Where do you get sodium carbonate?

Answer 1

Go to Home Depot in the spa section, look for PH increaser, ingredients say 100% sodium carbonate, foot soaking salts also have it but lots of other stuff too which you don't want. costs about 6$ for 16oz

Answer 2

Try an automotive shop, home improvement store (probably in the masonry/concrete section), or drugstore. You might need to ask for "water glass" instead of sodium silicate. If you live in the US, you could ask a car dealership participating in the "cash for clunkers" program where they're getting it from, as it's the approved method of disabling car engines in that program.

Answer 3

Sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash, can be purchased at most hardware stores, home improvement centers, and online retailers. It is commonly used in cleaning products and can usually be found in the laundry aisle or with other household chemicals.

Answer 6

Commercially, any shop that sells Washing Soda, or soda Crystals, is selling sodium carbonate.

Supermarkets in the cleaning section will have them .
