Has anyone here tried making washing soda from baking soda? My local feed mill sells baking soda in 25kg bags at $20 for cattle feed, and I know baking it at 400F for an hour decomposes baking soda into washing soda.
If I'm doing the math right, this would work out to about $1.30/kg of washing soda (not counting the gas to run the oven), which is almost a third of what I've been able to find it for elsewhere. Anyone else tried this in bulk?
Btw, our pool is shadowed by pine trees, we get a lot of needles, which I think is why my pH keeps falling.
