Magadi soda ash (sodium carbonate) is a key ingredient in detergents because it softens water by removing calcium and magnesium ions, which allows the detergent to clean more effectively. It also acts as a builder to enhance cleaning power, helps remove greasy, oily, and protein-based stains, and maintains an optimal alkaline pH for removing dirt and preventing its re-deposition. Additionally, it serves as a filler in powder detergents to give them bulk.
