Washing Soda: Soda Ash Crystallised from Hot Water
Washing soda is sodium carbonate crystallised with ten parts of water. George Fownes's chemistry manual (1856) makes it from soda ash: dissolve it in hot water, filter, and let it cool slowly; large clear crystals form. They turn to white powder in dry air, so keep them closed.
The picture: sodium carbonate crystals grown on a slide, seen through crossed polarisers.

Dissolve the soda ash
Dissolve the soda ash
Stir soda ash into hot water until no more dissolves. Fownes: the crystals dissolve in less than their own weight of boiling water.

Drain and store closed
Pour off the liquor and drain the crystals. Store them in a closed jar: in dry air they lose water and crumble to white powder.

The method is Fownes's; the quantities are ours. Washing soda is alkaline and irritates eyes and skin.
