Water softener.(surfactant?)

I think that’s what the Borax is.

There’s also something called a soap nut that can be used by itself. I guess if you were really interested and lived in the proper climate you could grow your own. You just throw the things in the wash, get several uses out of them and then throw them in the compost pile.

The washing soda is a water softner.
