***WARNING***

DO NOT, under any circumstances, make your own laundry detergent. Artificial fragrance and chemicals are your friends. I am now having to re-wash each of the 5+ loads of laundry that were done last week because they STINK. The clothes are clean (as far as I can tell) but musty, yucky smelling. Really, it's probably fine. People use unscented detergent all the time. But I was raised on that fresh, deliciously clean Tide aroma. I expect my clothes to smell . . . good . . . when I put them on. And these clothes don't smell good. At all. So much for being bored. I've got plenty to do now . . .
