How to get clothes smelling good with hard water?


I have well water here in Florida, 6 years ago i purchased a airator (sp) to contain the sulfur smell, thats ok, then 2 years ago i got a water softner cause they said it will make us soap up better and smell yadda yadda.

Well now my clothes dont smell like they have been washed i use tide and downey and it still smells, is it the type of salt pellets i use? is there something else its horrible, and when i wash clothes i get no suds, i will change my salt if thats what it is

I have hard water and what I do is add a cup of white vinagar to each load of laundry. You would think your clothes will smell of salad but when the wash is done you have no smell. Vinagar will also help soften your clothes and keep your whites whiter and help keep your washer white as well. Everyone with hard water knows that over time the hard water plays a number on your washer. If your not getting any suds, mabe your washer is clogged or off balanced and holding in old water causing the smell. I did laundry when my water softner was broke so I wouldn't think that would be your problem. Hope that helps.

What are some Good Soaps to Usefor Oily Skin?

If you discover that you have oily skin, you may want to look into using a different facial soap. There are many types of facial soap on the market and many are especially for oily skin.

Allouette has a clarifying facial wash that is good to use if you have oily skin. This facial wash is made for a person with oily skin, especially skin that is affected by acne. This facial wash is good for the cleansing of pores so those pools of oil do not from your face. It will also treat things such as blackheads and whiteheads that appear with the advent of oily skin. You can lift the dirt and oil out of your skin and the facial wash will also hydrate the dermal layer on your skin. The dirt is removed with both Alpha and Beta hydroxides, as they will gently remove dirty and oily skin cells and will not damage the underneath layers of skin.

If you are looking for a natural soap than Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Complexion Soap for Oily Skin is just what you are looking for. This soap is made from natural ingredients, foremost being tomatoes. Tomatoes are a natural source of both AHA'a and lipocene. Both of these chemicals can help balance your pH level in your skin. This soap also has a toning effect and help with large pores. This is one of the better products to use for oily skin if you are wary about too many chemicals in your soaps.
One of the more trusted names in cleansing products is Neutrogena. Their Dermatological Bar Soap has hypoallergenic properties. This is a good aspect of the soap, especially for people that have sensitive skin. The Dermatological Bar Soap is one of the more popular products with consumers as it really works in clearing pores and helping people with oily skin. There are many unnatural chemicals in this bar soap and if you are wary of that try another cleanser.

L'Oreal has a great answer for oily skin with their HydraFresh Gel Cleanser. This cleanser is great to use with many types of skin conditions, especially oily skin. There are no irritating effects with this cleanser and it is great at clearing your pores. The one main drawback is that if you want the maximum effect you have to purchase other L'Oreal products. This can get expensive but L'Oreal's products do work if you have oily skin.

The Clinique Derma White Purifying Bar is another option to get rid of oily skin and is one of the more gentle facial cleansers. This soap is great for both oily skin as well as combination skin. Clinique is also one of the most trusted brands when it comes to skin care. This soap will remove dirt and oil from your skin and also moisturize your skin. It will give you a clean and clear complexion and also make your skin healthier.

There are also other natural remedies you can take if you want to combat oily skin. One of the main natural remedies that many physicians recommend is a mudpack. Mudpacks will draw out skin impurities and oil leaving you with healthier skin. You can feel a good mudpack working as your skin will feel great afterwards. The darker the mudpack is the better it will be at drawing out the oils in your skin.

Whatever you use to get rid of oily skin, make sure that afterwards you keep cleansing your skin so it does not return. If you are still having problems with oily skin after using products such as these, you should consult a physician.

Soap Making Kit

by Melissa Marzolf from Buffalo, NY on 2009-01-30
This is a great product if you are expecting a Melt & Pour style kit. It is nicely packed with everything you need. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the product description and was expecting an actaul soap making kit, to the likes of sodium hydroxide,vegetable fats, oils,etc., not Melt & Pour.

"Pretty lame, Dad..."

by Doggymcnuggets from Bedford, IN USA on 2010-02-02
Got this for my son's 5th birthday, and thank goodness it wasn't the only gift we got him - it is simply horrible! The box deceptively shows a kid playing with the stuff in the bath but fails to warn that the "mold 'n play" soap can't get wet and isn't suitable for bath time. Seriously, it's only once you open the box & bother to read the instructions that you find repeated references to using the soap DRY. Either way, it isn't malleable wet or dry. But come on, it's soap! And the kid on the box playing in the bath?!?! Save yourself the trouble & expense and buy a few bars of Dial soap, let them sit in water for a few days until they begin to dissolve, & give the resulting melty globs to your kids as toys. My 5 year old said it best: "This isn't as fun as it looked...pretty lame, Dad..."


Waste of money!

by H. White from on 2009-12-19
My daughter got this as a gift, and she couldn't wait to take a bath and play with it. It was very disappointing. The soap is so stiff and hard when it's dry, that no small child would be able to roll it out, or mold it. When it's wet, it is impossibly sticky and slippery. You can't do anything with it, but except make a huge mess, until it dissolves in the tub. We were left with some new to play-doh tools....and alot of sticky gunk in the bottom of the tub. It's a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!! AWFUL!!!


Great... until it gets wet?

by K. Walgrave from southwest Minnesota on 2009-02-27
This product is utterly terrible. The only way to actually mold the soap or play with the tools is to make sure the soap is not in the least bit wet. Great product if you want to have your children play with the SOAP in a dry tub. But wait! That would be just like play doh then wouldn't it? As soon as this "moldable" soap gets wet it becomes a big slimy and sticky mess. You can't do anything other than try and scrape it off your hands, your children, the toys, and the tub. Oh yeah, and it sinks to the bottom and gets stuck - then proceeds to STAIN the tub. Okay, so being unable to bring myself to actually throw away the crappy soap I think maybe I'll just use it. It doesn't lather - not in the least. And did I mention that it's slimy and sticky? All in all, it's a terrible product. You and your children would probably be happier using Play Doh in the bathtub.


Waste of money!

by C. Allen from on 2009-02-17
Do not waste your money on this! My kids were sooo dissappointed! As the other reviews said, the stuff gets mushy and unusable as soon as it gets wet. Not what the commercial implied!!


Soap cannot be molded-Waste of Money

by Amy Lamanuzzi from New Hampshire on 2009-01-27
The soap was so hard it could NOT be "molded" into anything. Once the soap gets wet it turns into mush. All the pieces of this ended up in the garbage. Total waste of money. I do NOT recommend this kit. I wish I had read the reviews before I made this purchase. Lesson Learned.
