Laundry Powder Recipe Without Washing Soda

RE: Laundry Powder Recipe Without Washing Soda By (Guest Post) You can just use the bar soap grated. It will work just fine, but the borax and washing soda are whiteners and help with some stain removal.

Take the amount of needed baking soda spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for half an hour. If anyone else has tried this please let us know, thanks.

I used Borax, and it works great just make sure you are careful if you have children and/or pets.

It is the same chemical as "PH up" Posted on 10/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Laundry Powder Recipe Without Washing Soda By girlofthehour (1) Contact Hi Anna, No, washing soda and borax are two different chemical compounds: Washing soda is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, and borax is a salt of boric acid. Borax is also toxic, while washing soda is not (though if you're cleaning with it, it's best to use gloves since it can be hard on skin). I am going to make a sample, but I thought I'd see whether anyone had any tried-and-true suggestions.

I have no recipe, but I'd say why don't you make a small batch and test it? I'm sure it will work to some extent, if not perfectly fine. Remember, our grandmas washed their laundry with nothing but lye and soap! Posted on 10/28/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
