In preparation to change to BBB, I went shopping for the green box of 20 mule team borax (used to raise ph, Right ???) Was thinking it should say Sodium Carbonate on it. I picked it up and looked at the box, it says sodium tetraborate decahydrate. Is that the same thing ?
Then down the shelf a bit sits a box of Super Washing Soda and the ingredient listed Is Sodium Carbonate. It's a yellow box made by Arm and Hammer.
(Not to be confused with Arm and Hammer BAKING Soda which is of course sodium BICarbonate)
So I'm not sure which to use--the box that says it's Sodium Carbonate or the Borax that I thought was and isn't really.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new and will undoubtedly have many more before I get it all figured out.
