Or you can just buy washing soda. In some countries it's called soda crystals. Or you can buy the less hydrated form (same as you'd get from baking baking soda) as soda ash from a pool maintenance dealer.I fund you can bake baking soda in the oven which converts it into washing soda and that you can use this instead of borax so I'll try that.

The only way the washing machine would get hot enough to convert bicarbonate to carbonate is if it's one of those machines with heating elements as have been used in the recent past in the UK and some other countries. The reason we know they convert bicarbonate to carbonate (albeit slowly) is that they develop boiler scale.Is this even needed? Baking soda is also washing well. Also you have some heat in the washing machine (is it enough to convert?)
Not unless the bleach is an acid!you can make boric acid with borax if it gets mixed with bleach,
