You never know where a tweet may lead. People laugh, but it’s true. It’s how I started writing for SavvySource. It’s how I’ve met some really good, now considered IRL friends. It’s also how I got on the morning news!
A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet asking if you made your own DIY laundry detergent. I replied back, because, even though I haven’t blogged about it, I’ve been doing that since September.
And then Beth Vaughn and her camera man came to my house to talk about!
Here’s the story: http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/diy-revolution-sweeping-nation-as-families-look-for-chemical-free-cost-efficient-alternatives
The summary: It’s true. A little super washing soda, a little borax, and a little liquid dishwashing soap, and boom! You can wash your clothes for nearly a year for under $10.
How cool is that?
Also, I kind of have a weird expression on my face here, no?
I seriously just made my own laundry detergent yesterday. I like that silly face you’re making there. 🙂
It really is all the rage, my friend!
saw you on tv
We were still sleeping (2 hour delay)- but it was fun to wake up to the news!
Wildly proud of your frugal ways, funny expression or no. 🙂 Love the power of Twitter, too.
thanks, friend!
How much of the solution is used for a load of laundry, i.e. cup???
Way to go Michelle! So cool you were on TV. Congrats. I have many a photograph where I have a similar smile – they need ot tell us to stop talking before they take the picture!
For Rachel’s with the Fels Napha bar do you use a Gallon milk jug to dilute the soap mixture in?
