Light soda vs. heavy soda

Back 13. 01. 2020

So what is the difference between these two raw materials?

Both raw materials represent
 
- sodium carbonate (soda ash), fine powder,
- with the same molecular weight (105.99),
- with the same rate of solubility (max. 33.2% at 35.4 ?C)
- produce the same pH (a 1 % solution in pure distilled water produces a pH of 11,4)

It would seem that these are identical raw materials, but there is a difference. It lies in the density and particle size. Light soda is 0.77 grams per cubic centimeter and heavy soda is 1.06 grams per cubic centimeter, which in practice means that a kilo of light soda is larger in volume than a kilo of heavy soda. In addition, light soda is monohydrate (Na2CO3-H2O) and heavy soda is decahydrate (Na2CO3-10H2O).

Both variants are excellent raw materials used for cleaning purposes. Combined with citric acid, it helps with clogged waste. Soda itself helps soften water, is the basis for homemade dishwasher tablets, removes odors, dirt and disinfects. In the kitchen, it also helps with degreasing.

Heavy soda has become a popular option just for its use in laundry detergents and stain removal (it dissolves easily in water and releases heat). In addition to removing stains and cleaning laundry, it also takes care of the washing machine itself and helps to some extent the hardness of the water against limescale build-up.

 

LIGHT SODA - HOW TO MAKE WASHING POWDER ?

Try a greener washing alternative and make your own washing powder at home. Making it is not only easy and eco-friendly, but it won't put a strain on your wallet either.
 
 
To make the powder you will need:
 
 
Powdered heavy soda 400 g
Washing soap 100 g
 
 
If you want proper strength for your white laundry, we have a recipe for that too:
 
 
Heavy Soda 2000 g
Grated laundry soap 200 g
Sodium percarbonate 1000 g
TAED 50 g
Essential oil 10-15 drops
 
 
Mix the ingredients in case the soap goes into the recipe so finely grate it and mix it with the soda. You can also add a few drops of essential oil according to your preference. Store the powder in a glass container so it doesn't dry out.
Use 2-3 tablespoons of washing powder for one batch of 5-6 kg of laundry. If you want to increase the bleaching effects (recommended only when washing white linen), add one tablespoon of sodium percarbonate.


TIP: the use in the recipe is approximate and you can vary it depending on the hardness of the water. In case you have harder water, you can increase the ratio of soda, but you need to monitor its effect, because at high dosage it can cause greying of clothes.
