Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3, or sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as baking soda, bread soda, or bicarbonate of soda.
Does this help? Seems they are the same thing!

Quootiepie · 06/08/2006 17:22

DH wants me to wait 'til after dinner so all the washing up can be done 1st. Dont have a swanky 2 sided one like Flylady though! now... do you fill to the outlet hole, the very top, or right up onto draining board? Hows your sink doing?

I have a dish washer so no washing up for me unless its not dishwasher safe.
I just filled to the outlet hole and tipped some on the draining board.
Mines looking fairly sparkly.Hope i can keep it that way.
