Homemade laundry detergent/washer ?
So I've been using homemade for a a couple of years now. There is a film developing any tips how to reduce to get rid of this?

Re: Homemade laundry detergent/washer ?
I'm not an expert by any means but when I had a similar issue it said to add citric acid to the mix. One person had even commented that she added lemonaide kool-aid.
(I never tried it, I just ended up using seventh generation)

Did you try putting vinegar in the rinse cycle?
I put vinegar in a Downy ball and throw it in the wash. The vinegar removes soap residue and helps keep my clothes soft.

Do you have a front loader? I do the downy ball with vinegar too, but someone was saying how FL washers opened up the ball before it was time. I was just wondering what your experience with this is.
You could try running a rinse cycle with just vinegar. I've never done it but it should remove any detergent residue in your machine.
No, I have an older, top loading washing machine.

Sorry for whatever reason I read it as dishwasher not laundry, (which you clearly had in the subject).
It was dishwasher that I read to add the citric acid. I also put vinegar in my downy ball. I wonder if your mix is off. I use 1 cup borax, 1 cup oxy clean, 1 bar soap and 1 cup washing soda. then 1-2 tablespoons per load. I've never had a film though.
Weird.
