Okay, I have experimented with homemade powder laundry soap.  That last batch I made I used fals naphtha but I found it hard to shred. A friend of mine suggested I try Zote Soap. It's great, soft and easy to shred. So much so that I used my tiny shredder (you know that one for chocolate).  Plus 1 14 oz bar (.97 cents for one bar) verses 3 5 0z bars at Walmart ( .97 cents each x 3 = 2.91).  Anyway, I also was using the downey scent booster ( I love that stuff)...Well this time I decided to actually mix the scent booster in with my laundry soap.  Love my laundry soap, cleans and smells good too. This is a winner!
