Soapy and Sudsy and Seems to work

So the laundry detergent is all right. I don't know where I got the idea it had to gel, but it didn't really gel at all. It's got some gelled looking particles but mostly is really liquid-y.

I don't have much to report on it's effectiveness because well, yesterday was laundry day and I did all of our laundry using up the last of the Tide. But today I took all the sheets and blankets off the beds and washed them. And they look clean and smell clean, in fact despite Ash's repeated remarks that the detergent looked gross, she did say that she really liked the way her sheets smell now. But of course they're sheets, it's not like the showed visible signs of dirt anyway, so I can't say it's like miraculous that they're SO clean now... But I'm thinking of sending the girls out in the mud next time it rains just so I can really see how it works. :)

But I'm more than happy that for about $10 I have the supplies to make about 10 batches of detergent. Each batch looks like it'll be the equivalent of a jug of Tide. Not too shabby, I say.
