Soda crystals (also known as washing soda or soda ash) are a traditional multi-purpose cleaner for laundry and around the home.
 
Soda crystals are a form of sodium carbonate and are particularly effective at cleaning heavily soiled surfaces, removing odours, lifting grease and unblocking pipes. Soda crystals are more alkaline than bicarbonate of soda, with a pH of 11, which makes them good for tougher cleaning jobs and for  laundry applications.
 
You can use soda crystals to:
remove stains from clothes
boost your laundry detergent (by softening water and lifting dirt from fabric)
clean your washing machine
soak dirty pans to break down grease
clear blocked pipes
clean heavily soiled surfaces and floors
clean fridges
neutralise odours
clean toilets
clean and deodorise bins
