HEB, Target, Albertson's, Walmart all come to mind.

Buy it for cheaper at the pool supply store. Sodium carbonate.

Thanks, I did check HEB, Albertson's & Walmart and they didn't have it. I did not realize I might be able to find it at a pool supply store. I'll check there next.

Actually it's Sodium Bicarbonate (aka baking soda) which is an alkaline (base).

Nope, sorry. Sodium bicarb is not washing soda.

Google is your friend.

Can I use Super Washing Soda in an HE washing machine?

Super Washing Soda is 100% sodium carbonate, so there should be no issues with adding it to an HE machine. However, it is suggested to start with 1/4 to 1/3 of the recommended dose because the HE machines use much less water.

Kinda leery about this stuff, as A&H toothpaste caused a rash under my mouth. Guess there's more tolerance for laundry, though.
