". . . washing soda will consume two equivalents of acid, while baking soda will only consume one equivalent."Washing Soda is caustic/alkaline with a pH of 11 (with 7 being neutral). Though it does not give off harmful fumes, you do still need to use/wear gloves when handling it directly.Baking Soda is only slightly alkaline with a pH around 8.1 (again, 7 being neutral).
Soda ash (sodium carbonate), sold as pH Increaser, pH UP or Arm & Hammer Washing soda, will do the trick. You can also use borax, sold as 20 Mule Team Borax.
Washing soap has more of caustic soda in it, to take up the dirt at higher pH. However bathing soap has either less or zero soda, to avoid skin irritation
