Saving Mum Website

[Bridg]

Hi.

Can anyone remember that website called 'Saving Mum'? I've googled it and can't find it.
It was a website about saving money in cleaning and it had a recipe section too.

TIA

When I go to their website it says that the domain name has been suspended

Thats a shame, I loved that site

I have their book "saving mum" too, with the best tips from the site in it

Kim- Thats what pops up on my screen too.

Sweetgloss- I loved the site too. Was wanting their recipe for their liquid laundry detergent as cant find the one I had.

I had a look in my book and there is a recipe for Super Laundry Gel... is that what you are after? There is also the recipe for laundrypowder, let me know if thats what you're after and I will post the recipe

Sweetgloss- It did turn out like a gel. I remember the recipe almost filling a nappy bucket. It would be great if u could post the recipe. Thanks.

Super Laundry Gel\

This recipe is large and will fill 4 - 2 1/2 litre laundry bottles (10 litres). Only 1/2 cup is necessary per load so it will last weeks and weeks. This recipe is low suds, and works well for both front and top loaders.

Prep time - 15 mins

You will need -
1 bar pure laundry soap (pure soap, velvet or sunlight soap - Pure soap may be better for sensitive skin, velvet and sunlight soap have stain removing qualities)
1/2 cup lectric soda crystals
1/2 cup borax powder
Hot water
cold water
A large nappy bucket (10L capacity)
4 empty laundry bottles (2 1/2 L capacity)

1. Grate soap and put it into extra large saucepan. (you can also chop soap instead of garting, but grating helps it melt faster. If you do grate it be careful not to inhale the soap powder) Add 2 1/2 L of hot water and heat on low, until soap is completely melted(do not boil). Remove from heat. Add washing soda and borax, stirring well till completely dissolved.

2. Pour 2 1/2 L hot water into the bucket. Now with care add your soap mixture to the bucket and stir well.

3.Finally add 5L cold water and carefully stir again

4. with a kitchen jug carefully pour mixture into 4 bottles. Secure lids.

5. Let sit for about 24 hours and it will gel.

Result is a watery gel, give a shake before every load, use 1/2 cup per load. If clothes are extra dirty, add a cap of nappy powder, or even eucalyptus oil
