    Homemade Dishwasher Detergent aka another wingnut

    Good intentions, but bad results. I agree. Penny wise and pound foolish. Knowing how to clean things correctly really helps them last. It's one place I've learned it really doesn't pay to cut corners.

    deodorant stains

    I agree with Tomturbomatic's suggestions ... but don't be afraid to use liquid chlorine bleach once in a great while, especially on a white shirt. It does a fantastic job on this kind of thing. LCB really is pretty safe to use if you follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it...

    Please help me achieve whiter whites

    Good old fashioned "Biz" works really well, too, for Has enzymes and activated oxygen bleach. It does have optical brighteners so you shouldn't really use it on dark colors. http://bizstainfighter.com/

    Please help me achieve whiter whites

    Persil for under $75 I know, $75 is way too much for me to spend, on something I can't return. With my luck I'd be allergic and it would give end up giving me hives or something. I just got a $30 Amazon gift card for filling out a supplier survey at work, so I used it yesterday to buy a box...
