It is great for spot cleaning. She would rub the Fels Naptha bar soap on stains and use it for other hand washables. A box of borax was also on her shelf.Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367506432776930657.post-31762152549853078742010-03-31T09:05:21.275+05:302010-03-31T09:05:21.275+05:30A Daring Adventure - Great to read your endorsemen...A Daring Adventure - Great to read your endorsement!<br /><br />David L. - Thanks so much for the encouragement! It takes discipline to post regularly, doesn't it? And I am not known for my discipline :).<br /><br />Laurel - We are really looking forward to Prague. Our short time in D.C. for training will be most likely consumed with learning about and thinking about Prague. Happy to read that you enjoyed your time there.Natalie Buda Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619472877535500690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367506432776930657.post-12282572977557035372010-03-31T00:55:47.391+05:302010-03-31T00:55:47.391+05:30found you on some FS blog source somewhere:) and r...found you on some FS blog source somewhere:) and read you were going to Prague next.

I have noticed some white residue on a few black clothes. Soaps Gone Buy has two recipes for a liquid version, but I can't bring myself to keep a 5 gallon bucket in the kitchen yet.<br /><br />Hope you all are enjoying the D.C. area!Natalie Buda Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619472877535500690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367506432776930657.post-16820733408929641582010-03-27T17:56:23.151+05:302010-03-27T17:56:23.151+05:30I have always wanted to try that!
