Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate)

Washing soda = “sodium carbonate”

____________________________
Washing soda is a powerful and non-toxic cleaner and water softener. It has a very high pH (11). The washing soda helps scour and lift dirt from clothes when added to laundry. Can be used with detergent or as a pre-soak. Especially helpful for mineral-based stains like grass and dirt stains.

It also boosts detergent effectiveness by naturally softening the water, allowing soap to concentrate on dirt molecules instead of the natural minerals present in the water.

Made “in-house” by heating baking soda (aka “sodium bicarbonate”) at 425 degrees. By heating thoroughly, we remove one “carbonate” from the “sodium bicarbonate” molecules (converts to carbon dioxide and water vapor while heating)

pH ~11 | Use gloves for heavy-duty cleaning | Avoid on aluminum
Safe for septic systems and a go-to in DIY cleaning blends.

Other uses:
Clean ovens, stovetops, sinks, and bathroom grout
Prepare fabrics for natural dyeing
