A little bit about Washing Soda and how it will Remove Stubborn Stains
Washing soda (Sodium Carbonate) is a low allergy, easily dissolved, biodegradable natural product. It’s an inexpensive way to soften your water. It is a natural fabric softener, suitable for use on cotton and wool, and lifts out grease and perspiration. It is often used commercially in laundry and cleaning products.

Removing Toxins from the home
If you or a family member has issues with skin irritation, or experiences breathing difficulties, these may be due to synthetic fragrances or chemicals in the products you are using. Reducing your exposure to these harmful substances doesn’t need to be overwhelming, nor complicated. Simply swapping the commercially produced products for more natural options is not only better for your health – but it also saves you so much money!
