I am overly excited as I have purchased

SODA CRYSTALS!

I bought them to add to my white washing as I have old and grey white towels I wanted to get stains out of.

I looked on the back of the packaging (here's why I'm so excited) and it seems they can be used for anything from cleaning to getting moss off brick walls. I'm going to Google the brand to see what else they recommend but I was wondering what everyone else finds them really good for and what to give a miss.

Sold to the lady on the laptop!

Where can I buy them?

I get mine from Wilkinson's Gold, also they have uber cheap white vinegar! Got a good sized bag of the crystals for £1 and the vinegar for 80p.

Thanks for that.

There's a Wilkinson's in our nearest town so I'll pick some up next time I'm there.

We have a dry wipe pen stain on a bedroom carpet and have tried every substance known to man without successfully removing it. Will now have to look out for soap spirit.

I love MN!

Chemists tend to have soap spirit Gold

Gosh you'd think we were an uber clean show home family from my cleaning product shopping knowledge

So I buy these soda crystals all cheapo, shove them in the powder drawer with the powder and my white sheets will be white again?

Why is it Sunday night???? I want to get them now!!!

Why aren't you sheets that white PooCatcherCha..., nevermind

I am spending Sunday night hunting for whites that have gone grey and making a list of jobs for tomorrow.

My tesco and sainsburys both stock them. Green bag, lowest shelf, less than £1.

Fab! Just added soda crystals to my next Tesco online order (90p).

Couldn't find white vinegar though.

I searched for soap spirit too but it showed me a Radox handwash which I don't think would be much cop at getting stains out!

Why did nobody tell me about these things years ago?

I've also just added them to my online Tesco shop for tomorrow.

I pour a cupful down the sunk then wash away with boiling water. Also, great for cleaning anything greasy eg extractor hood, splashback behind hob, grill pan (if tin foil has let me down), casserole dishes etc. might try to clean my oven as well now.

Can you use them on granite , my cooker splash back is granite and I just can't get all the fat marks off. We don't even eat fried food
