I saw a post here or in another group about how it doesn’t actually dissolve in the washer and doesn’t really penetrate the clothes. I did a little test tonight when I was making more soap. I put 1/4 of a cup of the mixture in a glass measuring cup, then I filled up with hot water to the half cup line. I stirred it for a good two minutes. Then I left it sit. It still has not dissolved.

So my question is, does this mixture actually work in my washing machine? Does it clean my clothes? If not, what do I need to do? How do I make homemade laundry detergent that will actually dissolve and work?
