Disclosed is an improved method of making chlorine and alkali metal hydroxide, e.g., sodium hydroxide, in an electrolytic cell of the type wherein a liquid permeable diaphragm separates the anolyte from the catholyte, said method comprising adding to the anolyte, while the cell is operating, a hydrated aluminum silicate containing clay mineral, followed by lowering the pH of the anolyte by the addition of an inorganic acid and maintaining the anolyte at said lowered pH for a time sufficient to restore the cell to a predetermined current efficiency.
