Natural Washing Soda

How to use Washing Soda (just some of the ways)

• Swap half your usual laundry powder for Washing Soda – you’ll get a cleaner, softer wash as it softens the water, allowing the detergent to work better.
• Strong Washing Soda solution is great for removing burnt-on grease from pans and dishes.
• Use a strong, hot solution to clean surfaces like floor tiles, patios and paths, painted areas and woodwork, stonework and decks.
• Great for cleaning chopping boards, mops and dishcloths.
• Plastic or cane garden furniture comes up as good as new using a strong Washing Soda solution.
• A mild solution leaves windows, mirrors and tiles sparkling.
• It cuts through soap scum and lime scale in the bath, basin and shower.
• It freshens up the toilet, tiles and grouting.
• It acts as a fungicide that can kill mould and mildew in damp areas of the house.
• In the garden you can use it to target green fly, mildew and black spot.

Although this is a natural product, you need to use it correctly as it has very high alkalinity and can be an irritant to sensitive skin. So please –

• Wear rubber gloves when using it if you have sensitive skin
• Consider wearing glasses to protect your eyes
• Do not inhale or consume this product

Don’t use Washing Soda on aluminium, fibreglass or polished/waxed/varnished surfaces as it reacts with these.
