I used the recipe below, and egads......did it make a huge amount.......
Am wondering if I made it correctly, I didnt have a 2 gallon bucket, so I used my bucket that I use to wash the floors, I measured two gallons, and marked it. then when I dumped the solution in there, I just added water to the line. Well, Hiyleria..... now what do I do with it? how am I going to store it???
about the consistency: it looks like I took about 10 jelly fish (maybe more) and squished them thru my fingers (use to do this as a kid....) is it supposed to look like that? or what?????
I did try it, however, you know how it says to wait 24 hours, I didnt....I washed two loads of towels right of the bat, and they seem fine......
i have one milk jug that I washed out, am going to pour some of it in there, and am waiting for another to become available for the balance. but...even with a funnell...how am I going to get the jelly fish into the jug???
