Concentrated Soda Crystals / Washing Soda 750g Pouch

Also known as washing soda, soda ash or sodium carbonate - soda crystals are one of the most powerful natural cleaning products you can keep in the house. 750g in a plastic-free, home compostable pouch.

Stronger and more alkaline than bicarbonate of soda, soda crystals are the go-to for heavy-duty jobs - degreasing, laundry boosting, clearing blocked drains, limescale removal and more. A regular feature in Nancy Birtwhistle's natural cleaning recipes - her Clean & Green and Green Living Made Easy are brilliant if you want to go further down the natural cleaning rabbit hole.

Greasy pans: Dissolve 200g in 500ml of hot water and soak pans in the solution for a few hours, then wipe clean.

Cleaning the washing machine: Run a hot wash empty with 500-750g added to the detergent dispenser.

Laundry booster: Add 2 tbsp to the detergent dispenser alongside your usual detergent to soften water and boost cleaning power.

Toilet bowl: Pour 300g down and around the bowl, leave overnight, then flush.

Blocked pipes: Pour a mug of soda crystals down the plughole and flush through with hot water.

FAQs

What's the difference between soda crystals and bicarbonate of soda?
Both are natural and alkaline, but soda crystals are significantly more alkaline and better suited to heavy-duty cleaning like degreasing and drain clearing. Bicarbonate of soda is milder and better for deodorising, light abrasive cleaning and baking. For a full overview of how the natural cleaners compare, Clean & Green by Nancy Birtwhistle is a great reference.

Are soda crystals environmentally friendly?
Yes - sodium carbonate is biodegradable, non-toxic and breaks down naturally without harmful residues. It's also produced through the Solvay process using salt and limestone - no petroleum-derived ingredients.

What surfaces should I avoid?
Do not use on aluminium, waxed or wooden surfaces - the alkalinity can damage them. Fine on most other hard surfaces including tiles, stainless steel, enamel and ceramic.
