BTW I don't have any ingredients like borax or glycerin, and I don't know what washing soda is so I don't know whether I have it!! I do have bar soap, baking soda, and vinegar, though the BumGenius directions say not to use vinegar... I don't understand why, and I've written but not heard back.

I know your post is pretty old, but I've been looking through the stickies this morning and saw your post and was wondering how things turned out.

Did you make your own detergent or did you find a store-bought type that worked better than what you were using?

And did you ever find out why the BumGenius directions said not to use vinegar?
