Front Load HE washing machines: recipe?


Recommended Posts

I have been using a recipe that I found on the Duggar's Family website for our front loader. We've used it for over a month now...so far so good. Our clothes look pretty clean to me. I also use vinegar in the bleach tray for smelly clothes and as a rinse agent in the rinse cycle. And no...the clothes don't smell like vinegar once they're dry. :001_smile:

 

Here's the link: laundry soap

If you use powder, here's one that I've cobbled together. It seems to work really well - gets out most stains (although I recently discovered it doesn't work on red wine:glare:) and my whites are white not dingy yellow. It's been tested through digging in the garden season, so it really gets out dirt too, LOL.

 

1 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated

1 bar Ivory soap, grated

2 cups borax

2 cups washing soda

1 cup oxygen bleach

1 cup baking soda

10 – 30 drops essential oil, your choice, optional

 

Combine all ingredients in food processor, process until powdered consistency and well blended. Use 2 heaping tbl. per load.

 

I also use white vinegar in my rinse. Just fill the rinse dispenser to the line.
