LISTENER FEEDBACK:

Paul loves Fantastic Contraption and recommends Whizzball. 

Gina recommends Eyejot.

Here's Ken's recipe for homemade detergent:

80 Grams of grated soap

110 Grams of Cleaning Soda

5 L hot water

Stir the soap and soda into the hot water until it's all dissolved and let it stand for 10 - 12 hours until it's a thick fluid. Put in a container and add to the wash in a plastic ball.

She found that you need to use about 1.5 times as much as commercial detergent and if it's badly soiled or when you are running a dark wash add a dash (30-50ml) of Cleaning Vinegar. You should also try and
avoid using a dryer as it costs 1 Euro per load.
