~gdsunsaver said:Ive heard of people getting the big cheap boxes of generic laundry soap and using it at half the rate of the more expensive dish powders. I'm not sure if they add something to it or not, but soap is soap, right?. Nope ask the soap makers on this site The fat or oil used makes a pretty big difference. BTW I don't remember when I last saw a box of Laundry SOAP (most are detergents) it was either 'ivory snow' or 'octagon'
A lot of times your just paying for packaging. Kerosene is sold at a higher rate and called mineral spirits, and at a higher rate called lamp oil, and at an even higher rate where they call it "charcoal lighter fluid". It's all the same grade of petroleum. Looks, smells, pours, burns the same.
