Further to my comments about the cost of sodium suphite here, I have found a cheaper "technical" grade. It is much cheaper. The question still remains. Is the bicarbonate worth using in wash water? Or a little sodium sulphite instead (now that the prices are close)? ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
