I came across this article at www.food.com and have tried several of the remedies.  They really are amazing!  Our white grout seemed permanently orange and I tried the dawn detergent and vinegar solution and it is now white again!  My clogged drain is draining well thanks to the vinegar and baking soda solution.  Can't wait to try the many others in this article!  http://www.food.com/slideshow/20-must-see-diy-household-and-beauty-tips-73

Homemade Laundry Detergent

Grate a bar of soap.  I used Ivory but plan on trying Mrs. Meyers Basil scent soon.


Add 1 cup of borax and 1 cup of washing soda.  I found the washing soda in the cleaner section at my grocery store.  You may have to shop around to find it.



 Mix well for 1-2 minutes to get it well combined.


Store it in an air tight container.  Use 1-2 tablespoons per load.
You may not need dryer sheets.  I find that I don't.  Test a load to see.
