What is it?

Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a naturally occurring mineral compound. While it can be found in nature, it is typically manufactured from naturally derived materials for use in cleaning products.

What does it do?

Baking soda enhances cleaning efficiency by raising the water's pH levels to a slightly alkaline state. This alkaline environment helps our detergent work more effectively with your washing machine to remove dirt, stains, and odors. The mild abrasive properties of sodium bicarbonate also aid in stain removal, leaving laundry fresher, cleaner, and brighter.

How is it made?

Sodium bicarbonate is manufactured by combining carbon dioxide and soda ash, a naturally occurring mineral.
