We are on bore water, not on town supply. And it is fine for the laundry liquid honestly! If you should decide to give it a go, then just email me & I will send you the recipe (only 3 ingredients). Also wanted to tell you that my dishcloths are knitted ... I cannot crochet at ALL, that is why I send them to my friend to crochet the edgings for me. The plain knitted ones seem to knit up really quickly even though I am a VERY slow knitter.
