Washing Soda

I am confused and may have missed some of the postings,

I thought Washing Soda was Baking Soda

I have been making my own laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent with

Baking Soda, Borax and for the laundry detergent I add a bar of ivory soap shaved.

It has been working well, for me so far, and it is not very expensive.

What is the difference between the Baking Soda and Washing soda?

there will be at least 1 store in area that does carry it; only 1 that i know of in local area does; call around to see who does carry it in your area; if literally no one does, ask them for it or check on line I am sure you can order it; however, in the entire area that I live in only 1 store DOES carry it; & I found out by asking on line who did in local chat forum. — On Tue, 7/1/08, acarberry80 wrote: From: acarberry80 Subject: Budget101.com : washing soda To: Budget101_@yahoogro ups.com Date: Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 8:36 AM I am unable to find washing soda around where I live, is it ok if i just wash my clothes with the borax?
