Washing soda - Sentakusoda (English spelling)

It is also called crystalline soda or salt. It is usually sodium carbonate decahydrate ( Na2CO310H2O ), but it can also contain monohydrate or a double salt with sodium bicarbonate ( sesquicarbonate ) ( Na2CO3NaHCO32H2O ). It dissolves more easily in water than the anhydrous fine powder, i.e. soda ash, and is used for cleaning cotton and wool, as well as washing animal fibers.
