Homemade Cleaning Supplies and Ratings

Homemade cleaning supplies, hmmmm?  Sounded strange to me to, but I have a good friend tell me about making a few things and how awesome it is.  What???? Well being the curious stay at home girl I am I decided to try it.  Everyone loves to save a little money right?  So I made laundry detergent, fabric softener and dishwasher powder.  How did this work for me?
This does not show price and savings or how to make it,  just ingredients and what I thought of each:
Laundry Detergent #1:  Cup Borax,  Cup Washing Soda, Bar Fels Naptha Soap, Mix all and put
                                      TBS. in washer with load of laundry.
Laundry Detergent #2:  Cup Borax natural laundry soap, Cup baking soda, Cups Arm and   
                                       Hammer Washing Soda, 1 Fels Naptha, 4 gallons water. 
Dryer Softener #1:            1 Bottle of conditioner (hair cond.), water, and cups distilled
                                        vinegar
Dryer Softener #2:           Vinegar in each load in washer (does not come out smelling like vinegar.
Dishwasher Soap:          Cups Borax,  Cup. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda,  Cups Lemi Shine
                                        Cup Kosher Salt.

OK NOW FOR THE RESULTS BY ME:

PRODUCT	MAKING PROCESS	RESULTS	Star Rating
Laundry Detergent #1	Easy if you can use measuring cups	Clothes come out clean and easy to add to wash no mess.	*****
Laundry #2	It takes time to mix and add ingredients. Boiling water and stirring	Clothes came out clean. But it is time consuming to make and sloppy when putting in washer.	**
Detergent #1	Easy again adding ingredients	I felt like my clothes came out with a weird feel to the clothes	**
Detergent #2	Super Easy	It works good, but I hate to have to add it in the washer (I have to do it during the rinse cycle.)	***
Dishwasher Soap	Moderately easy. I add all ingredients and leave in a bowl on the counter for a few days. I stopped to stir periodically as the Lemi-Shine makes it clump if not.	FABULOUS: I made 160 pre measured bag for my dishwasher. Easy and dishes come out with NO water spots.	*****

Again this is not the exact recipes or pricing just how it worked for me.  If you would like the information before I post e-mail me @ tcschneiter@yahoo.com .
