It is also known as bicarbonate, baking soda, E500, and bicarb. It possesses numerous ecological properties and is inexpensive. The variety and richness of its applications are astounding. Sodium bicarbonate can replace many products. Therefore, consider sodium bicarbonate instead of water softeners, chemical cleaning agents, air fresheners, and maintenance products! It can be used as a cleaning agent, water softener, abrasive, pH regulator, air freshener, and descaler... the applications are countless! Sodium bicarbonate - a bit of history The ancient Egyptians already used the properties of natron, a mineral consisting of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. They extracted this substance from the evaporation of salt lakes and used it as soap to wash their bodies. This substance was also used to mummify bodies; bicarbonate possesses excellent dehydrating properties. In 1791, a French chemist first developed sodium bicarbonate as we know it today. Various improvements were later made in its production and refining. Current bicarbonate is primarily obtained from the chemical reaction between chalk and salt: two virtually inexhaustible sources. Some dried-up lakes (including in Canada and the US) still extract natron today, which yields refined bicarbonate.
