Bicarb Soda (Natural Sodium Bicarbonate)

Bicarb soda is a mild alkaline cleaner with excellent deodorising properties. Rather than masking smells, it absorbs and neutralises odours, making it ideal for everyday use and areas where harsh cleaners aren’t needed.

It’s commonly used in deodorising tasks, gentle scrubbing, and DIY recipes where a low-abrasive, low-tox ingredient is preferred.

Bicarb soda is very safe and easy to use, but it’s not designed for heavy-duty degreasing or disinfecting.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture

While food-grade in quality, we recommend using this bicarb for cleaning only, as it’s stored with other cleaning ingredients.

Hi, I'm Analisa the order packer. I pack everything fresh to order, and you have two options for how it arrives:

1. Apothecary Jar: It’s a wide-mouth jar made from recycled glass with a tinted amber look (not pure amber, but still charming). The lid even fits roughly a tablespoon, so it’s handy for scooping. Looks good on the bench and keeps your Bicabrb airtight and ready to go.

2. Earth Bag: A compostable option made from kraft paper with a plant-based inner lining. Great for transport and low waste, but not ideal for long-term storage. Just transfer it to a sealed container when it arrives - glass is best.

Whichever you choose, just keep it dry, sealed, and out of reach from little hands.
