Washing soda is great for bigger messes
Washing soda has been used for centuries as a safe cleaning ally. 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 in everyday cleaning 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.
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:Â 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:Â 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.

It’s a question we often get asked. While both are the same chemical, Sodium carbonate, the are made differently. Our washing soda is NOT the same as washing soda crystals. Our washing soda is a dry powder that is very concentrated. Soda crystals look like crystal chunks and have a high water component & are not as concentrated and so clean less effectively.
Unfortunately, no. All our recipes were developed using our concentrated dry powder also know as soda ash dense. Washing soda crystals will not give the same result. When crystals are used in laundry powder and dishwasher powder recipes, they clean less effectively and get damp and clumpy.
This product is so powerful but gentle. As one of the main ingredients in the laundry powder it’s fantastic at getting our clothes clean but also our dishes as it’s the only other ingredient in the dishwasher powder.
Great stuff
Living on a rural property means not using hash washing materials so washing soda fits right into our lifestyle
Excellent for laundry
Love this product in my homemade washing powder
