notes to self - laundry tips

When washing the micro-fleece sheets, do NOT include any other items in the load. Otherwise a bunch of hair will come off of the sheets and stick to the other items.

Also, even though the sheets are light-blue, they may turn white underwear a yellowish shade.

GreenShield organic laundry detergent

I have a container of "GreenShield organic laundry detergent". I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or if it's supposed to be this way.... It is very thin; the consistency and color of rice-milk. It doesn't even feel soapy when I rub it between my fingers. It says to use half a cap-full for a load in a regular washer, and a third for an HE washer. But I suspect that even were I to pour half the container into the machine, that it wouldn't cause much suds.

I've used it for several loads now, and I can't say if it works or not. I've seen some stains/spots left on the washed items, but that can happen even with other detergents. I'm going to be buying some other detergent, as this one simply doesn't seem right to me. I'd be curious to hear from anyone else who may have used this product, and if theirs was as thin as mine.
