I think you mean sodium carbonate.

That's what I use.

Make your own sodium carbonate: just cook baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) spread out on a sheet pan in the oven for 1 hr at 250-300 deg F.

Store vacuum sealed if possible, or tightly closed in a screw top jar. Sodium carbonate is hygroscopic and reverts back to baking soda if it absorbs enough water from the air.
