Does anyone use this brand of Eucalyptus oil which is 100% pure?  It does say on the bottle that you can use 2 capfuls in the wash for woollens or work clothes.  I have a 200ml and a 500ml bottle so would like to be able to use it and try Morte's recipe next time I need washing powder.

Just made myself some washing powder. I'm so excited you'd think I'd discovered the meaning of life.

Have never been so enthusiastic to do washing before :)

Thanks so much for this recipe. Love, love, love this forum!!

Karen you sound like me the first time I made this (only about a month ago) - handed a sample in a snap lock bag  to everybody who entered our front door, as well as taking it to the beautician who purchased a TMX sight unseen due to my ravings each time I went in.   :D  :D   :D

Ha ha!  Sometimes I wish the forum had a "like" button, like facebook.

Just made my first 2 batches of CP63 recipe and the first load of washing is on, glad I read through all these post, just did a costing and one batch costs me $5.15 bought everything at my local IGA. DH was getting excited when I said we might have to go to bunnings :D but he missed out on going to his favorite shop. :o
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

17-20 November and we will be on the Disney Park Convnetion Centre. There are lots of French counterparts coming so maybe I could arrange to meet with someone closer to you. My good friend lives near Alsace.

Ok so i have not made this yet as I am now intrigued by Morte's version. Not sure what to do? I like nice smells so Morte's appeal more because of this. LOL
