what do you store your cd detergent in?  I make my own but it gets moisture in it and clumps up after a while...I would like to try your recipe but that's alot to have sitting there and I don't want it to all harden up on me and me not be able to use it.  any suggestions? 

TIA!

I've had the same batch since October and it's just now starting to do that too me.  I leave it uncovered though.  I think when I make my next batch I'll keep it stored in something w/ a lid and just keep out a quart or so at a time.  I make huge batches though.

BTW, when mine just started to clump, I just used a letter openener to break it back up.  No biggie   A butter knife or screwdriver would do the trick too.

I'm almost done w/ mine too.  I just need to make a new batch.  I keep forgetting to buy the ingredients.

Try a food grade 5 gallon bucket.  You can get them free from bakeries at grocery stores and Wal-Mart.  Sometimes you have to call a couple of times because they say that they reuse them (and they do for a while), but they don't keep ALL of them!!  It's what their icing comes in.  Ask for the lid, too.  The lid is a PITB to get on and off, but you can buy screw on lids online for about $5 I think.  I'll try to find the link.  That's what I make my double batch of liquid laundry detergent in.  Good luck!!  HTH!!

ok.  maybe I should leave mine inside the house......I live in FL and the humidity is horrendous so maybe that's what's happening (it clumps pretty quickly).  do you use yours on your laundry too or just cds?

I just use it on my CDs.  I use to add Fels Naptha to half of the mix, but I broke my food processor and haven't had the funds to sink into a new one.

Once it ran out, I bought Tide (w/out the dyes, etc.)
