This is an effective, low-sudsing detergent safe to use in high-efficiency (HE) washing machines. A chemist at Tech taught me how to make this. I've used this same recipe for years and I prefer it to anything store-bought. There are no softeners added, so your clothes will not accumulate the softener film buildup. The BLUE CATERPILLAR scent is complex and mysterious with hints of hyacinth, blue lilies, and patchouli. It reminds me of the caterpillar in 'Alice in Wonderland.' I love it! Your detergent will come in a clean, recycled gallon container.

FRAGRANCE STORY: This fragrance is a blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary inspired by a very famous story from medieval France. The Bubonic Plague ("Black Death") was rampant in Europe during the early 1300s with many subsequent outbreaks. Many people died, and many people were out of work. Four men who had been employed as perfume and spice merchants were desperate for money, so they turned to thievery from victims who had died from the Plague. The thieves were eventually caught and taken to trial, and the judge was intrigued as to how the men managed to keep from catching the disease. The men allegedly said they had concocted a specific botanical oil blend in vinegar and applied it to their hands, feet, temples, ears, and on the masks they wore over their mouths. The judge had promised he would not have the men burned alive for their crimes, as was the punishment at that time, so he instead had them hanged. Allegedly, medical doctors heard the story and started to use this same botanical oil and vinegar blend packed with herbs and spices in the hollow bird-beak masks they wore during home visits to keep from catching the Plague. THIS STORY IS TRUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE BUT ESSENTIAL OILS WILL *NOT* PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 (coronavirus.) The Bubonic Plague was caused by a bacterium that could be spread by fleas hopping from one person to the next (the bacterium could be transmitted by flea bites), whereas COVID-19 is a respiratory virus spread primarily from body fluid droplets when a person sneezes or coughs too close to you. This story should be considered as folklore and not as medical advice. But, this is a great laundry detergent!
