For what its worth here are my 2cents:<br /><br />Grate your soap and then spread it out in a pie pan or on a baking sheet etc to dry at least over night, then use your blade of the food processor to grind it up, you will get a much smaller grainule that way and it will dissolve in your wash easier. The addition of the powdered color safe bleach is a great idea, I've even seen some that use oxiclean in the mix. Good luck,and I love your canning shelves as well!!!<br />Thanks for sharing!!!<br />DanaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510412730791430778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191980962507769015.post-57365904521851656892012-09-15T15:47:34.573-07:002012-09-15T15:47:34.573-07:00I think if you google Singer Sewing Machine and th...I think if you google Singer Sewing Machine and that number on the plate you get info.
