purchased online here (at Meijer.com). Baking Soda will not work, nor
will Arm & Hammer Detergent - It must be sodium carbonate!!
•Works well in traditional or HE machines.
•Low sudsing. It is the ingredients in the soap, not the suds, that does the
cleaning.
•Clumping and geling of the detergent is normal. Stir before putting in
