Typically this Fels-Naptha is $0.97 or $1.07 per bar but it is sold out basically in my entite state (NY). People are reselling it online for nearly $7 per 5oz bar. What the fuck is going on, did they discontinue or something?

We used to make our own detergent with this recipe minus the ‘oxide clean’ I feel obligated to say it didn’t clean our clothes at all. The effort to pretreat every potential spot and make the solution wasn’t worth the effort. I can get oxi clean at the dollar store. We use a fraction of the directions for tide and add borax. I also use tide with water to pretreat stains, dawn also works well. Felt Naptha has been very unremarkable. Go out at try it. But I guarantee you won’t love it.
I've never heard of "oxide clean" before and you're not really "obligated" to say anything at all, especially when the response was not meant for you, but a reply to a request from u/CasuallyObservant for the recipe I use. IMHO, the basic recipe is better than Tide in getting clothes clean. I've used this for over 20 years. It's non-toxic and completely natural too. Depending on the soap I use, I'll add some tea tree oil or another aromatic organic oil to the mix. With the oxine solution, it's at least 10 times better than Tide. The whole idea is to experiment with the basic recipe and to develop your own fine tuned recipe. Per the cost comparison to Tide and OxiClean, it's amounts a few pennies compared to more than a dollars per load. I always say to those who sow a different path, "Go for it", but don't impede on someone else's reply to a request. It may have the appearance of poor behavior.
Are you always this much of a drag or are you menstruating?
