In the meantime, I think I'm gonna try making some myself...I hope I don't blow the oven up or something like that.

And I've spent $13 TOTAL for the entire 1 1/2 years worth of dishes. I still have about 6 months supply left.<br /><br />Also, I've searched for "Washing Soda". In my search I discovered that it can be made from scratch from Baking Soda. Evidently, you can also buy it as Soda Ash in the pool section at someplace like WalMart. I am going to attempt to make some laundry detergent soon, now that I've figured this out.

If you spray the toys with 5% vinegar and leave them out to dry and dissipate the smell, that should help. <br /><br />I will pass on the info on the diapers... I think my daughter in law is going to try out cloth diapers, so the vinegar and borax is good info.<br /><br />Please keep the suggestions coming!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899369361471730544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855830304354279442.post-79751768090610965632010-03-30T19:12:48.875-07:002010-03-30T19:12:48.875-07:00Have you ever heard of Norwex?

Their window cloth and dust cloth are two of my favorites!<br />I generally use their everyday clothes to clean off toys and things that shouldn't be immersed in water, but if you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! :)Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027895255167455637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855830304354279442.post-45733134518244923312010-03-30T12:22:28.483-07:002010-03-30T12:22:28.483-07:00I've been using vinegar for soaking the dirty ...I've been using vinegar for soaking the dirty diapers (neutralizes the urine) and borax for washing and soaking.

I guess if it didn't work, I could just break down and dry some :)<br /><br />I added it to the list.

Use as you would regular softener. <br /><br />Just don't do what I did and use a mixed lavender/rose combo...it turned the vinegar bright pink so it couldn't be used for clothing...instead I diluted it and made it window cleaner! hehe...That could've been very bad..Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741321309330513890noreply@blogger.com
