Here's a lifehack for you: pool pH-down is pure washing soda. No need to take the more expensive baking soda and then add the expense of an oven. The great news is if you have a grow ... balikg the baking soda will bump your indoor pCO2. Truly "baking" soda!

Afaik it'll be good in the dishwasher. cn

I saw the laundry soap recipe and must warn about one thing. If your water is hard, it won't work well. The old-timey Calgon was loaded with phosphates, but they were in there to make hard water work with soaps. They've replaced it with a greener, less-effective material. cn

So what do you recommend? Any suggestions?

ok here we go


The next time you have green onions, don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely. We just use kitchen scissors to cut what we need for meals. I periodically empty out the water, rinse the roots off and give them fresh water.

I did this last year.. and when we moved to this new house.. I kept them alive.. never thinking they would last the "winter" here but they did and now they are getting ready to bloom again. they have the smallest charcoal looking seeds in the flower that once the pod breaks open you can find them all over the grown.. It looks like bud worm poop and when I saw a layer of seeds I freaked...

crappy pic.. but Sun's not even out yet..

I simply use the commercial stuff. A blend of commercial with boosted-Ivory might work decently ... if your water is soft. Somehow I don't think FL's water is very soft.
Something to *try*, but I don't know how much of a savings it would be, is to buy good dish soap (Palmolive, Joy etc.) as the soapy bit. You can use half as much of that as bar soap, combined with the full dose of washing soda.
If you can still get TSP (trisodium phosphate; painters use it for wall prep) admixing some of that to the washing soda (say one part TSP, three parts carbonate) might let the mix work in moderately hard water. How keen are you to experiment/play with it? Use Sweetie's skivvies as a test article. If he has no cause to complain ... it'll have stood the Diaper Zone Test. ;) cn

Been reading a lot on roundup recently, I knew it was monsanto so avoided buying it. I bought pure glyphosate which is the main and "harmless" ingredient in roundup, turns out they own that too so bummed. Thing is I have ground elder choking up my garden and I read nothing but devestating things ._. will turn most organic farmers to roundup...

Manners. There's a life hack that seems to be getting forgotten. Use them, when I was in sales if you didnt use manners I never went the extra mile. Im not the only person like that.

Maaan, you guys wanna save a few bucks a month? Stop buying all those worthless hair products, just use 1/4 apple cider vinegar and 3/4 water for conditioner. I honestly havent used shampoo or conditioner since march of 2012. Feeling somewhat homeless adds an edge to my day.

Another thing, for those of us who don't completely trust city water...fill up a gallon jug full of tap water, leave in the hot sun for an a couple hours, chill in the fridge, and you cant taste the chlorine any longer. Not sure if it's healthier or not, but it sure taste better than city water.

I forgot this one, if you don't have a badass tv, but you have 250 bucks or more to spare, go buy yourself one at the store, use it for 3 -6 months depending on return policy, and take it back. Proceed to next store and repeat 2 or 3 times a year. Boom. A couple years ago I was out of gatorade, and noticed 8 empty 32 oz bottles that were going in the recycling, so I took them out and put them in my duffle bag. Drove to Mcdonalds, ordered a gatorade, and proceeded to use a funnel to fill up all 8 bottles. Walked out like a G

Gross. I would rather pay $12/year for shampoo than have vinegar in my hair.

Sounds like a bad idea to let bacteria start growing. I have never tasted chlorine in city water and I have drank in a lot of cities. I have tasted minerals, but this won't remove those.

dont use vinegar in your hair everyday thats horrible. once every 3 weeks maybe but not everyday. hair products are not worthless they clean your hair of bad oils while keeping the good oils in
