whats the song used for this video?

[FrugalUpstate]

@lmadams123 Honestly, I don't remember the name of the song itself. The band & where I got it from is listed at the end of the video. You could go to podsafeaudio and do a search for the band name. . .

@wallywow - Personally I don't have an HE washer, so I can't comment from experience. But this was discussed on my blog -I think that you'll find the post & especially the comments from readers really address all sides of the issue.

YouTube won't let me post a link to the article. Sorry about that. If you go to FrugalUpstate and then do a search for "HE Washer" it will pull the article right up. Grrr. Dumb technology.

I will definitely be trying this.

@nurse2be2009 Great, I hope it works well for you.

I've been making my own detergent for about 6 months now, but because conventional laundry detergents are so toxic... Check out... ener-chi(DOT)com/are-you-poiso­ning-your-household-with-this-­chore/... Just replace the word "DOT" w/ an actual dot. I don't think youtube lets you post links... :)

@sprucewood57 Yes, that's true, but conventional laundry detergent is also quite toxic... Check out ener-chi(DOT)com/are-you-poiso­ning-your-household-with-this-­chore/... Just replace the word "DOT" w/ an actual dot. I don't think youtube lets you post links

Great idea. I will try it. How many "normal" size loads do you get from this recipe?

[sprucewood57]

Or..........You can just go to the dollor store and buy a 1 gal. container of Totally awsome detergent for $1.00...

@LottieSue Try using a Dr.Bronner's bar soap. Many natural/organic stores carry it for about $4 a bar.
