Lucky is Sparky! Good for you that it did a great job on the mess, Lisa! Lillipad: No, do NOT use "baking" soda in place of washing soda. Sc-irish: I have a front loader & use it & it works fine. The original recipe, which calls for diluting with 1/2 water and 1/2 gel on the second day, says to use 1/2 cup for top load wash and 1/4 cup for front loader. I, myself, wash big loads, so I use a 1/2 cup in my front loader. Adjust accordingly if you decide not to dilute with water. Important to know also.... This detergent DOES NOT PRODUCE SUDS, but cleans your clothes great. The white vinegar(acid) rinse is important to know, as the detergent is alkaline & is thus neutralized.

I was just in Target yesterday, and they had marked down the small size bottles of Method Peony Blossom detergent. I wonder if they are going to discontinue the Peony scent in favor of this new scent?

I hate that the mexican grocery store that has all the good deals on Ariel and downy is so far from my house. I can't just pop in there on a weekly basis to see what is on sale, and usually their detergents are not in the online sales ad. I have found Downy for $1.88 for a good size bottle and my mexican Ariel with the customs sticker on it is in plentiful stock. I guess I will have to find an excuse to get back over to the other side of town sometime this weekend just for a look.

Used this for the first time today, and it does smell really nice! I used a scant capful that went in with the clothes and ran a load with prewash, and there was still plenty of scent after the clothes came out of the dryer. This might be a keeper. Thanks for sharing folks!
