Fun Facts

The ancient Egyptians used natural deposits of Sodium carbonate dehydrate, and sodium bicarbonate as a cleansing agent (Soap).

Dr Austin Church and John Dwight began to manufacture and sell the bicarbonate of sodium we know today but it was first discovered by the French chemist Nicolas Leblanc in 1791.

Since 2000, bicarbonate of sodium is used by kids to mummify things such as hot dogs for science projects.

Bicarbonate of soda is also used as a deodorant, a facial and body exfoliant, or even as laundry detergent. It is also found in toothpaste, cat litter, and is also the main ingredient of the fire extinguishers.

At 149 degrees Celsius, the bicarbonate of sodium starts to break down into sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide.
