It's where I got mine before I even started working there. If you do not have a reliable health food store in your area, I highly recommend Mountain Rose Herbs ( mountainroseherbs.com ) It's hard to say how many loads I get per bucket, depends upon the size of my loads. I'm estimating around 30+. Thanks for asking. Hope you love it~Marmee's Pantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612989781352785304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-13237547961212525292016-02-08T07:59:08.239-05:002016-02-08T07:59:08.239-05:00Where did you get the lavender oil?

If you, or anyone in your family, works hard outside or in a factory, this is the recipe you want. Thanks for asking!

This one is a gel and your other recipe is more a liquid right? Do you find they both worked well? Which one is your favourite?

I like to use lavender b/c, not only does add a great fragrance that's not too unmanly for the guys in one's family, but it's anti-bacterial, too. You can add tea tree, grapefruit, ylang-ylang. Make sure that it's a clear oil so that it won't soil your clothes, & don't add too much. Grapefruit is a very clean fragrance.<br /><br />Thanks for asking & thanks for visiting the Pantry!<br /><br />Blessings, K~Marmee's Pantryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612989781352785304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-65425621705786968452012-08-17T23:43:23.328-04:002012-08-17T23:43:23.328-04:00Can you use something other than lavendar? or do y...Can you use something other than lavendar? or do you even need a fragrance at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-9892462801459532282012-06-29T11:13:44.948-04:002012-06-29T11:13:44.948-04:00I use the powder of this, I like it so much better...I use the powder of this, I like it so much better than store bought....my towels even smell cleaner!

Would this work in a new front loading machine which has to use high efficiency soap? If i don't use one that is, it over suds and gets all backed up... does it make loads of suds?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
