I really think this I am going to share with my sisters and my twitter feed. I help people with money and this is a wonderful way to share how to save money on washing powder.

I bought a Salad Shooter on Ebay for $5, to grind the soap, works great. I was afraid that my food processor would smell like soap.

I also add 1/2 cup of Oxyclean to the mix.

Beth-usually when I haven’t gotten it to a fine powder it is because of the amount of moisture in the soap. I used to grind up the soap in the food processor, then I’d put it in two baking trays up on top of the entertainment center to “dry out” for a few days, then grind again. But one time I got irritated by the work and just decided to leave the bigger chunks, and it still dissolved no problem. So I stopped the extra step.
