Success

Yeah! Dorkboy came back, not only with Borax (FINALLY, he found a place that sells it!), but with Tartaric Acid, and soapnuts, as well as soapnut oil and apricot kernel oil! I'm very happy now. So happy that I could start some potions off right now. Luckily, my cauldron is at the new place and I'm still here where the phone line is. In any case, the borax will remove any stains in the laundry that the baking soda didn't manage. It will also clean our hair much better than shampoo. As will the soapnut juice that's already brewing in the kitchen. I'm off to soak laundry now *grin*.
