@ludwigsdiana @30pics4jackiesdiamond me neither - just heard about it recently and have been giving it a go.

[Merrelyn]

That's a new one on me too. How much bicarb do you use?

[Desi]

Oh really? I previously read you were supposed to add vinegar to the wash water? New one for me that Bicarb is the go-to ingredient

[narayani]

@merrelyn about 2 teaspoons to a litre
@seacreature vinegar was tested too but bicarb came out better

[Desi]

@narayani Wow, thanks for that. I will try it.

[BeckyJo]

I never knew that! That’s really great to know, especially for the little ones.
