The shampoo should be just a little frothy. I think that soapwort was traditionally used to wash delicate items and I believe it is still used for ancient, delicate fabrics in stately homes.

The soapwort recipe- is the shampoo suppose to be soapy- or is it just suppose to clean. What about washing clothes with this recipe?
