  1. Every time I normally wash my dish cloths I think of this recipe. I need to get these stains out and know this recipe is the answer to my problems. (Plus I’m secretly curious how dirty the water will be ?)

  2. I just love watching the bubbling and fizzing of this…and the pure disgust of my children’s faces when they discover what is ‘cooking’ on the stove and the aftermath of what we thought were clean dishcloths. Sensational!

    • Nope, they’re different.

      Sodium carbonate, also known as washing soda, softens water and is effective at removing stains. It acts as a fungicide, helping to eliminate mould and mildew. Sodium carbonate is harvested from deep underground deposits of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. The slurry is brought to the surface where it is filtered and refined, leaving us with pure sodium carbonate.

      Sodium percarbonate, also known as oxygen bleach (the powdered form), is an effective disinfectant and household cleaning ingredient, brightening clothes and removing stains. It is most effective when combined with warm/hot water. Sodium percarbonate breaks down into oxygen, water and soda ash, making it an eco-friendly, as well as powerful, ingredient.

  3. Hi, What is a common name for sodium percarbonate OR what’s it called as a brand and where would I buy it?
