JDRgoddess, this recipe is cut down because most people don't have the supplies or the space to make 10 gallons at a time.

Peace,

I could only do a single take. Didn't think about covering the birds till too late. Oh well, there will be a next time!

There is a 25% off coupon on that book good until the end of January 2011. Just use the code MV35U at the smashwords checkout.

I'd love to try this sometime. I'm wondering though, does this detergent leave your clothes smelling good? I really like the way certain brands of commercial detergents leave my clothes smelling. If if there's not a good fragrance it leaves behind, is there anything to add to the mixture to make the clothes smell good that you know of?

honey, this recipe should make 10 gallons instead of 1.

the thing you ought to try is almost filling a 5 gallon tub with water, add the dilluted soap, mix, seal it and after 24 hours of sitting you mix it well again because it will be in a gelatin form. Fill whatever container you will use for laundry half way, then fill the rest with water. Mix before every use.

It's not the bird, it's just really bad audio. Your voice is coming from extremely far away and it's very hard to hear you. I couldn't follow this video at all. But the dishwashing liquid video was very good.

Not bad. Good first attempt.

Hunny.. two things.

1) The bird is distracting and louder than you.

2) There is s hum in the back ground it sounds like you're speaking trhough a tube or something. Perhaps a redo? Sorry.

Nice vid though and I favored it.
