No matter which detergent you choose, you can boost its cleaning and deodorizing power by adding ARM& HAMMER™ Baking Soda. How? Chemistry! When paired with your laundry detergent,ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda uses the power of pure sodium bicarbonate — a natural occurring substance — to:
- Neutralize odours by balancing pH levels, and
- Soften wash water, so you can use less detergent or bleach— and make it more effective
