Also dont be afraid to please ELI5 it cause Im a bit ‘slow’ sorry ans thanks. Also I wont be wearimg ANY fabric other than cotton or wool so there isnt any need to worry about other fabrics here.
Is cleaning wool clothing in baby shampoo a long-term solution? What should I be concerned about in the long term? Im only doing this long term cause I was tolf that baby shampoo is a cheaper ‘detergent’ than those other wool wash products like Eucalan and Soak Inc. So leave any notes about that if you know anything about it please.
What do yall think anout this detergent here? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5qNWa9By9EY Is it cheaper than store brand detergents that clean cotton safely? Is it cheaper than typical store brand detergents that clean wool safely? Does borax or washing soda have enzymes in it or am I crazy? Or is the baby shampoo solution better ? Edit: Also Ive found this about long term usagw of homemade detergents https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VKeNjdgiwfo&pp=ygUaYm9yYXggYXMgbGF1bmRyeSBkZXRlcmdlbnTSBwkJOQwBhyohjO8%3D
Also where in god’s blue Earth does one even find ‘washing soda’ ? I dont think Ive ever seen that at the store, only baking soda. I live in canada as a side note so …
Is borax actually anti fungal ? Like is it anti mildew anti fungal? Can borax be use d alone as a detergent and what are the downsides of choosing to do this ?
Thanks.
Edit : Sorry I should have beeen more specific. All Im trying to do is find out 2 things:
- What is the world’s cheapest methood to clean wool baselayer clothing that wont slowly destroy the clothing ? (and as wee all know about 90% or more of all detergennts have wool destroying enzymes in them) Should I just make a homemade detergent for the wool? Doesnt borax destroy wool clothing cause the pH of it is too high?
and
- does cleaning cotton clothing with certain things like borax or washing soda make it almost timpossible for mildew to start growing on and in them during the drying process?


Washing soda is usually found near laundry detergent since it’s most common use is a laundry additive. If you can’t find it there you can maybe find it near cleaning supplies.
To add to this comment,
In Canada you can find Arm and hammer washing soda at Canadian Tire, London Drugs, Home Hardware, and Walmart if you have any of those near you.
