In fact, one time my daughter actually grabbed the large scoop from the store-bought detergent and put in WAY too much. The only thing that happened was extra soap residue on that load and it had to be washed again. I would caution against using superfatted soap on your clothes however. I understand it can leave a build-up.Amy Wardenhttp://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311017639895537111.post-41230911107816764152010-07-07T15:05:36.917-04:002010-07-07T15:05:36.917-04:00Re: dishwasher soap - I've tried this too.

The last batch has lavender, rosemary, and peppermint and it makes the house smell so nice as the washer is running. My daughter claims a touch of fragrance remains in the clothes, but I haven't buried my nose in them to tell.<br /><br />Sherri~ is that baking soda....not washing soda? I wanna make sure because I need to make some too.koinonia communityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677292428662688616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311017639895537111.post-83773926212423933902010-07-03T16:46:38.786-04:002010-07-03T16:46:38.786-04:00This is a great variation on a recipe I tried befo...This is a great variation on a recipe I tried before- I'm excited to try it out.

My hubby and I are wanting to start making soap and sell it. (atleast use it ) I'm a new follower and will be back to look at all your yummy recipes!<br /><br />We've been using our homemade detergent for a few months and love it!
