One of the most common questions we see is How to Make Soda Ash for Tie Dye, and the answer is actually very simple! You probably have everything you need already in your house. To make soda ash for tie dye, just take baking soda and heat it to 300 degrees F for an hour! Both baking soda and soda ash are made up of sodium and carbon. Heating baking soda releases carbon dioxide and water vapor which leaves behind just Sodium Carbonate. Sodium Carbonate, or soda ash, is a mild alkali that is used to increase pH levels. Although its chemical make-up is very similar to baking soda, soda ash can increase pH levels nearly three times more than the same amount of baking soda. A higher pH level is required for reactive dyes to bond with the fabric. The soda ash activates the fixing step which allows those dyes to bond. Many natural dyes and pigments will just coat the outside of the fabric and wash out or fade over time. Reactive dyes create a chemical bond with the fabric which allows the color to remain bright.
