i use walmarts "Room Spray" in a 8 oz bottle i add some of that to
2 gal of vinegar,
2 cups washing soda
1 pt ammonia
6 cups water {warm to dissolve the washing soda}
then mix it all together and pour it into the 200 oz bottle {gain type of bottle}
{ if ya want your whites to come a little cleaner, i just use 1 cup of baking soda and soak for a bit. it seems to work well for me. i hang my clothes and all that vinegar does not smell.
also, when you dry your clothes in the dryer it hardly has any lint!!! WOO HOO!!! LOL}
if the washing soda doesn't dissolve all the way, add more warm water.
i have figured out that in our hard water that the dirt sticks to the soaps, by accident i forgot to add the soaps, and low and behold my clothes came out whiter, and did you know that borax is a poison?? so i don't use it for my babes, and it takes like 7 yrs to get redone in the ground. or something like that.
also for my rinse, i use
2 gal of vinegar
the other part of the "room spray"
i had to come up with something that these guys could have cuz they have itchy skin. athsma , so this was the very best!
