Thanks for the kind words. Now I never said I was right about my
approach, merely describing it. But let add what may have not been so
clear the first time. I use an entire small box of baking soda to
wash the clothes. I don't put the vinegar in till the final rinse.
If that is bad for some reason I'd appreciate it if you'd let me
know. I'm not against changing my method if there's something wrong
with it. I do know though that the number one cleaning ingredient in
the wash is the water, no doubt about that.
