Soda Crystals: Cheap and Chips and still going strong after over 150 years of use!
It's nearing the anniversary of my grandma's death. She was a wonderful lady, strong and even though grandparents shouldn't have favourites, she made it quite clear to everyone that I was hers. Sadly she ... Read review
...my sister recommended I try soda crystals.
Soda crystals have been around for years and have been used for cleaning before the creation of modern cleaning products. I found a bag in Asda for 75p for 1kg. I thought this was a great bargain and was hopeful it would help my clothes.
I have only been using this for a couple of weeks and I wished I had discovered this sooner. I put a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) in with my washing powder and wash ... ...would need fabric conditioner but soda crystals soften the water used to wash clothes and therefore reduces the need for this and I also found out that soda crystals are great for removing stains and act as a stain remover so your whites really do come out whiter! I was really pleased with the results of my white wash and wished someone had told me sooner.
Soda crystals have other advantages to using them in your laundry. As they soften water it ...

Advantages: Cheap, Environmentally friendly, Versatile...they're just great, ok? Disadvantages: You wouldn't want to sprinkle them on your cornflakes!
...save. My latest discovery is Soda Crystals and for this I need to thank Kim and Aggie and my other half being late home, causing me to watch their programme on BBCAmerica (Their show is on 4 times a day in America, can you believe it?).
My shopping bill seems to get bigger and bigger and I often find new products I want to try out, or 'need' as they claim to 'better than the rest'. My biggest expense always seem to come from cleaning products, be ... ...looking, salt like stuff, called Soda Crystals (sometimes known as 'washing soda'). I had heard of them before but didn't really know what they did.
It turns out they have been around for over 200 years as a recognised cleaning product. Not only are they a traditional cleaning product, but they are highly versatile, cheap and most importantly, environmentally friendly.

Advantages: cheap; safe and removes stains like no other Disadvantages: not safe on aluminium
I first read about soda crystals (aka washing soda) in a book on environmentally friendly cleaning product alternatives. I vaguely remembered then my mum using them to unblock the sink when I was young in the 80s. I read on ciao of one lady using them to whiten her tea towels; well I have 3 boys under the age of 4 and I must have thrown away 10s if not 100s of vests; socks and other white badly stained items. i have also had to throw away coloured ... ...with a drawer full of soda crystals and a bit of washing powder; it worked so well even old banana stains came out! When I added fabric conditioner the next time the items turned out lovely and soft and as new. Even coloured items were not damaged by the process; although do be warned that that plasticky printed writing or pictures you get on kids item will disintegrate if you wash those items with soda crystals.
