I have tried it before.  It is very cost effective but it wasnt very good about getting out regular stains (the kind you dont really have to pre-treat).  The clothes didnt smell really good nor did they feel soft.  I then tried the fabric softner recipe where you mix hair conditioner, water, and small amount of vinegar.  That didnt work out well at all....so I just used my coupons and purchase my detergent and fabric softner as it comes on sale.

My sister and her husband just started doing this so I was a little interested in trying it out for myself. Even if I used some of the homemade detergent and a little of the store-bought for the scent etc. it'd still be worth it to save all that money on detergents.
