I’m definitely turning into my mother as a month ago I complained as the local big Sainsbury’s stopped stocking soda crystals, and I complained and they let me know they are now stocking them again!

Hurrah! I learned about them on GN from a cleaning post, and when they stopped stocking them I certainly noticed how useful they were round the house once they were gone!

Bet you can get it a damn sight cheaper at Wilco!

Reading the replies, I’m not convinced everyone is talking about the same kind of soda. We are talking about old fashioned large crystals the size of a fingernail, right? Bicarbonate of soda is also used for cleaning, and that has crystals the size of table salt.

Apologies you are right, in my tip for cleaning and freshening up mattresses I use bicarbonate of soda. Soda crystals wouldn’t go through the sieve lol. Had a senior moment.

Soda crystal also gets rid of moss on patio`s/ unclogging drains/sinks and cleans stainless steel tea pots.

The soda crystals I use in the garden are powdery, not large crystals.

Mine too - looks just like bicarb, in fact. I haven't seen the large crystals for years now.

Home Bargains is a good place for these

The bag shown is the one I have, but I also use the ones from Wilko that come in a light blue box.
