Question by Pollywog: What’s the difference between baking soda, bicarbonate of soda, and washing soda?
I hear them use these different terms on “How Clean Is Your House” on BBCA, to mix them into either water, washing up liquid (dish soap) or vinegar for cleaning different things around the house.
Is plain old Arm & Hammer baking soda the same thing?

Washing Soda is made up of Sodium carbonate also known as Carbonic acid disodium salt; Disodium carbonate; Soda ash; Sodium carbonate; Carbonic acid, disodium salt; Sodium carbonate.
This is not the same as baking soda or sodium bicarbonate which these are the same.
Other names for sodium bicarbonate are: Sodium bicarbonate; Carbonic acid monosodium salt; Baking soda; Bicarbonate of soda; Sodium bicarbonate (1:1); Sodium hydrogencarbonate
BTW – The BBC show How Clean is Your House is an awesome show. Love the cleaning tips they offer on each show.
