it’s been 24 hours and still a thick paste .. I had to add some water to break up the rock hard clump – as I was tipping them in one by one, does anyone know if that would cause it not to dry out??

Washing soda is sodium carbonate (as opposed to BIcarbonate) and it should say “washing soda” or “soda ash” on the box.It can definitely be tricky to find! Maybe call around to pool supply stores, as they use it in the water.

Luck!

Hello! Now, I had a hard time finding “washing soda.” I thought I found it, but it turned out to be a big carton of unidentified “Arm & Hammer” powder. I take it that it is laundry detergent in itself from the instructions. Is this washing soda?? The ingredients are sodium bicarbonate I believe. THANKS!

Just made your laundry soap….it was a lil tricky, I mixed and mixed and the texture stayed the same…paste like, so I let it sit for a while then mixed some more then again let it sit for a couple more hours and mixed some more and I noticed it was drying up. (good sign)..so then I went to a BBQ and when I came back it was dryer so I mixed some more to get the lumps out and then left it overnite…woke up this morning and it was nice and dry…so then I put it thru a sifter and now it is nice and powdery…can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much….I luv your site!

While reading this, I though: Why not make it and pour it into ice cube trays? You could just break one off for each load. I guess I’ll have to try it and see.

@ Kerstin – It pulls endless green juice stains out of my son’s shirts, so I’d say that’s pretty effective! =D

@ Stacey – Hmm, not sure! If you give it a try, will you let us know?
