(I don't use any shampoo at all..)<br /><br />I thought I'd LUV Lush too (and loved the shop, and buying waste-free!) but the soaps.. they are vile!! /sigh/<br />Maybe it's a different factory and different ingredients.. (They vary internationally a bit..) <br /><br />Do you wash laundry with ordinary soap too? Got a recipe for using castille soap flakes from cousin.. We're still unsure what would be most eco and easiest.. Currently have a bought 'eco gel/liquid' from a health store cause the soapnuts didn't wash the bigger stains so well..Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832545657562957725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651375.post-32660109652112276472009-11-03T13:09:45.459-05:002009-11-03T13:09:45.459-05:00I add fragrance oils (mostly the stuff that I buy ...I add fragrance oils (mostly the stuff that I buy from the web that I end up not liking) to the machine along with the soap. We have a Fisher-Paykel (sp?) washer which has a center well that you put the liquids and powders into; adding the FO that way helps disperse it in the water.<br /><br />As for your Lush soap -- send it to meeeeeee! I lurv Lush. No, really, if the fams hates the soap, just use it for rags and heavy duty stuff like bath mats and rag rugs.Mistressmybaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040035582367431567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651375.post-45657282191515604452009-11-03T08:36:32.266-05:002009-11-03T08:36:32.266-05:00Do you add the essential oils to the laundry when ...Do you add the essential oils to the laundry when it's being washed with soap nuts or..? (just curious)<br /><br />Good to hear about good use of soap!<br />I ended up spending waay too much on almost-zero-waste soap this year too, and I even hate some of it (some of Lush), cause it smells too strongly!! (Plus everyone in the family hates it, and I don't dare to gift or donate it, sigh!) So, what to do with it?Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832545657562957725noreply@blogger.com
