So, I've been using the homemade laundry detergent for a month now and am happy with the results. It seems to clean just as well as the store bought detergent I was using. I have been mixing it up in 1/2 batches and putting it in old milk jugs. That way it is easy to pour.
Also, in that time I have run out of liquid fabric softener, but I read you can use a half cup of vinegar in your fabric softener ball instead. It sounds like everything would come out smelling like vinegar, but it doesn't. Neither does it smell perfumed though, just clean.
Another tip I found is to throw a safety pin into the dryer with your clothes, which reduces static. Crazy, but it worked!!

i'll have to try that vinegar stuff. the other fabric softener makes both mark and katelyn itchy, wo we just don't use anything! it would be nice to have something to use! i'll go out and get me a little ball thing this week! oh, is it just regular distilled vinegar?
Yes, just regular old vinegar that I buy in the big jug.
Just be careful - vinegar can be VERY hard on the fibers in you clothes and you might end up having your "new" fabric softener eating up your clothes.
