the chrome, wash and polish the car, take the bugs and road grime off, etc. plus the products for the leather inside the car. Now mostly due to a bad back I take the car to a car wash every other month for $8 and use the fabric softner sheets to clean the bugs off the front of the grill. That works better than any product we ever bought! Great savings there.
