arabianhorselover	Posted - Sep 10 2009 : 9:11:30 PM OMG! I can't believe myself! After all this time I looked in where you put the soap on my front end loader and would you believe what I found? It says "Up for powder and down for liquid". You would have thought I was a true blonde. I LMAO when I read that because all this time I have been melting my soap in my little jar in the kitchen in the house and then have to take out to the garage where my washer is!!! I do believe that deserves a "Here's you sign" !!!! Ha!

Cabinprincess	Posted - Aug 13 2009 : 8:38:20 PM Maryjane, check out what you inspired! Look under nifty thrifty and see the milk box to soap box. You have started a trend from your really cute little pink soap box. Smiles, Melody June God's gift to you are your talents, your gift to Him is how you use them.
Roxy7	Posted - Aug 11 2009 : 7:31:06 PM Ah okay, thanks!
Maryjane Lee	Posted - Aug 11 2009 : 2:15:55 PM I've used both and I love it! The batch I am using now has both. Just make sure it equals to approx. 16 oz. of bar soap. Good luck! Hugs!

Roxy7	Posted - Aug 11 2009 : 1:28:06 PM Do I use the Zote and the Fels? It might be pretty with pink and yellow, but I dont want to overdo it, either. I finally have all my ingredients and I am just looking for a tub.
southerncrossgirl	Posted - Aug 10 2009 : 05:27:24 AM Hey Girls, Guess what grocery store I saw and actually went in? Piggly Wiggly. I was at the coast camping in NC, and they still have Piggly Wiggly stores. I love it! I wish I had read this thread before I went, I could have looked for pink Zote!!!

nubidane	Posted - Aug 09 2009 : 09:24:42 AM Lehmans.com. search Zote & I lied oops It is $3.95 for 3 bars. 877-438-5346
Diane B Carter	Posted - Aug 09 2009 : 08:17:20 AM Does Lehmans have an address or a 1-800 number??? I want to make some laundry soap for Christmas gifts. Hope all your days are Sunnydays. dianebcarterhotmailcom.blogspot.com
Maryjane Lee	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 3:11:54 PM That is a great price Lisa! I pay 99 cent each for mine. And yes, they are huge! When I use Zote with my recipe, I use 1 1/3 bars. I love it to because it smells so clean! Hugs!

nubidane	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 2:51:18 PM Diane Zote is a western US soap(based in Mexico). I could not find it here either, so I finally gave in & ordered some from Lehmans. I think it was $2.75 for 3 bars, but the bars are HUGE!!! One bar of Zote equals 3 of Kurts Castile. I like them both, but this is a nice change. Neat scent too. Kinda citronella.. Of course I also ordered some Amish made corn brooms & other stuff too. Could not resist. Love Lehman's!
Diane B Carter	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 1:45:08 PM I can't find it either...It's not at Wal-mart or Wegmans or the dollar stores. But I will keep looking. I still have plenty of white homemade soap. I love it but I do want to try the pink.......... Hope all your days are Sunnydays. dianebcarterhotmailcom.blogspot.com
Calicogirl	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 1:32:54 PM My Wal-Mart doesn't carry it. I found it at City Market which is Kroger's or King Soopers ~Sharon By His Grace, For His Glory http://merryheartjournal.blogspot.com/
Maryjane Lee	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 11:31:47 AM If your Walmart has it, it is always in the laundry section...laundry detergent, softener, etc. Sometimes when I go they are out of it. Good Luck Beverly! Hugs! Maryjane Lee Farmgirl #44 http://sweetsassysadielee.blogspot.com http://thebeehivecottage.blogspot.com http://beehivecottage.etsy.com http://sassysadielee.etsy.com
Beverley	Posted - Aug 08 2009 : 10:55:08 AM ok for the people who found Zote at walmarts where exactly did you find it in walmarts. I looked at mine and can't find it.??

arabianhorselover	Posted - Aug 04 2009 : 10:32:09 PM Ohh! I just saw your post MaryJane. They are Samsung. I got the bigger ones since I needed it for washing the horse blankets and and leg wraps and our comforters and such. I got a really good deal on them. Sears had them on sale the day after Thanksgiving and I got both for a 1000.00. They are usually that much a piece. Maybe they will have them on sale again this year if you can hold out a little while longer. They are really nice. I actually enjoy doing laundry. I don't have a laundry room. They are in my garage which is not attached to the house. So it is a chore. But with my new set and my new laundry soap I am actually enjoying it.

Maryjane Lee	Posted - Aug 01 2009 : 2:03:06 PM Jennifer, what brand did you buy? I like the quiet thingy! Wow, and your horse blankets...great machines no doubt! Hugs! Maryjane Lee Farmgirl #44 http://thebeehivecottage.blogspot.com http://beehivecottage.etsy.com http://sassysadielee.etsy.com
arabianhorselover	Posted - Aug 01 2009 : 12:09:39 PM Maryjane, I love my front end loaders. I got mine right after Thanksgiving last year. They are so quiet you can't even tell they are running. I can even wash my horse blankets in them. Can't wait to try my laundry soap on them.

Maryjane Lee	Posted - Jul 31 2009 : 9:43:46 PM Jennifer that is wonderful!!! So thrilled you have joined the band wagon!!! I think I am wanting a front loader! All my daughters have them and love them! The laundry detergent recipe is working for them to. Hugs!

arabianhorselover	Posted - Jul 31 2009 : 9:02:38 PM I made my first batch of laundry soap. I have a front loader and it worked fine. I love it. My clothes smell so clean! I gave some to my friend and she is going to try it too. Can't wait for her to tell me how she likes it.

dutchy	Posted - Jul 31 2009 : 2:03:51 PM I have a front loader too. I have not made this but bet I could just use it as in any other machine.
