[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Jennifer Jackson]

I use a powdered detergent. I would love to use a home made soap, but I live
in a city with really hard water. I also have kids that are extra hard on
clothes and even with using Tide I am routinely having to throw items away
that are stained beyond saving. I would be interested in you sharing your
results with us.

Thanks Jennifer, so how do YOU measure your soap?
I've used those bottles with the sprockets on them and they tend to leak, so

I don't like them.
