It disolves great in the washer and cleans my clothes really well. I added in some purex crystals just for added smell but that step is optional. Thanks for sharing...I will not be buying storebought detergent anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00812835516239061320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997355500169361333.post-48040681045503134552012-04-01T21:34:14.258-05:002012-04-01T21:34:14.258-05:00Of course!

Borax or sodium tetraborite decahydrate, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium (salt), boron, (a primary element in almost everything), oxygen, and water.<br /><br />Arm and Hammer washing soda is 100% sodium carbonate. It is biodegradable and is also all natural. It's often used as a water softener. <br /><br />As for the soap, that all depends on which kind you use.<br />Dr. Bronners soaps are all fair trade organic castile soaps. Here's some info on them- http://drbronner.com/DBMS/LS.htm<br />Zote pink soap is also biodegradable, and is made from coconut oil and tallow.<br />As for Fels Naptha, it's still natural but not as good as the other soaps. Here are the ingredients in Fels Naptha: Soap (sodium tallowate*, sodium cocoate* (or) sodium palmate kernelate*, and sodium palmate*), water, talc, cocnut acid*, palm acid*, tallow acid*, PEG-6 methyl ether, glycerin, sorbitol, sodium chloride, pentasodium pentetate and/or tetrasodium etidronate, titatium dioxide, fragrance, Acid Orange (CI 20170), Acid yellow 73<br /><br />I hope this answers your question!frugally honesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168507379816606742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997355500169361333.post-30924630100912776292012-04-01T10:38:20.425-05:002012-04-01T10:38:20.425-05:00Wanting to make this, just not sure about the &quo...Wanting to make this, just not sure about the "ECO - ness" of it.

But I imagine you could put it in at the beginning. <br /><br />If I add too much I smell a slight vinegar smell, but it evaporates and is gone quickly in the dryer.
