What Are Concentrated Soda Crystals And How To Use Them

soda crystals cleaning in the kitchen cleaning.

Concentrated soda crystals are a multi-purpose cleaning agent and an effective environmentally friendly alternative to other high-street toxic cleaning products. The powder is soluble in water and it cleans, removes odours, saponifies grease and neutralises acids.

The alkaline pH of concentrated soda crystals allows the neutralisation of acidity and removes any greasy stains. It can also be used to clean enamel surfaces (bathtub, toilet, washbasins, etc.), marble or to clear blocked pipes (build-ups made of organic material). Concentrated soda crystals are almost three times as active as traditional water-containing soda crystals. 

Are soda crystals the same as bicarbonate of soda?

No, soda crystals are not exactly the same as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda. Soda crystals are sodium carbonate decahydrate, which is chemically similar to baking soda. However, soda crystals are more alkaline and so are better, for example, at removing grease and stains.

Soda Crystal Uses

Soda crystals can be dissolved in warm water and put into a spray bottle for cleansing. As a guide, the following is recommended:

Mild: One tablespoon (20g) to one pint (500ml) of water
Regular: Half a cup (100g) to one pint (500ml) of water
Strong: One cup (200g) to one pint (500ml) of water

Other uses of concentrated soda crystals

Blocked Pipes

Shift a build-up of trapped grease and debris from your sink, bathroom basin, bath, or shower waste pipes by pouring a mug of crystals down the plughole. Flush through with hot water.

Greasy Pans

Soak greasy pans or those encrusted with burnt-on food in a solution of soda crystals and hot water - the longer you can leave them to soak the better. And if your roasting tray is full of fat after, sprinkle on dry crystals while the tray is still hot. Leave to stand for a few minutes so the crystals soak up the fat, then scrape the mixture into the bin.

Tarnished Silver

Bring your silver pieces back to their gleaming best. Line a bowl with foil and pour in hot water. Add 200g soda crystals to 1 pint (500ml) of hot water and wait for them to dissolve. Immerse your silver pieces (but not precious stones) in the solution. You'll see a fizzing reaction as the tarnish dissolves. Rinse each piece and dry.

Soiled Baby Clothes

Babies and young children have delicate skin that may be irritated by the enzymes and fragrances in many laundry detergents. You can remove dirt and stains in a way that's gentle on sensitive skin by soaking clothes in a solution of 100g soda crystals to 1 pint (500ml) hot water. Leave to stand for at least an hour, but preferably overnight, then machine or hand wash.

Mossy Paths & Patios

Make easy work of removing unsightly moss and algae from paving by sprinkling soda crystals on the affected areas, then moistening with water using a watering can or hose. Leave the solution to soak in for 24 hours, by which time the moss will turn brown and be easy to remove.

Extractor Fan Filter

Make up a strong solution in a washing up bowl and leave the filter to soak for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then use a sponge to gently scrub away any leftover grime.

Garden Furniture & Ornaments

Use a regular strength solution of Soda Crystals with a hard bristle brush to remove anything that is caked-on, mould, algae and mud.

Oven Racks

Lay them in your bath and fill it up with hot water. Pour in a good amount of Soda Crystals and leave to soak for a few hours. They'll look brand new after you’ve rinsed them!

Toilet 

Pour some into your toilet and using a toilet brush, swish them around the bowl. It'll freshen up the toilet and stop it from getting blocked.

Chopping Boards

Use a regular strength solution of Soda Crystals to remove staining and grime from your chopping boards. Plus, the crystals will leave no odour or taste once rinsed off.

Floor Cleaner

Add a couple of tablespoons of soda crystals to your mop bucket. Make sure the water is nice and warm, and give it a swish around to dissolve the crystals into the water. Why not pop a few drops of essential oils into the mixture to leave your house smelling good after it’s been cleaned?

Hob

Spread the liquid over the surface of the hob and leave it for a few minutes. Wipe off with a sponge, making sure to rinse off any nasty bits.

Oven

Spray Liquid Soda Crystals onto your oven and leave the solution to sit for an hour. Wipe off with a sponge and rinse with clean water.

  • I am Ray Taylor from Kalispell, Montana. I’ve lived in Montana my whole life. Out here, we take pride in our work and in our word. That’s why when I got approached online by someone who talked about crypto investing like it was the key to a better future, I believed him. He was patient, friendly, and it seemed like someone trying to help a regular family-oriented man get ahead. It started with $1,000. Then $5,000 then more. Every time I checked the dashboard, my ‘investment’ had grown. I thought I was doing something smart for once. I ended up putting in over $500,000 my retirement, the equity from my house, even a loan. A week later, everything disappeared. No website. No support. The man I trusted? Gone without a trace. I can’t explain how that kind of betrayal hits you. I felt sick. Like a fool. I stopped sleeping. My wife was devastated. We thought we’d lost everything. The FBI said it was a ‘pig butchering’ scam, something out of Southeast Asia, but that didn’t help us get our money back, so I called it a nightmare. Weeks and months went by, and I was conflicted so hard then someone mentioned ICC Fiat Reclaim Services. I didn’t have much hope, but I reached out anyway because what else could I do? From the first call, they treated me like a human being, not just another case. They collected every information’s, worked tirelessly, tracked down where the funds had been laundered, and, by some miracle, recovered nearly all of it. Over $500,000 in USDT came back to my account. For once, I never thought recovery was even possible. But ICC proved me wrong. They gave us a second chance at the future we thought was stolen for a fee. If you’re reading this and you’ve been scammed please don’t stay silent. There is hope and ICC is all that.

  • Recovered $720,000 USDT Lost to Hyper Verse Scam:
    I fell victim to the Hyper Verse Ponzi Scheme and lost a staggering $720,000 in USDT. Like many other investors, I was drawn in by promises of high daily returns and the vision of a revolutionary metaverse platform. It all seemed innovative and convincing until the truth came to light. Hyper Verse was a massive scam that defrauded investors worldwide of nearly $1.89 billion.

    I felt completely hopeless until I found the ICC Cyber Team.

    They reviewed my case, built a solid recovery plan, and supported me through every step. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I recovered my lost funds.

    If you or someone you know has been affected by a scam like Hyper Verse, I highly recommend contacting ICC Cyber Team. Their work truly changed my life, and they gave me a second chance I never thought possible.

  • Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,450 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about coinsrecovery organization. I contacted him via (COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE AT GMAIL DOT C OM)and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year.

  • thought losing $500,000 in cryptocurrency was the end of the road for me. I had no idea how to recover my wallet, and all other services seemed to offer nothing more than false hope. But then I found, Asset Rescue Specialist . Their team was incredible—professional, skilled, and thorough. They used advanced forensic methods and worked tirelessly to recover every penny. In the end, I got back everything I thought I had lost forever. Their support didn’t stop there; they also helped me fortify my wallet to prevent future breaches. The experience of losing such a significant amount of money, especially in the volatile world of cryptocurrency, left me feeling completely helpless. I reached out to several so-called recovery services, but most seemed more interested in collecting fees than actually offering real solutions. Asset Rescue Specialist, however, was different. From the moment I contacted them, their approach was transparent and results-driven. They explained the entire recovery process step-by-step, giving me confidence in their methods. What really set them apart was their expertise. They utilized advanced forensic techniques to trace transactions and identify where my funds had gone. It wasn’t just about retrieving my money; they demonstrated a deep understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrency networks, which reassured me that I was in capable hands. Within a week, I received an update that they had successfully recovered the full amount I had lost. It felt like a miracle. Beyond the recovery, Asset Rescue Specialist went the extra mile to help me secure my wallet and improve my overall digital security. They advised me on the best practices for safeguarding my assets and set up a multi-layered security system to prevent future breaches. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I now feel much more confident about my cryptocurrency holdings. I couldn’t be more grateful to ,Asset Rescue Specialist for turning what seemed like a devastating loss into a positive, secure future.
