Asking because I honestly don't know, for the laundry detergent recipe, does it matter that I was always told to get HE detergent? I was under the impression that the soap for "high efficiency" washers was different somehow than normal soap. I am ready to admit I was conned by the detergent industry and this is just marketing speak, but I also don't want to fuck up my washer, it cost a lot of money I don't have to replace it.
HE soap sounds like marketing bullshit.
When I was making my own detergent, I used regular baking soda, did not bake it at all, borax, and table salt. 50/50 borax and soda, and then like 10-20% portion of salt.
Absolutely neutral scent.
It's more concentrated.
