Someone at work recently told me that she puts a tablespoon of baking soda into every load of laundry together with detergent. She said it thelps keep dark clothes from fading and cleans out clothing better, especially sweat or oil stains. She also said it helps sprevent the washer from getting a gucky smell.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Is there anything to wiry about like will it bleach clothing or cause holes.
