How to Use ARM & HAMMER Super Washing Soda
In Laundry
- Add 1/2 cup to a regular load alongside your detergent for softened water and improved stain removal.
- For heavily soiled loads, add 3/4 to 1 cup to boost cleaning power.
- Pre‑treat stains: dissolve a tablespoon in a little warm water and apply to stains before washing.
Household Cleaning
- All‑purpose cleaner: mix 2 tablespoons per quart of warm water. Use on tile, concrete, and appliances.
- Degreaser: make a thicker paste with a small amount of water for oven or grill grime.
- Brighten grout and floors by scrubbing with a washing soda solution and rinsing thoroughly.
Practical Tips & Safety
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. Although natural, washing soda is an alkaline compound and should be handled with care.
- Wear gloves when using concentrated solutions or pastes to protect skin from irritation.
- Do not mix with ammonia or acids — mixing with other chemicals can create hazardous reactions.
- Test on a small, hidden area before using on delicate surfaces or fabrics.
Why Choose Washing Soda Over Other Boosters?
Unlike many fragranced or enzyme‑based boosters, washing soda works by increasing water alkalinity which helps break down oils, loosen dirt, and improve detergent effectiveness. Its pure formulation (sodium carbonate) makes it a reliable, cost‑effective choice for both laundry and heavy‑duty household cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is washing soda safe for colored clothes?
Yes — when used as directed in recommended amounts. For brightly colored or delicate fabrics, test a small area first and avoid prolonged soaking.
Can I use washing soda in a high‑efficiency (HE) washer?
Yes. Use the recommended amounts for your load size and avoid excess powder — HE machines require less additive than standard machines.
How is washing soda different from baking soda?
Washing soda (sodium carbonate) is a stronger alkaline compound than baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and provides more powerful cleaning and water‑softening effects.
