Review: Seems good. - I don’t have experience of another so can’t make a judgement, however, it does the job.

## Features

- Causes serious eye irritation.
- ENHANCES COLOUR RETENTION: Pre-soaking natural fibres like cotton, linen, or rayon in this soda ash solution prepares the fabric for optimal dye absorption. This process creates a stronger chemical bond between the dye and the material, which significantly improves colourfastness and reduces fading after rinsing, ensuring your patterns remain vivid.
- ACTIVATES FIBRE REACTIVE DYES: Soda ash, or sodium carbonate, alters the pH level of the water and fabric, creating the necessary alkaline environment for fibre reactive dyes to work effectively. It serves as the activator that allows the dye molecules to permanently attach to the cellulose fibres of your garment, which is an essential step for achieving deep, saturated colours.
- ESSENTIAL FOR MULTIPLE DYEING TECHNIQUES: This dye fixer is a fundamental component for various fabric dyeing methods beyond just tie-dye. Use it to prepare your fabrics for immersion dyeing, Shibori, ice dyeing, and batik. Its consistent granular form dissolves easily in water, creating a reliable pre-soak solution for all your creative textile projects on natural plant-based fibres.
- SIMPLE PREPARATION FOR DYEING: Achieve consistent results by simply dissolving the soda ash in warm water according to the package instructions to create your fixative solution. Submerge your chosen cotton, linen, or other cellulose-based fabrics in the mixture before applying dye. This straightforward pre-treatment step takes the guesswork out of preparing your materials.
- CONVENIENT 1 LB SUPPLY: This 1 lb (454g) package provides a generous amount of soda ash for multiple dyeing projects. The resealable container ensures the powder stays dry and effective for future use. This quantity offers great utility for hobbyists and frequent dyers alike, ensuring you have this critical component on hand for your next project.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much cotton cloth will this fix? Is it enough for a single bed sized Duvet cover and pillowcase?**
A: Yes, you get 1 lb I think, I usually make up approx 1 gallon/12 litres with this much and it covers that much fabric

**Q: Would this solution make permanent an image printed onto fabric & could that fabric be washed?**
A: Unsure, if using fiber reactive dyes then yes, otherwise I don’t know

**Q: What is the actual product composition? Trying to work out if this is just sodium carbonate (does it have anything else in it?).**
A: It’s sodium carbonate only

**Q: Can you put it in the washing machine?**
A: Fabric needs a longer soak than a washing machine would give.
