Borax
A laundry booster in powder form, and the first of the four things I buy instead of detergent.
Castile soap, unscented
The fourth. Unscented, so the laundry comes out smelling like nothing at all.
The rest of the house
Same idea as the food. Read the label, buy the shorter list, and keep the one that works.
