Soda Crystals (washing soda) have been used around the home, by farmers and in commerce and industry for over 150 years. Soda Crystals are extremely versatile and are relatively inexpensive. One of the reasons Soda Crystals have remained so popular is that, unlike many modern cleaners and detergents, Soda Crystals contain no phosphates, enzymes or bleach.
In most instances, Soda Crystals need to be diluted with water:
Mild - 1 tablespoon to one pint (500ml) of water
Regular - Half a cup to one pint (500ml) of water
Strong - 1 cup to one pint (500ml) of water
Soda Crystals should not be used on aluminium
