Marnie's Detergent




Marnie uses this eco-friendly, safe and VERY effective detergent based on discussions with her mom and research on the Internet. We have a Splendide 2100 Washer/Dryer and this works great in it.





     Laundry Detergent


     6 bars Fels Naptha soap (grated)
     3 cups Arm & Hammer Washing Powder
     3 cups Borax


Mix together and store in whatever size container you'd like. It lasts a long time and costs less than $0.50 a load!

Use 2 tblsp per load. Can use 3 tblsp for heavy soiled loads. You won't even need fabric softener with this. Even though Splendides don't recommend the use of powders, don't worry. It all dissolves without a problem. You can also liquify this by mixing it with water prior to using. The soap will not get sudsy but doesn't need to. It cleans GREAT!

Good luck!


Splendide 2100 Handle Broken?


If the manufacturer is going to lock me out of something, they had better make it out of something more substantial than a flimsy piece of plastic. They must make a fortune out of selling these handles.

I didn't find a lot of information on the forums but a Google search for "splendide door handle" yielded the following information:
