Description

Washing soda is great for bigger messes

Washing soda has been used for centuries as a safe cleaning ally, it is also call Sodium Carbonate. A stronger alkaline cleaner, it's considered the big brother cleaner of baking soda with a step up in cleaning power. It's multipurpose and can be used for extra grease cutting, deodorising and water softening if you have high water minerals.

It's an essential main ingredient in everyday cleaning products like laundry washing where it works with soap for better results. For big cleaning jobs, like cleaning the oven it's extra handy for dissolving built up grime without the need for caustic, stinky oven cleaners!

Washing soda has been used as a cleaner for a long time, therefore it's recognised as non-toxic and is a trusted natural cleaning agent. This is the soda ash dense form of washing soda - it is stronger with more cleaning power compared to washing soda crystals or laundry soda. This means you use less and get better cleaning results.

How to use

How to use washing soda at home

Washing soda is best dissolved in warm to hot water. Typically 20g per litre is a good amount for general cleaning. This can be increase to 40-60g for bigger messes. Considered septic tank and waterway safe.

20g is approximately 1 Tablespoon.

Use in the laundry: Add extra oomph for pre-soaking very dirty clothing like sports gear, tea towels and grotty sneakers. Great for removing odours to the likes of dog bedding.

General cleaning: Add a few tablespoons to a bucket of hot water, this can be used to wipe down all hard surface areas that need a clean up. Think kitchen cabinets, walls, chilly bin & the old caravan. Can be mixed with Castile soap to aid cleaning. If you have sensitive skin you may wish to use gloves for more contact time.

Soaking to dissolve built up grime: Use 2-3 tablespoons in a container with 1-2 tablespoons Home cleaning castile soap. This is perfect for soaking oven trays and racks before giving a scrub. Can be used to help keep drains clear, dissolve 2-3 tablespoons in a small amount of hot water and pour down the drain, leave for an hour and flush with boiled water.

The alkalinity of washing soda means that it may be a mild irritant if dust settles on your skin or gets up your nose. Avoid breathing in dust when decanting and if you are whizzing up laundry powder. Wash your hands after using

Ingredients

Made with ingredients you already know

Washing soda is also called Sodium carbonate. Figgy & Co. Washing soda is the soda ash dense type of sodium carbonate.

This product is the dry, concentrate powder form of washing soda - this is different to washing soda crystals that you can buy at the supermarket and hardware store.

The crystals have a high water content - this means they are diluted compared to our dry concentrated powder, it also means in homemade laundry powder recipes what you make will be damp and clumpy, because of the water content in the crystals.
