Just pulled the post backup and I am happy to report that around the time I made this post I made a 1.5 gallon container of the "oxy" mix and not only do we have a few loads left, It has cleaned our cloths better than tide and my dads skin allergy has cleared up completely,witch was half the reason I took on the project. I'm going to try an make an automatic friendly version and replace the zoat with soap nut extract! I'll report back with my findings asap.
Happy washing all!

A question, is this detergent high or low sudsing?

With the zoat soap this formula is very high sudsing and is best suited for a wringer washer. Some time towards the end of this week I'm going to experiment with other surfactants to make an auto washer version of this powder.
Froth and soap go togehter
Standard rule back in the day when soap was the queen of laundry rooms was to keep a layer between two to three inches deep (give or take) of "lively" suds. This was an indication that conditions were proper for good washing. That is there was enough soap to clean *and* keep much and hard water minerals in suspension.
The froth issue is why soaps had to go when using automatic washing machines and in particular front loading machines.
Not only does excess froth impede cleaning and rinsing but it causes problems with spin cycles as well. Back in the days of doing wash by hand and or using semi-automatics such as wringers or even twin tubs all that froth wasn't such a huge issue. Largely because laundry was lifted out of sudsy water and either put through a mangle or into an extractor.

How close was my guess of percentages you used?

Just checking in...
How is the automatic version of the powder coming along? Any updates in the existing formula.
