Laundry Soap

Okay, I have now been using my homemade laundry soap for over a week.  It gets my clothes clean just fine.  I have noticed that I have not been itching as much.  I love the cost - about $2.00 for 10 gallons of laundry soap!  My next frugal attempt is to stop using dryer sheets.  Instead use half a sponge dipped in 1 part liquid fabric softner and 2 parts water.  Wring out and throw in dryer.  It is suppose to work as well as dryer sheets, plus the sponge is reuseable - save the planet!  Besides I HATE taking out the trash :)
