Who has used washing soda for buffer?

[Delphinus]

Sorry to backtrack the thread a little ... Victor, you said you got your A&H from the U.S. ... Aha! I swear our A&H Washing Soda is not the same as that in the U.S., because the guys on RC swore there was no scent to the washing soda. Ours is ... well, like Brad said, perfumey. There's something else in there. Lemony or flowery or something. Very odd.

The boxes that I see at the supermarkets up here, say something like "SO CLEAN! (Super washing soda)". It looks like the product name is "A&H So Clean" and not "Washing Soda."

I like your idea about heating baking soda and making my own washing soda. Thanks for the tip. I will try this.

PS. Brad, I hope things settle out in your tank quite quickly. Good luck!
