Wine Stains - BY BERNADETTE
Thank you for your very helpful stain removing hints. But I have found that the best way to deal with spilt red wine on carpet is to cover the area with a thick layer of ordinary table salt, then when the salt has become hard and has absorbed all the wine, remove the salt and vacuum.
Laundry Gel BY VSHANHOLTZ

A really good laundry detergent substitute.

Items needed:
1.) Clean dry 5 gal bucket w/lid
2.) 1 bar of soap ( homemade,Fels Napatha, Ivory) grated
3.) 1 cup borax
4.) 1 cup washing soda(NOT baking soda)
5.) 3 gal boiling water

Stir grated soap into hot water until dissolved. Some folks like to cook this on the stove.
Pour into bucket. Mix borax and washing soda together dry.Pour slowly into soapy water stirring constantly. (Do not use your hands!!!) Stir until thick. Use 1 cup of gel for a normal load. With soap products you must ALWAYS use the hottest water possible and rinse well or your clothes will get dingy.

However, I have yet to find a detergent that get diapers as soft as Ivory and Fels Napatha still works wonders on construction or farmwork soiled clothes
