Still at the Washboard

Just a few brief notes on the laundry detergent:

After sitting for a week in the bucket, it separated and was chunky. I was worried that it wouldn't work, or that it would leave oily spots on my clothes. After a little more experimentation here's what I discovered:

* stirring it helps some but it won't stay mixed.

*Pouring the detergent into the tub as it fills with water BEFORE putting in the clothes keeps the spots from attaching themselves to your clothes.

*Warm water melts the clumps very quickly. But cold water washing didn't leave any chunks or oily spots either.

I'm hoping to share more "fun" stuff later this weekend. My life kinda got away from me the last two weeks. Keep saving 'til then!
