What is Potassium Bicarbonate?
Potassium bicarbonate, or potash, is an alkaline substance, which means it has a neutralizing effect on acids and acidic odors, like garlic breath, stinky laundry, or expired leftovers, but it also has mild abrasive properties that can help scrub away contaminants on kitchen surfaces, yet it s gentle enough to exfoliate skin and soften dry feet. Not bad for a kitchen ingredient, but perhaps its greatest property is that it cleans and freshens without the chemical toxicity or harsh detergents of commercial products. It comes from the Earth itself, so there s no excuse to ignore this natural do-it-all powder.

It s a natural fungicide which is often used for organic gardening. Chemically, the compound is like common baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate), but the sodium is replaced with potassium, which is gentler on plants.
