Interesting. I’ll look in the hardware section in Walmart.
Tax-chick, I do laundry using less detergent - I use detergent without any fragrances (shudder) - and add a small scoop of borax, and then add about 1/4 or 1/3 cup white vinegar to the rinse, especially for things like towels.
Also for all kitchen towels and dish cloths - I don’t use sponges - and washcloths (you wouldn’t believe how many of those I go through) I soak in hot water and Sun cleaner - the cheapie generic Oxyclean, in very hot water, until it’s cooled to lukewarm, about 4 hours.
I don’t know if I’d use TSP because we have a well and septic and some things get in the ground water.
Hanging clothes up makes them smell nice, too.
Wal-Mart does not carry it. Home Depot does....4.5 lb box for $9.96.
See related thread——post 22 has a picture of the box that you are looking for. You have to look up to see it—it is not at eye level. You will find it in the paint dept
