Quite by accident I discovered if you unwrap the Fels Naptha soap for a few weeks, it is SO much easier to grate and is finer instead of clumpy. If I'm out of Purex Crystals, I add a few drops of essential oils for a nice scent. I get these at a local candle shop.roachbunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180508648697784012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550777970033501708.post-67067906716820798262013-07-27T21:34:00.859-07:002013-07-27T21:34:00.859-07:00How does it smell?

It allows it to more evenly be mixed together. You may also try to add a cup of Oxy Clean.
