Question from DEBORAH HOLDEN
I wonder if anyone could tell me where I can buy pure Castile soap powder? I’m trying to make laundry soap to give as gifts to friends but I can only find liquid and my recipe calls for powder.
Also, I’m looking for a recipe for dishwasher powder, deodorant and toothpaste I can make. I have a recipe but am looking for others that may be better. I’ve been trying to stop using chemicals in my home for a few years now and I’m doing well.
The dishwasher powder recipe I have left the glasses with white on them, so I’ve had to use 7 generation. I did hear that if you get white on your glasses you need to increase the water temperature in the dishwasher. I’m not able to do that with young children still at home.
The toothpaste recipe I have is OK but not good enough yet to switch the children to it. Any ideas?
As for the deodorant, my recipe is a citrus spray and I would like to experiment with another recipe.

Here are a couple of sources for the powdered castile soap: A World of Plenty and ScienceLab.com.
Readers, any suggestions for the recipes?
