We use about a 1:3 ratio -- one box of "real" detergent, and 3 boxes worth of our own. It works perfectly. (It's funny that you mentioned tasting the baking soda -- I can totally taste the nasty perfume in Cascade! It's much more manageable when it's diluted in my own mix. ) Our glasses were all spotty when we made our own detergent, so on a whim we tried a compromise that turned out great — we mix our homemade stuff with a box of name-brand stuff.

I was going to try something similar this coming weekend, but you saved me that trouble! & don't worry about it costing you "extra" this time: Now you know, and the only real cost was the electricity to run your washing machine, not much really. Oh, and time. :P Now you know, that that thought won't be running in the back of your head, "Is this really worth paying for?" Well thanks for testing that for us!
