Now just a concerned question. Do I risk harming family by using it in the washing machine? I tend to use with warm or hot water washes, not cold. I appreciate your reply. For Canadian readers: I buy my washing soda from Home Hardware. Once you know what the box looks like look at it online , you might find it in another local store.
But if you are already buying other stuff from Well. They also sell a smaller package 2 kg which may be your preference. The sales clerks can put their finger on anything immediately among all the piles of stuff and will gladly order something if it is not in stock. That was super helpful, Wendy, thank you! Sounds like Washing Soda is a dangerous powder if inhaled or exposed to your skin.
Is it as dangerous as I am implying?? If you have sensitive skin, you should definitely handle it with gloves. Hi Lucy, the bar soap is added to help give the end result a slightly thicker, gel-like consistency. Been, making my own for years but finding the washing soda has become more challenging as supply seems to not be keeping up with demand and the shelf is more often empty than not anymore.
Now I can buy that huge bag from the bulk distributor and make it. You can tell if you have washing soda as it chemically reacts with hard water. It precipitates the calcium and the reaction heats the water.
Baking soda and water do not react. It stays the same temperature and settles on the bottom. Thanks for that info, Sara! Someone commented before that washing soda felt hot on her wet hands, so this explains it! My daughter and her friends shared your site with me. They all love it! Thank you!! At the end of the day, it was still my fault for not making sure my post linked back to her site.
I tried this. I have washing soda on hand and feel its almost a gritty feeling. Has anyone had this problem? Thank you so much! U have no idea how much this post helps me! But all the companies that sell those use chemical processing to produce them. So now I cant just making my own washing soda and use that to finally complete my goal! Thank you again! And God Bless You!!! Hi there, I am looking for washing soda so I can dye some fabric.
I will try changing plain old baking soda into washing soda and see how my colors turn out from dyeing them. Thanks I can make my own detergent again! It also works great on getting mildew smells out of towels. Lots of people just use baking soda in their detergent recipes, so if it works for you, no need to change a good thing!
I love this tip! I have a quick question. If I put the converted baking soda to washing soda in a seal container will it remain washing soda. I also am having a difficult time finding washing soda. Do you have a recipe for dishwasher detergent? Any thoughts? I doubt the latter but…To be safe, I searched this as well, never found an answer. I lied… 3 questions Besides the visual aspect, is there other clues to verify one has succeeded in transforming it?
Why does baking soda need to be converted? Baking soda and washing soda are two completely different products. This may seem nitpicky, but people who do not use words correctly are perceived as being less credible and less likely to be believed.
Thank you! I can easily get Washing Soda at my local Walmart — but I cannot pay for it with my food stamps like I can with white vinegar. Since I cannot work, and am waiting for disability to come through, there is very little assistance that I qualify for no matter HOW much I have paid into the system over the years So, for me to fork out cash money hurts. Now I know how to turn baking soda into washing soda!!! Will it harm bread if I am baking at the same time hate to waste a hot oven?
Very serious issue with a lot of these natural DIY recipes. If you have ever seen an animal having chemicals burn their eyes while in a head vice you would know there is nothing natural in that. Sorry to be a downer, but someone has to speak for the voiceless and defenseless. Diana, no need to apologize. I really need to get on it and create a new graphic for this post. Thanks for the reminder! I have never seen Bob Red Mill baking soda. Is there any other brand that is cruelty free??
It is very barbaric and inhumane and needs to be stopped. Thank you so much Diana for speaking for the voiceless!! Kudos and much appreciation to you. I know, Beverly — I hope we see that day sooner rather than later as well. Oh my goodness…. I am looking for washing soda. Thank you for explaining. Now if somebody could just tell me how to turn bicarbonato sodico back into baking soda — lol!
Wow, this is just brilliant. I live in a big city and I can never find it. I will have to try this. I love this. Next…finding grass-fed beef…somewhere…. Thanks for the helpful helpful post.

Please check out my wellness page on FB as you can add EOs to your recipes as well! Just an extra tip: hunting for washing soda in your supermarket might be a pain, but soda ash also sodium carbonate , can be found easily at any pool cleaning supplier.
Thanks for publishing the difference between those two…. Is washing soda supposed to get really hot when water is added to it? I never noticed before but recently I had some water on my hand and touch some of my homemade washing soda and it was extremely hot!
Wow, never had that happen before! Thanks for the heads up though! I love this idea. I sent my husband to the store for me obviously a mistake lol for washing soda to make detergent. He comes back with 3 huge boxes of baking soda. You just saved his butt! It seems like such a waste to just toss the baking soda…. Not a silly question at all, Tm! Try mixing in a little dishwashing liquid to slightly emulsify it and help its cleaning properties. I will include the above information, as well. I know these are old posts but I was told we could but very hot water on baking soda and that it does the same thing if you let it sit for a bit.

Simple old-fashioned washing soda. More Information. More Information Extended Information In domestic use, sodium carbonate washing soda is used as a water softener in laundering. It competes with the magnesium and calcium ions in hard water and prevents them from bonding with the detergent being used. Sodium carbonate can be used to remove grease, oil and wine stains. Sodium carbonate is also used as a descaling agent in boilers such as those found in coffee pots and espresso machines.
In dyeing with fiber-reactive dyes, sodium carbonate often under a name such as soda ash fixative or soda ash activator is used to ensure proper chemical bonding of the dye with cellulose plant fibers, typically before dyeing for tie dyes , mixed with the dye for dye painting , or after dyeing for immersion dyeing.
