Notes
This type of detergent relies on soap as the main cleaning ingredient, with washing soda and baking soda helping with odors and general cleaning.
It’s normal for results to vary depending on your water and how you use it.
Washing soda can be irritating to the skin, so you may want to use gloves when handling large amounts.
