    I buy it on line at Meijers.com, you have to buy it by the case but you can use it as an all purpose cleaner. I use the same recipe and this detergent will clean the dirtest diaper so it is bright and white.
    I buy regular Arm & Hammer Pure baking soda it is for laundry as well. it says so right on the box. The borax soap also at the store, in the laundry section. I use the Fels-Naptha bar soap, it smells so good. You can get that and most grocery stores of dollar stores or MFA. I also add oxy-clean. It makes 5 gallons and for us it lasts about 6 months.

    You can use Washing soda or baking soda

    Baking soda is a mild abrasive and deodorizer so it works.
    and washing soda I dont know what it is but it washes lol.

    I use washing soda, borax, and bar fels soap grated recipe and it works good
