I was just wondering this too, how much baking soda would you use for a large load? Do you add it in the beginning of the wash?

Baking soda is almost the cure-all for everything. It works great on floors-tough stains,stainless steel,vinyl, the list goes on.But it's mate is viniger. It works great in the wash too! Underarm stains or just to prevent them. Use a spray bottle and viole!

What is the company name and website? I am very interested also. thanks

Absolutely, there are several alternatives from different companies. I can also turn you on to a green company that has been around for over 20 years and they have all eco-friendly personal and home care products that cost less and are shipped directly to your door. (cost less even with shipping, and no gas to drive to the store)

I have been using baking soda even in place of bleach.. also simple green is great . I mix up differnet strengths in spray bottles and ready to go.....MAj

I can direct you to a "green" company that deals with home care products using no chemicals and is much healthier for you and your family.

Free and Clear, Laundress, Ecover and Seventh Generation all make organic softeners for laundry. You can also add a half cup of vinegar to the rinse water when you wash. I've heard baking soda also works well.
