I woke up this morning and opened up my bucket and ta-da! I ended up with a white layer of soap and then a lot of soapy water. Did your's turn out like this? I stired mine and it broke up the soap layer, but it's like the soap didn't dissolve. I still have water with saop bits in it. I am going to assume that it is still usable the way it is. Why didn't it turn into slime? Help! I made laundry detergent #1 yesterday afternoon. I woke up this morning and opened up my bucket and ta-da!

Next I had Ivory much cheaper love the smell. I was really looking to be more chemical free all natural so next I am going to try kirks casteel soap.

The clothes don't smell vinegary and no other real scent either - just.. clean. Like water.

I have read about vinegar in lieu of Fleecy, but as you might recall, <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/97/244987843_126e60ce88_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">I'm a Fleecy whore</a> and I can't actually imagine life without it. I take it the clothes don't smell vinegary afterwards? Do they still smell like the soap? That is freakin’ awesome.

Keep in mind that it was the first time we'd made it, so we were ultra-careful and cautious and spent some time (mid-process) discussing things. :) Really, the grating took the most time - but it was, for me at least, quite fun. Then we just boiled water, stirred the grated soap in, added the dry ingredients (then stirred again) and finally added it to the plain water. The quantity we made will last us about 2 months, I think, give or take a bit. All told, including the grating, it took about 30 minutes.
