Do you mean regular Ivory Bath Soap?

Yes regular bath version. I could not find zote or naptha.

I buy naptha at True Value Hardware and a Albertsons grocery.

I put a cup of Oxy clean in the recipe and it does alot better on stains. My husbands a mechanic and gets lots of grease on coverals so it really does a good job of cutting oil,grease etc.

Walmart sells a off brand of oxy clean that is cheaper and works just as well.

Is that instead of the Purex or in addition to it?

 

[Chicken Woman]

I don't use purex at all

my washer has a separate compartment for the pre-wash, bleach-fabric softener-detergent. So I will try the oxi first! Thanks guys. Oh, my daughter, a nurse, came out today as she had some stains in her scrubs that she had washed and dried a few times and then remembered the "sample" detergent I had left for her. She used it and the stains came completely out! How impressive is that? I decided to use the dry bleach(color safe) mixed in with my dry homemade detergent and was amazed at the difference such a slight change made.

Will have to try the dry color bleach kind to get the blood and poop off the family clothings!

This was going to be my question.

I cannot find the naptha anywhere in town - either the stores do not carry it, or it is being bought up by all the Amish folks around here. (this is a very small town).

I do, however, make lye soap, and I'm thinking the harder lye soaps would work ok, but I was wondering if anyone has tried it themselves, before I make a big batch and find out it doesn't work so well.

now, I can buy lye soap, also, but since I make my own anyway, I figured to just make up a batch of it. (and I have some pig fat coming shortly to be rendered down into lard, anyway, so I figured to use that to make a batch.)

I've been wanting to try this stuff, but just cannot find the Naptha soap anywhere. And it sort of defeats the purpose if I have to order it online and pay shipping.
