Probably Washing Soda - Sodium Carbonate. I do the same, but I don't boil it, I use a bucket heater from tractor Supply. I think I've posted a photo here of how well it works. Cleans that old black flathead gunk right off. I use TASC, it's washing soda mixed with surfactants and detergents and etc, but you can use straight washing soda to good effect.
