Clean your fruits, vegetables, and home with just one upcycled ingredient!

What's the difference between baking soda and 618 scallop powder?
Scallop powder has a higher pH than baking soda which means it is more resistant to oil and sebum stains. While both baking soda and scallop powder have strong deodorizing effects, scallop powder also has the ability to disinfect.
Baking soda particles are more coarse and abrasive, while scallop powder is much finer and safe for most surfaces.Why the name 618?
June 18th has been designated as "Scallop Day" in Aomori Prefecture, where the scallops are produced. "618" also represents the golden ratio (Fibonacci sequence), which is the pattern which nature grows upon so it also symbolizes harmony with nature.
