Washing soda is sodium carbonate, baking soda is sodium bicarbonate

Baking soda is sodium hydrocarbonate.

Been using a set of wool dryer balls from Trader Joe's for years. Haven't had to use fabric softener at all.

How expensive do people think fabric softener is lol. I don't use it because I don't care for it, but not buying it because you're too poor sounds wild.

I use soap nuts for washing and vinegar as the softener. It comes out perfectly clean but has a neutral smell (which might smell weird when you first start doing this). I sometimes add a tiny bit of store bought softener to the vinegar for stuff like more expensive hoodies and tshirts.
