I used this recipe on our walls, with a little Murphy’s Oil Soap added, and it did an excellent job of cleaning off the yellow smoke gunk. Wipe it on and let it set a minute or two, then I used some rinse water (although if you don’t smoke, you don’t really need to rinse) for best results!

1 gallon water, mixed with
1 cup ammonia
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup baking soda

Laundry Detergent Ingredients

Good Sudless Laundry Detergent

Ingredients:
5 gallon bucket - I use the big bucket that came filled with cat litter
1 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated
1 cup Arm & Hammer washing soda (NOT baking soda)
1/2 cup borax
1 large pan
1 big spoon

Directions:
Put 4 cups water into pan and warm on the stove until its almost boiling. While it is warming, grate the soap and add to the water. Cook soap and water (but not boiling) until the soap is melted.

Put 3 gallons of hot water into the 5 gallon bucket. Then mix in the hot soapy water and stir for awhile. Add washing soda, keep stirring, add borax and stir a few minutes.

Let mixture sit overnight to cool. It should get gelatinous and will be a nice lemony color.

Use one cupful per load of laundry.

Notes:
I use the warmest water possible to wash in order to be sure the soap is dissolved and to get clothes the cleanest. This works very well on whites and light colors especially. On very dark colors, I dissolve the soap in hot water first, and then fill tub with warm to cool water.

It is a good idea to stir the soap in the big bucket before using.

This soap makes no suds at all in the wash, so don’t even look for them!

I add 1/4 cup of vinegar to a second rinse because some of us have sensitive skin and I wan’t to be sure to get all the soap out.

Yogurt Ingredients:

4 cups milk, plus 1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk
2 tablespoons plain store bought yogurt

Directions:
Let the store bought yogurt sit at room temperature while -
warm the milk to 180 degrees and let cool to 110 degrees. Stir frequently while warming so it doesn’t scorch.
Stir a little of the 110 degree milk into the store bought yogurt, and then add that mix to the rest of the milk.
Set in a bowl, cover with a towel, and place in a warm spot undisturbed for 12 hours. Chill.

This recipe will make 1 quart of yogurt, I keep it in an old large yogurt container, it fits perfect.

Notes:
I like to make my yogurt at 8pm, set it in the gas oven and take it out at 8am.

You can make yogurt with all non-fat powdered milk, but it may be thin. You can do this to thicken it up a bit:
Pour yogurt into a plain, clean, flour sack type towel and strain it for awhile over a large bowl. This will take out the excess moisture. Also, if you let it strain for a longer time, you have yogurt cheese, which is like cream cheese.

The yogurt you have made is plain, unsweetened yogurt. You can keep 2 tablespoons aside (frozen) for your next batch, but everything I read said to get some fresh store bought every few recipes. You can add some sweetening and vanilla to it if you like. Add fruits and/or granola and enjoy!
