I had some concerns on how it cleaned so I did a little test. <br />I took a piece of a white T-Shirt and stained it with Ketchup, Mustard, Chocolate and Coffee. I rubbed the stains in and let it dry. I then placed it in a normal load of laundry with a cup of this homemade detergent. I didn't pre-treat it or add any other additives to the detergent (like bleach). I used a normal permanent press cycle. I was actually impressed by how it cleaned. Of course some of the stains weren't completely gone but I think the results were just as good (if not better) than some of the store bought detergents - and at more than half the cost!!! I even posted pictures of the results on my FB page, my friends were impressed.Yet He Saves Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838380712773137237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21614057.post-61743056892851914562013-01-20T17:04:59.780-08:002013-01-20T17:04:59.780-08:001 bar of Fels Napha grated
