You win some. you loose some

So it has been a few days since my last entry. And I have had some time to really try some of these things.

The No-Pooh, really works so far, in the family 5 out of 6 are already converted. The only hold out haven't really given it a chance yet...pretty good results I think. Thumbs up.

The homemade laundry soap; 2 cups(1 bar) grated Dr. Bronners peppermint soap, 1 cup Borax, 1 cup super washing soda, 1 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup Oxy Clean, mixed well and add 2 T to each large load, 1/3- 1/2 of cup of white vinegar added to the rinse water. 1 Tennis ball with a couple of drops of essential oils added to the dryer and your load comes out almost as soft as with a dryer sheet and much friendlier to the environment and the clothes smell much nicer than with a dryer sheet or softener. The homemade laundry soap definetely thumbs up.

The homemade dish detergent; not so succesful. After trying 3 different recipes, 2 powdered and 1 liquid, I am back to my trusted and not so environmentally friendly Cascade. We have very hard water with lot's of minerals and for some reason not matter what else I have tried, nothing else gets my dishes clean...
The homemade dish detergent thumbs down.

Mixed reviews and not all sustainable.. So what do you do. Clean dishes or clean environment? My compromise is that I do more dishes by hand with my ECOVER dish soap that is good for the environment and do fewer dishwasher machine loads but with the "bad" but "good" Cascade soap...

So there you have the good, the bad and the ugly.
