		<description>Jerry, I currently use the gel form in my HE front-loading steamwasher.  It works fine, but I definitely contend with remaining odors and stains often.  If the liquid detergent tray in my washer allowed me to use more liquid soap per load, I might have better luck. But my hunch is that the more concentrated dry form of the soap would simply work better.  Thanks Wretha for the detailed recipe/instructions!  I have read/heard around the internet that a lot of people are very satisfied using the dry form in the HE washing machines, and as Wretha pointed out, you only need 1 to 3 tablespoons per load!  I will post a blog about how the dry soap works for me in my front-loading steamwasher in the future.  Thanks so much for everyone&#039;s questions and input!</description>

		<description>Has anyone tried this soap in the new high efficiency washing machines? Regular soap produces too much suds and is typically not recommended for them because of the suds problem.</description>

		<description>One part grated bar soap
one part washing soda
one part borax

Mix together, use one-three tablespoons per load, it will not seem like enough, but it is more than enough. You need to get the bar soap ground down as finely as possible, I grate mine then run it though the food processor with the blade attachment. I grate up one bar of soap, measure it, then add equal parts of washing soda and borax. Omit the borax if your gray water goes out onto plants that you wish to keep, borax will kill plants, your laundry will still come out clean without the borax.</description>

		<description>i would love the instructions for the dry form of this. i have resisted making the liquid form because of lack of storage but the dry from would be great. please also tell us how much of the powder you use per load.
PS does anyone know how this (powder or dry) works in a front loader)
Thanks!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been using the dry form of this for a few months and my whole family loves it! My clothes are cleaner and we have no fear of rashes or skin problems caused by caustic chemicals used in commercial clothes detergent. Stains come out much easier without having to use &quot;stain removers&quot;. Oh, and saving money isn&#039;t bad either!</description>

		<description>Thank you, your comment is inspiring!!  I am actually planning to switch to the powder soap when my current batch of liquid is gone because I think it will work better with my steamwasher (not quite ready to go off the grid myself!).  Thanks again, I&#039;m gonna try your recipe =)</description>
