More like flat and grainy.<br /><br />Washing soda is not the same as baking soda. They are two different compounds and are used for completely different purposes.<br /><br />Washing soda, aka sodium carbonate (or soda ash), is a natural cleaner and a powerful water softener. It’s very basic with a pH of 11. The Environmental Working Group gives it an “A” on their scale, so it passes with flying colors, making it safe and non-toxic.<br /><br />However, it’s very caustic and not edible. Make sure to wear gloves if you’ll be touching it with your hands, and try not to inhale the tiny particle dust that might fly up if you stir it too fast.Bonnie Knoxvillehttp://facebook.com/wretchedelegancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936983930317680123.post-3311417943342616942014-01-30T19:51:33.216-05:002014-01-30T19:51:33.216-05:00Washing soda has a different effect then baking so...Washing soda has a different effect then baking soda, However you can make your own washing soda out of baking soda by baking it....I know sound weird I was skeptical about it did some research I cant say I understand the whole process of changing it but it does change. It is much cheaper to buy baking soda and isnt really that hard to bake, you just spread it on a cookie sheet put it in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes, ovens may vary a bit, and when you take it out it is no longer shiny if you use a flashlight and you shine it on baking soda it sparkles washing soda does not as soon as it is no longer sparkly its done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869405072938917817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936983930317680123.post-74758404946650588062013-09-13T10:00:47.151-04:002013-09-13T10:00:47.151-04:00what's the difference between washing soda and...what's the difference between washing soda and baking soda?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936983930317680123.post-63226794661642896732013-07-31T00:43:39.314-04:002013-07-31T00:43:39.314-04:00Don't mix Castile soap and vineger.

You were better off going toward a website that could advertise the male sizegenetics combined with individuals are performing the sizegenetics services so you just know what you may are getting and what you need right up front. You're going to are going to see a photo in the man who is providing this service for you or maybe learn the rates that he charges in the erotic gay sizegenetics before you truly engage him for male sizegenetics. That is the best way to buy what you may are looking for in relation to this kind of service. By using this method, you're going to be not disappointed as chances are you'll be because you go through an ad service where you cannot view a photo. <br /> http://buysizegeneticsonline.tumblr.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936983930317680123.post-22527653220892035132012-11-11T04:21:19.741-05:002012-11-11T04:21:19.741-05:00I just played around with this recipe a bit and ma...I just played around with this recipe a bit and managed to thicken it to a consistency similar to Cascade Gel. I decreased the water to 1 cup and increased the washing soda to 2 tbs. I used Dr. Bronner's Castile soap for my liquid and I added a tbs of grated bar soap. I cooked it until everything was dissolved and let it sit until cool, whisking about every 15 minutes to combine. I poured it into a clean container with a squeeze top using a funnel and it works great!

I being one of them. <br /><br />so if you look it up yes it used to be used by people for stomach aches and such but it is also used for bugs and roaches as well to kill them as well so if it kills bugs I would not want it in my body.

I have tried the homemade powder version with the citric acid and that was not good at all. The citric acid clumped up and the dishes were left with grease and powdery film. I used castile soap and I did add about 5 drops of dawn to the final concoction (for insurance) I will stick with this recipe for my dishes. So glad!
