However I chose to include baking soda instead because it is not as harsh. Washing soda is more alkaline, with a pH of 11, and Baking soda has a pH of 8, near neutral. You can use washing soda for tougher stains as long as the clothes are not delicate. Thanks for the question! Sabine,

Washing soda is what I have found in most of the Oxi-clean recipes I have found. I was curious about the baking soda…are you sure that the recipe is not supposed to be Washing soda?!
