Economical Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap Recipe | Recipezaar
If you're into saving money, you could try this laundry soap recipe. From reading the reviews, it seems to work quite well. One woman even used it on her glass top stove and she claims to not having had to scrub. Hmmm. Interesting. Here's the recipe courtesy of Recipezaar:

This stuff will clean just about anything. I have a glass stovetop and
yesterday some water from potatoes boiled over and burned into the
stovetop. Normally I would scrub ever so gently with the 'recommended'
(and very expensive) cleaner. This time I put a bit of this soap gel on
the area and let it set about an hour. When I came back I was able to
remove this burned on stuff with a washcloth and no scrubbing at all!

I use this same laundry soap. Except I add 1 capful of Febreze Laundry
Odor Remover. Which makes the detergent smell like Commercial
Detergent. This soap does clean clothes just as well as any detergent.
For stain removal pre-treat the stain by wetting it and rub the bar of
Fels-Naptha on the wet stain. Scub spot with toothbrush. Fels-Naptha
will get out most any stains. Including yellow formula stains and
grease. Even on items that have been previously washed.

I have used this for the last year or so. I have to say after trying it
as a laundry detergent I did not like it. My whites would turn grey and
it seemed like it would "eat up" my towels. It is very strong in that
way I think. But we LOVE it as a cleaner and put it in a spray bottle.
If you want to see your kitchen sink and faucets shine, you have to try
this. I couldn't find anything that would clean my textured shower
floor and thought I would just pour some in and scrub that
way....wherever it laid it was white under there...that was before
scrubing it! We love the smell...I will use ZEST 'clean linen' scent
and just a touch of lavender in it. I would say just be careful and
test a small spot before trying it the first time on something new to
make sure you have good results with it. (Don't put it on anything
painted)
