Washing soda features either as an ingredient in some cleaning products or as a standalone cleaning agent. It can be made by putting baking soda in an oven and is often used in homemade detergent recipes, and is sometimes used as a laundry booster or water softener. It’s an alkaline substance that can be used for general household cleaning, and even for the laundry. Read on to learn all about washing soda, what it is and how it’s made, how you can use it, and whether it’s really the best solution for your laundry.

How is washing soda made?

Washing soda is often made from the ashes of burned plants, which is why it’s sometimes known as soda ash. Another way it’s made is by simply putting baking soda in the oven. Heating baking soda in the oven causes a chemical reaction that changes the baking soda compound, transforming it into washing soda. Please note, that making your own chemicals at home can be extremely dangerous, so we don’t recommend trying to make your own washing soda.

\sf Na_{2}HCO_{2}\overset{ \triangle}{\longrightarrow} Na_{2}CO_{3} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}

• Sodium carbonate is recrystalined to prepare washing soda.

Now reaction for preparation of washing soda

Na₂CO₃ + 10H₂O ➝ Na₂CO₃.10H₂O
