Can I make a large amount of this at one time to have readily available? Or do I need to "make it fresh" each time I do laundry?

If you're asking about making own laundry detergent using Oxo-Brite, I've made large amounts at a time in liquid and powdered form and haven't had any issues at all.

I just put powder in the top of the washing machine and let it liquefy it.Walmart has the same thing "Sun Cleaner" powder for $6. I have diluted it for cleaning in a spray bottle only and it seems to last.

Not really sure what you're asking . . . it's a jug of powder with a scoop inside. You scoop it into your laundry. There's nothing to mix.

I would think that Oxine is like using bleach, so you may have to call the manufacturer on it's use in laundry. I am sure it would be fine for white clothes, but I wouldn't know how much to use since the water levels vary from machine to machine. We use 1/4 cup per gal when we make it for a spray for our chicken coops, seems that it might be too pricey to use as a laundry additive, in my opinion.

I don't know, I was concerned about that too. Try simmering 8 nuts in 1 quart of water for two hours, strain, and use the liquid. I use 1/4 to 1/3 cup in my high-efficiency washer and my clothes come out smelling clean and fresh. Store the liquid in a jar in the refrigerator.

I've found that a full container will yield oxidizer for approximately 48 loads of laundry, using the enclosed tbsp. This stuff is 2x as potent as "Oxyclean." I also use it for our tile floor grout. It does a great job.

Are you meaning to throw in with a load of laundry and it comes clean? I would be cautious, especially with the soap nuts, because, although the weave is porous enough for long term (ie; steeping tea or coffee) or really hot (ie; soup making) purposes, I don't believe that it would let out all of the product within one wash cycle and you may end up with a goopy mess stuck in your clothes. If you're wanting to STORE the detergent/nuts in them (this would be a tiny size to do that in, but whatever...) , that would probably be ok, as long as the particles aren't so fine that they'd sift through the bag.

You do not need to use them all at once. I have had them for several months and made several batches of sausage. They are packed heavily in salt, so you just take out a few casings as you need them. I usually make 6lbs at a time and it takes only about 3 casings to make 6 lbs.

I fill up my fabric softener reservoir with distilled white vinegar. Been doing it for years, and it works really great, no staticy clothes!

As others have indicated it is hard to tell. I put in 5 nuts at one time - I don't usually get to use them 5 times maybe two or three times. Again, I don't use them exclusively so I do a lot of laundry - 5 of us at the house and lots of dirty clothes.

well, If you put a whole lot maybe. But if you do this regularly,I would recommend a food processor or single serve blender.

I use it to make laundry detergent along with borax and a bar of Fels Naptha soap. I make 10 gallons for about $10 and it is so much cheaper and it gets my clothes so clean. Look for a recipe online and try it.

Yes. Just make sure you don't overdo the amount you use and I would say clean it after each use.

I don't know how the product is used as a laundry item. Here is a link that may help you http://www.starchsupplies.co.uk/starch-mixing-instructionsI purchased the starch for someone else and they use the product to make wallpaper paste.

I'm only going by memory on this. You need to rinse frequently, and only make as much as you can use in a few days. I think we used to wrap them in a damp paper towel toward the end of the batch.

I only use 1 at a time for each unit I have. But the quantity should provide your with a longer duration to repurchase...N were you really asking the question for an answer or just making a statement?

I make my own laundry detergent with 1 bar of Ivory Soap, 1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda. Heat the soap, blend it into a powder, then mix in remaining ingredients. Use 1-2 TBSP per load. It works great is super cheap!

We bought and used it once in our 1-bedroom apartment. Not all in one time, just a few times. It may be used all at once at the house the get an effect. And it's organic, that's why it cost more. Good luck

Hi there! It is not meant to be a leave-in, HOWEVER plenty of people do use it that way, the key is if you are not going to wash it out you need to use very little of it.
