Jun. 14, 2007 - Laundry Soap
Posted in Graceful Homekeeping
I am so frustrated with laundry detergent. I have been search forever for one that I like that won't break my bank. Actually, I could find one that I like if I could shop at Walmart or Target for my detergent. But I have chemical allegies and sensitivities. Chemicals in general make me sick. I make alot of cleaners on my own OR I use my Theives Cleaner from Young Living (essential oils don't bother my senses at all.) I get headaches when I walk down the cleaner aisles in the store. So I have had to look for alternative detergents to do my laundry. The alternative bio-friendly less chemical laundry detergent just don't pack a heavy punch. I even had to go back to regular dishwashing detergent because my dishwishes weren't getting clean. I did manage to find a dishwashing detergent there that doesn't smell like 5000 lemons have been squeezed in my kitchen so that helped with the headaches. I have been searching for a solution to my laundry problems for years. Nothing was getting clean. I found the solution a few nithgts ago. Underdog and I were talking about ways we can cut costs around here but still keep things fairly natural and chemical free. He told me that he really liked one of the laundry soaps I have tried in the past. It's called Charlie's Soap. I was reminded yesterday of how powerful that soap is. I had a pillow case that was really gross. I hae tried everything to get all the hair gels and greases fair stuff out of it. But it's been to no avail. Yesterday, I had just a little left and soaked the pillow case in it. It came out clean. It was awesome. Now all I need to do is convince Underdog that it would a better investment if we got the 5 Gal Bucket with 1280 Loads instead of the little bags that only do 80 loads at a time. That thing will last me forever. Now, I just need to find a good stain remover. Maybe I will look at The Clean Team to see what they have. If you've never checked out The Clean Team they are awesome. My dh allowed me to get a cleaning lady for a while so I can adjust to doing school ona regular basis and work through some of the post partum depression. But my goal while I am doing that is to study Speed Cleaning book and video that The Clean Team offers and apply that to my house and the training of my children. Then I can get back to using my chemical free cleaners on a weekly basis.

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 19 months to 9 yod and our "Finale" due in November '08. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
