Not the same stuff:
Sodium carbonate (washing soda) is Na2Co3
Bicarbonate of soda is NaHCo3Geoff Branch
'74 Meejit "Yellow Peril"
'72 Innocenti 1300 Mini
Don't know if it does the same thing. Both are strong bases.

> By the way...Plain old yellow box arm and hammer baking soda ( like the kind
you put in your fridge for odor) it's 100% Sodium Bicarbonate. I do pool and
spa maintenance in the summer, and that's one of the BIG chemicals we use for
alkalinity and ph control, and we've definitely been known to run to the grocery
store to pick that up when needed. But yeah...just look on the ingredients
label. 100% Bicarb.
