    Question What do you dilute?

    On my lists is:

    - dish soap
    - liquid laundry soap
    - 2% milk (mixed with powder)
    - fruit juices

    What is on your list or do you dilute anything?

    I dilute 100% juice.
    Not really diluting, but I use about half of the laundry soap called for.

    I don't really dilute my laundry soap, but I use about a 1/4 of what they call for. We got a front loaking machine about a year ago after "old faithful" finally gave up the ghost. It works great! Uses much less water (good for us on wells, and everyone in general) and much less soap. If hubby does the laundry, I sometimes have to put them through another rinse. He forgets how much to use. But he does laundry!

    We dilute juices, and iced tea (for the DD's, not as sweet). I also dilute dish soap, and shampoo. I use 1/2 of the necessary laundry soap, and dh only uses a capful of soap when he wsahes the car

    I don't really dilute, just use less than half the called for amount, do dilute juices though...
