As great as having clothes with no smell has been, I’m starting to really miss putting on my comfy sweaters and smelling a beautiful smell. I love Purex Crystals! But I wouldn’t mind shredding a natural bar soap with a lite fragrance. Any recommendations?

I’ve been making my own laundry detergent for about 1 year using this recipe. I make the liquid form. I have a front loading HE machine and I haven’t had any problems. I used to put fragrance in, but don’t bother anymore. I have grated the Fels Naptha in the past, but have recently started using Ivory snow flakes. I can’t wait to try the microwave! Thanks for the tip!
