Bicarbonate of soda
from HEITMANN pure

Want to join us on a brief detour  into the world of chemistry to get a better understanding of how bicarbonate of soda works?

Like ordinary table salt, it’s a sodium salt. It’s also known by the chemical name sodium hydrogencarbonate. It occurs naturally, but today it’s mostly obtained from table salt. Bicarbonate of soda is also used as a raising agent. Chemically, and in appearance, bicarbonate of soda is similar to sodium carbonate, often known as soda or washing soda. Please never forget that sodium carbonate must not be eaten. HEITMANN Active Soda combines bicarbonate of soda and sodium carbonate as sodium sesquicarbonate in the above-mentioned solid solution. It’s very effective while still being gentle on surfaces and so on.

Under no circumstances should our Active Soda product be used in any baking recipe, as it’s NOT intended for use in food. However, it is ideal for cleaning cookware, tableware, ovens, and kitchens for hygienic and food-safe results.

Active Soda from HEITMANN is a proven household remedy for odours, grease, dirt, and stains. Bicarbonate of soda has proven its worth as a cleaning agent over generations, and powerful Active Soda from HEITMANN is equally effective. Especially if sustainability is also on your mind. Because Active Soda is comprised of the naturally occurring minerals bicarbonate of soda and sodium carbonate, you can feel good about cleaning your home while being especially kind to the environment. At the same time, Active Soda ensures food-safe hygiene. A big advantage the next time you want to give your oven or fridge a thorough clean, if not before.

Cleaning agents based on bicarbonate of soda can be used in a variety of ways. The same is true of Active Soda from HEITMANN. It’s suitable for all kinds of household and laundry care applications.

You can:

• Use bicarbonate of soda to remove odours
• Use bicarbonate of soda as a degreaser

• Clean teapots, coffee-pots, and other hard-to-clean containers
• Use Active Soda to remove stains
• Soften water using bicarbonate of soda

Now we’ll explain in detail how to use the product.

As well as generating kitchen waste, cooking also produces odours. Active Soda from HEITMANN is the answer as it can remove a wide range of smells. Active Soda reliably neutralises everything from the odour of sour milk from milk frothers to the whiff of onion and garlic coming from wooden chopping boards and so on.

What’s more, the versatile and effective bicarbonate of soda powder is also suitable for refreshing shoes and textiles—with very little effort. Simply sprinkle Active Soda powder into shoes, onto carpets, or on anything else in the home that smells unpleasant. Active Soda absorbs odours, so you’re aware of nothing but a fresh scent.

Kitchenware can simply be washed with a solution of water and Active Soda, leaving it not only clean but also hygienically fresh, no matter what you might have cooked beforehand.

So many tasty foods leave residues behind in the kitchen. Greasy deposits, for instance. But even these can be removed easily and gently using Active Soda. Mix the bicarbonate of soda powder with water to make a solution you can use to remove grease from ovens, baking trays, wall tiles, and extractor hoods in next to no time. For a kitchen that looks brand new.

Few things are as difficult to clean as teapots and coffee-pots. So, what can you do about stubborn soiling and odours? The answer: Active Soda can remove them effectively, even in tricky cases like these. With little effort, your teapots and coffee-pots will be spotless again, and you won’t see (or smell) their dirty past.

Another strength of Active Soda is in pretreating stains. Even tough opponents like grease spots and coloured mixed stains, such as make-up, tomato sauce, or lipstick, can be lifted from deep in the fibres of your laundry. Simply mix Active Soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the stain. Once it’s had time to take effect, wash your clothes as usual. And then? Clean laundry and pure bliss!

Some regions struggle with it more than others: “hard” water with a high mineral content, which leaves its mark everywhere. Multi-purpose Active Soda softens water, allowing cleaning agents to work more effectively, so you can use less of them. Simply add some Active Soda to your cleaning water. Giving the Active Soda solution another five minutes to act will, if all goes well, make your limescale problem a thing of the past.

Cleaning agents based on bicarbonate of soda or household bicarbonate of soda are proven household remedies, as they clean powerfully but gently. Sodium carbonate, or soda, is also valued for its similar properties.

The best of both powerful household remedies has been combined in HEITMANN Active Soda. It’s perfect for modern—and, above all, sustainable—household and laundry care and can be used in many different ways. HEITMANN Active Soda ensures food-safe cleanliness and is natural and hygienic, so it’s kind to the environment.

You’ll be amazed at how many expensive specialist cleaners you can do without when you have Active Soda in the house. After all, it combines all the benefits of bicarbonate of soda and sodium carbonate in a powerful yet gentle household remedy that can be used to remove odours, grease, and stains throughout the home.

This powerful bicarbonate of soda powder isn’t the only product available to buy under the HEITMANN pure brand. We also offer a host of other cleaning agents that have been inspired by nature to make eco-friendly cleaning and washing a breeze.
