Directions

Dissolve sodium carbonate in warm water and add it to your laundry soap recipe as directed, typically in the dry mixing stage for powders or the water phase for liquid formulas. Use only at recommended levels, as too much can make the mixture overly alkaline and harsh on fabrics or skin. Avoid breathing dust, wear gloves when handling, and always test your finished laundry soap on a small load or inconspicuous fabric area first.

Warning

For external use only. Avoid breathing dust or contact with eyes. Wear gloves, mask, and eye protection when handling. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Reviews

Keep buying

"I have purchased the sodium carbonate multiple times over the past year and I will continue to do so. It’s a good quality product that gives the results I’m looking for comes in no nonsense packaging with a self ceiling top. I usually wait to buy it until it goes on sale to be a Moore appealing price point."

Borax

"Always love this product. I added it to my laundry for a fresher cleaner outcome."

— Lisa (5/5)

Great price and purchase!

"I used this product for my handmade laundry. It was a great addition. The only thing I regret is buying only one pound. Will buy more in the next order."

— Silvia (5/5)

Excellent Washing Soda

"I use this sodium carbonate (aka Washing Soda) in laundry detergent. I love that it comes in handy 5 lb bags, and that it is truly fragrance free. If you've bought washing soda at the grocery store (usually Arm & Hammer brand), take a whiff of it and you'll find it has a bit of a fragrance added to it. Not so with this product, which is wonderful for those who are sensitive to chemical fragrances."

— Casey (5/5)

— Jennifer (5/5)

Laundry Soap

"Recently started making my own laundry soap from my own handcrafted bar soap and found this Sodium Carbonate is a much better price point and size availability. No longer need to spend more per ounce on the smaller size at the local store."
