I really don't remember seeing "pesusooda" anywhere... but of course I haven't been looking previously . It's going to be an interesting conversation when I ask someone in the supermarket for it (in my half-assed Finnish).
"Do you have pesusooda?"
"What's that?"
"It's.. erm.. sooda... for washing."
"Ah, you want to wash clothes?"
"No I want to use electrolysis to remove rust and old paint from engine components."
"Erm....."
