Used the Borax/baking soda/vinegar combo on a regular load of wash (regular dirt) -- successful! Maybe I will get brave and try my husband's uniforms ... maybe on two sets .... his socks came out very clean and bright!I have a bunch of yogurt containers with plastic lids that are coded "5" (can't put in regular recycle), so I'm thinking of cleaning them out and for laundry, filling with half Borax and half baking soda. And otherwise, distributing baking soda and Borax in individual containers in other rooms of the house for ease of cleaning while I'm there. I used to just keep one big thing of cleanser with a sponge or a rag, but invariably found myself at one end of the house wanting to clean a room while my cleaning supplies were in another area. I have found it simpler for me to have small batches of supplies in each room (kitchen, bathroom, laundry, etc.) so that I can just grab and scrub.
Website promo -- there is a website I found called "Soaps Gone Buy" -- they stock Fels Naptha Laundry soap and a bunch of other stuff. I just ordered 7 bars of Fels Naptha today -- they cost $1.50 each at the SGB site -- they can ship up to 7 bars of laundry soap for $4.80 Priority Flat Rate mail. They accept PayPal, and they are a verified merchant. I'll try to post my "review" of things once I receive my order. I'm always looking for cheaper, safer alternatives to chemicals -- including Tide!
Another website, MomAdvice, has free printables for keeping track of store prices and also a weekly calendar that I like. And I signed up with Organized Families, I want to print out a monthly family calendar to help keep track of my family's varying schedules on one sheet (not three calendars like at present). I'm hoping to do this rather than having to order a wall calendar - which, though it's nice, costs more money.
