Soda ash is the common name for sodium carbonate, a chemical compound frequently used in manufacturing, industry, and even around the house. Glass production is one of the primary uses for sodium carbonate. Detergents and cleaning agents may also make use of it, and it can be used in cooking or as a food additive, as well. Use in the Home Sodium carbonate is a natural water softener, which makes it a common additive to detergents. Products used for these purposes are often sold as washing ash or washing soda. Soda ash prevents hard water from bonding with the detergent, allowing it to be distributed more evenly during the washing cycle. In addition, the compound has demonstrated ability to help remove buildup. It can help remove alcohol and grease stains from clothing, as well as calcification in everything from coffee pots and espresso makers to boilers and hot water heaters. Running a solution of sodium carbonate and water through these systems from time to time will help prevent the minerals in water from building up in them and keep them functioning at their best. Soda ash can also be used to increase the alkalinity in swimming pools, helping to ensure the proper pH balance of the water. It can be used in dying to help the dye bond to the fabric effectively. Photographers also use a sodium carbonate solution as part of the photo development process. Safety: Sodium carbonate is generally regarded as a safe substance. It can be handled without extraordinary precautions, and the United States Food and Drug Administration has deemed it safe for human consumption in all its forms.

Exactly as expected, great price and packaged well
This stuff has so many uses for making household cleaners. We bought it made our own laundry soap and it turned out great. The packaging was done very well to prevent any from spilling out during shipping and for future storage.

Soda Ash Magic -
Use as an embalming medium by the ancient Egyptians it is an unusual additive to magical procedures. As a rather pragmatic magician, I am using it in a weight loss spell for myself, as well as in other spells and in making Egyptian holy water. I am very pleased with what I received from the Amazon purchase.
