Arm & Hammer does make a Washing Soda that is sodium carbonate. If you
call the 1-800 on any of their boxes they can tell you the locations
in your zip code who stock the Washing Soda.


Actually, the 3 remaining supermarkets in my touristed-up neighborhood still carry "washing soda" in the laundry section and my husband buys it to actually put in the wash, on the theory that it's a booster for laundry soap.

I haven't done a variables test.
