Natriumcarbonaat

Sodium carbonate is also known as soda or household soda.

Sodium carbonate is often used as a natural and environmentally friendly cleaner. It can be used to remove stains and dirt from surfaces such as tiles, sinks, and oven racks. It can also be used as a degreaser and as an odor neutralizer, for example, in garbage bins.

Sodium carbonate can be used to raise the pH level of water. It is used in swimming pools to balance the pH level and to enhance the effectiveness of chlorine.

In the food industry, sodium carbonate is used as a leavening agent in baked goods such as cakes and cookies. It helps the dough to rise.
