I got this recipe from a self sufficient class at church. Have been using it this year and it is really wonderful. I do not need to buy softener either or use bleach. It gets the clothes very clean and makes them nice smelling..

    The brand name for the washing soda is BAKING SODA WASHING SODA. Do not confuse with just baking soda that we all use for cooking, this is different..will find all three ingredients in the laundry detergent isle...
