Make your own detergent. It is easy, really cheap, and can be any scent you want or no scent at all.
Just dissolve borax, washing soda, and bar soap in a bucket. Add 1 scoop of the resulting gel to the laundry. Make a few gallons per batch if you like.
Cool link. I'm surprised I didn't notice soap scum since my water is very hard and unsoftened. I wonder if the borax or washing soda helped. They do raise the pH a bunch.

That's based on saponification of a fatty acid (unless your bar soap is detergent)
I would call that a liquid soap not a detergent, i.e. laundry soap.
Detergents are a little more aggressive.
I have used both. I'm going to disagree with you on the difference in effectiveness. Have a great Sunday fren.
If it works for you, good.
