Color:White Used as a water softener, the soda ash gives the water an alkaline taste. this process is used in buildings every day to soften the hard water and can be added to the laundry wash cycle, adding soda ash to a pool or hot tub that has a high ph level will reduce the ph in the pool. this helps stabilize the alkaline levels, use the soda ash for tie dying. the soda ash is recommended to insure that the dye properly bonds with the fabric, use soda ash as an additive in baking. it is used as a stabilizer, raising agent and an anti-caking agent, use soda ash mixed with water in a spray bottle to remove mold from wood surfaces as well as other materials.

The particles seem to be a lot finer so whenever I shake or pour this stuff
Bought this for making homemade cleaning stuffs as a cheaper alternative to Arm & Hammer. The particles seem to be a lot finer so whenever I shake or pour this stuff, it irritates my nose and throat really bad and I cough for a few minutes. I don't remember having this issues w/ A&H. It seems to be getting the job done in both my laundry soap and dishwasher tabs, so in that respect, I can't complain. Only peeve is that the description mentions an included scoop, which I did not receive and would have been nice to have.

... my homemade laundry detergent and my family and I love it. It suds up just the right amount ...
I have been using my Soda Ash for about 3 months now in my homemade laundry detergent and my family and I love it. It suds up just the right amount and cleans our clothes very well (even my son's clothes and he is a maintenance intern so he gets greasy). The soda ash is cheaper than Washing soda and besides I couldn't find washing soda in any stores around me. The seller was great quick delivery and the price was great. I will definately use this seller again.

Lowest cost available
Nice even white powered soda ash worked fine for my swimming pool though not described as for such purpose;Other products that included "For Swimming Pool" description could cost twice or more as much.Pouring this powder into an airtight jar from its thick polythene shipping bag results in a fine alkaline mist so be sure to stay clear of this irritating result.I poured it outdoors with the breeze going away from me.LABEL the new container indelibly : ) It looks a lot like caster sugar or other edible things : )

Cheaper than A&H washing soda
Recommended by a famous columnist for an ingredient in home-made laundry detergent. It's the same as washing soda but a lot cheaper sold as soda ash. This will last me a long time, but when I do run out, I'll buy it here again if it's still being sold.

Good for Cleaning Home Coffee Makers
Saw that sodium carbonate was the main ingredient in a pre-packaged coffee maker cleaning solution. Bought this product to perform the same function. It works just like the pre-packaged product, at a much lower cost per use. Thorough rinsing after cleaning is essential for both coffee maker and pot. The 5 lb. bag should last a long time. Would recommend and buy again.
