Hard
Water:
For hard water conditions, add 1 cup of Super Washing Soda along
with the usual amount of either liquid or powder detergent at the
beginning of the wash cycle. 
Tough Stains:
Super Washing Soda adds extra cleaning and freshening power to your
detergent. Stains and greasy soils sometimes need special handling.
Often a routine machine wash will just not be enough to remedy
stubborn problems. The most effective way to remove stains is to
begin treatment as soon as possible. Although some stains may be
impossible to remove, a pre-treatment or pre-soak with Super Washing
Soda is often very helpful – especially for removing greasy stains
and embedded dirt from synthetics and cottons.
To Pre-treat:
Make a paste of 4 tablespoons Super Washing Soda and ¼ cup warm
water. Using rubber gloves, gently rub paste into dampened stain and
wash as usual. When laundering, add ½ cup of Super Washing Soda in
addition to your usual detergent. Always test a small, hidden area
of fabric to determine colorfastness before pre-treating.
To Pre-soak:
Pre-soak laundry in warm water (use cool water for non-colorfast
items as well as for blood and egg stains). Use 2 tablespoons of
Super Washing Soda per gallon of warm water if pre-soaking in a
small tub, or use ½ cup if pre-soaking in a filled washing machine.
Pre-soak for at least 30 minutes before washing. Wash with ½ cup of
Super Washing Soda in the wash cycle, in addition to your usual
detergent.
