I have confidence that your...Congratulations, Sean!<br />I have confidence that your laundry detergent will work better than Tide. Tide sucks, and I believe it tests below most other store-bought detergents. <br />When I made my own soap, I got the same stupid comments from a few people. Not many though, most were positive even if they thought it was not worth the effort. One lady, after I gushed about all of the luxury ingredients I loved to experiment with (avocado oil, shea butter, oils that I infused with calendula, chamomile, lavender, and pure essential oils for fragrance) responded with, "you can just buy soap, you know." Well, you won't be getting a free bar of mine, then! Then there was my dad, who loved my soap but complained about there not being as much suds as he was used to. I explained that it was because commercial soap adds sulfates and removes the glycerin from their soap to make it lather up, and he suggested that I add sulfates to mine. Some people just don't get it. <br />Your laundry soap probably won't add much lavender scent to your clothes because it takes a terrific amount of essential oil to survive the washing and drying process, but with the savings from making your own detergent, who cares? You can sprinkle your sheets with lavender, or make a linen spray. Or you can buy those scent crystals, and just use it on the stuff that you spend time sniffing. But clean clothes are what matter, the smell is just a bonus.PirateHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605736515492873293noreply@blogger.com
