though it's more expensive than the dri pak packets you get at wilko's. Our local wilkinsons had some in stock last week so they don't seem to have any problems getting stock.
I found with bicarb the stuff the chemist got for me was a lot more expensive than dri pak, perhaps because it was sold for internal use whereas th dri pak only lists cleaning uses.(?)

I got some in a Chinese supermarket

it was on the shelves along with foodstuffs

I saw it in Boots yesterday, near soda crystals etc.
It's used for cleaning things. If you put some of the powder on a damp cloth it's great for cleaning UPVC windowframes & doors - abrasive enough to remove dirt, but not to scratch the surface.

I'm lucky enough to always find it in my local Boots too.
