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?
