Re: Detergent enzyme problems -Gil

[Guest guest]

Hi Gil,

The Environmental Clinic in Dallas only allows

washing in their temporary facilities there to be

with baking soda. You would be amazed at how

well baking soda does alone at laundry. It makes

water super soft and the water and baking soda is

all you need, except for occasional stain, then

you can use a variety of thing. A small amount

of enzymatic liquid like Era just on the spot

before washing, and then after it has soaked

awhile, throw in with rest of wash. I've been

using baking soda only for a couple of years now

and everything turns out wonderfully clean and

fresh. You can get large 10 pound bags of baking

soda at Sam's Club. I haven't looked at Costco.

If anyone else knows a place to get large

containers let me know as this is only place I

have found large sizes.

Sometimes I throw in tiny amount of regular

detergent, for things that are very dirty like

throw rugs, etc. just to a little extra

something, but I think that is all in my mind

since I can't tell the difference.

Having stayed at the ehcd suites by marriott, I can tell you from personal

observation that many patients use non-commercial natural detergents in the

washers and dryers. I saw ecos, granny's, 7th generation, etc. being used. The

EHC foundation even sells the scent free bounce and I had to stop someone from

using those sheets in the dryer. I also stopped someone from using ammonia.

I haven't been there yet but when I was making

arrangements they said they didn't allow anything

but baking soda for laundry. Maybe different

housing. I don't know. Maybe people not

following directions.
