Wellness cleaning agent

I do not use any other detergents to wash floors, windows, the gas range or the fan above it. When I clean the oil-covered hood over our stove, the rag becomes clean because the bicarbonate alkaline cleaner melts the oil. Strangely, I do not need to wear gloves. It does not attack the oil on my hands. I add Sesuki (the Japanese spelling) to all my laundry. Sesqui is the Japanese name for Sodium Carbonate Sodium (Sesquicarbonate Alkaline Cleaner is also among the names I found on eBay com). On Amazon.co.jp it costs 2000 yen for 2.5 kg. Two quarts of water to 1.5 tablespoons of Sesqui is a ratio that certainly beats any detergent. You know you have a concentrate when no more sesuki will dissolve in the water.

What amazes me is I can wash the oil from the fan above my stove easily. The rag I use to wash it is clean when I rinse the rag. Yet, my hands do not require gloves.

I even spray it on my veggies although the official government recommendation do not talk about using on food. Veggie wash is 30% of the concentrate that I make with water added to 60% water. I add one half cup of the concentrate to my laundry using half the amount of natural laundry soap. Often I spray it on the dirty part of my clothes and wash with laundry soap just for the clean smell effect of soap. When I wash the floors, I spray it first and then wipe the floor. For washing windows, it leaves a streak. But it is great for a first wipe down of the window.

Americans are still using baking powder as a detergent alternative and importing Sesuki from Japan at a much higher price.
