LOL! It only costs pennies if you buy it from the laundry shelf! And you
don`t need a swimming pool sack of it - unless you have a treasure house
full of jewellery!!! Thanks for sorting out what it`s called over there,
Maureen.

This silly Canadian knows! Washing soda is Borax. If you want to get
it really cheap, go to a swimming pool place. One of those places that
sells chemicals for swimming pools. They have what they call 'pool
soda' It's to same thing at a fraction of the cost. )

Yes that`s right - aluminium foil, as we call it. The stuff that
comes in
rolls, for wrapping the turkey in, etc! Just scrunch it up a bit, and
put it
in a bowl. Large handful of washing soda, boiling water to cover and
watch
it fizz! Looks quite scary, but it`s fine.

Next question from a silly American:
What's "washing soda"?
