Bicarbonate of soda - where can I buy lots of it for cleaning?

I've recently rediscovered the joys of bicarbonate for cleaning, but where can I buy bigger packs of it?
Years ago I bought a big packets from tesco, which was part of their natural cleaning range, but they don't seem to do it any more. Must I buy the piddley little tubs of it from the baking isle? There must be somewhere that sells big packs for cleaning - can anyone point main the right direction?

Bloody difficult, I've found. I usually get DH to bring back those fridge packs from the US. You use them as fridge deodorisers for a couple of months, then use them as cleaning bicarb. I have not found anywhere to buy sensible amounts of bicarb in shops. I wonder if home brewing shops might...

I found a box (about the size of a box of dishwasher tablets) in Wilkinsons, about 6 weeks ago.

I remember getting a huge pack when I was soap making and doing bath bombs and stuff, one of my craft fads a while back- everyone got them for Christmas presents that year! You could try those sorts of suppliers. Sorry I can't remember who I used at the time, it might have been the soap tub, or something similar online. HTH

I use www.soapkitchenonline.co.uk/acatalog/Welcome.html There are others like them - google soap making supplies or bath bomb making supplies.

My local hardware store has boxes of it. You just reminded me I need some.

CuriousMama · 22/04/2012 19:05

It's in bulk here.

I've just found a kilo of it on Amazon. HTH.

Bookers do large tubs of it.

Costco do big bags.

I recently bought a huge bag from a Chinese supermarket - have you got one of those nearby?

drownangels · 07/03/2013 17:52

Just go to your nearest pharmacist and order it. I order 2.5kg at a time at it last for ages and ages!

Can you write us a nice long list of all the things you do with it OP? Smile

Another one who got a huge bag from an oriental supermarket (Korean for me!)
