OK just some news for you guys and girls out there doing laundry. I have found that Cold Storage is selling Arm and Hammer brand Washing Soda. It is kind expensive at 5.35/box (1.5kg) Mustafa is selling this Brit brand called Soda Crystals washing soda. Cheaper at 1.80/kg What the hell is it? Washing soda is Sodium Carbonate. It is a cleaning booster. I'll explain. The most widely available cleaning booster now is sodium bicarbonate. Cold Storage and now even NTUC sells Arm and Hammer sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When sodium bicarbonate is dissolved in water, the pH is around 8. You can use this directly into your washing machine. It can clean out a lot of stuff and even remove detergent buildup. This is layer 1 offensive. Now if you got some cheap bad perfume that you cannot remove from with your laundry detergent, you use baking soda. Cannot remove but don't want to use bleach? Washing soda. When washing soda is dissolved into water, it gives pH 11! Powerful stuff. Deoderizes everything. Layer 2. Since it is pH 11, it is caustic so wash your hands thoroughly if you got some on your skin. Save your money buying those stupid color bleach. Use washing soda.
