			<description><![CDATA[ I saw a post somewhere but there was no reply. So I am asking again..
<br>
I am new here and I am a very frugal shopper but I need advice on the laundry soap. I have a front load washer and use cold water to wash...I tried the powder
soap before but it didn&#39;t seem to disolve real well. Is it because of the size of the grate? Or is it that the fels neptha soap is better in hot water...
OR because I need to do the liquid version?
<br>
<br>
To be honest the powder for me is faster so that... ]]></description>

			<link>http://thefrugalshopper.yuku.com/topic/1798/t/Septic-safe-Hard-Water-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I am interested in making my own laundry soap, but I need to know if it is safe for septic tanks first.
<br>
<br>
Also, we have hard water here.  Is there anything I need to do different with the laundry soap to keep clothes from turning gray or dingy?  Would vinegar in
the rinse work?  Or could I add it to the laundry soap?  How much would I need to use?
<br>

promises low prices and has an introductory offer if you sign up soon. You have to pay for bids but if you sign up before their first auction finishes you get
100% extra free. There are also bonuses for signing up friends, for both of you. Hope some of you find that useful - my partner and I have signed up and are
looking forward to bidding... ]]></description>

wrong. I followed the recipe exactly - except I used Kirk&#39;s Hardwater Castile because I couldn&#39;t find any Fels Naptha locally.
<br>
<br>
This is the recipe:
<br>
<br>
3 Pints Water
<br>
1/3 Bar Fels Naptha Soap, Grated
<br>
1/2 Cup Washing Soda
<br>
1/2 Cup Borax

2 Gallon Bucket

If you add essential oils to the soap does it make the soap oily or greasy? What scents work best without causing problems with the soap consistancy? How much essential oil do you add to a soap batch? Any brand name essential oils work better than other ones? TIA, JeanneRJ ]]></description>
