...with homemade detergent. After a prolonged use, my laundry began to yellow. My recipe had an Oxi-Clean in it so I am not sure wqhy it began to do that. At any rate I went back to my Kirkland brand of powdered laundry soap and it was a lot better. Also that detergent is good for other uses as well, like using for a car wash, cleaning concrete, and anything that you need a strong soap.

Hope this helps, Cat in Seattle
