BAKING SODA
~
Some people thought baking soda was just for baking, however,when I learned how it freshened, I began dumping theBaking Soda down my drain and I was completed converted tothe wonders of this "Miracle product".
Diaper Pail or Garbage smells?No worries, pour a little baking soda in thebottom and just keep it there.
Mishaps on the sofa, and it doesn't quite smell fresh and clean?Sprinkle just a tad in between the cushions and it will freshenwith in a day or two. Then vacuum up the remnants.
Baking Powder Substitute: Since we all know to bake with it,did you know you can substitute it for baking powder bymixing it with cream of tartar or vinegar?
Produce Wash: More and more pesticides and wax are added toour produce. Fill your sink with water and wash fruits andvegetables with baking soda.
Clean and Freshen Drain:I've used a Baking Soda and vinegar rinse for cleaning my drains,as well as keeping the septic balanced for years.
Clogged Drains:I pour baking soda to fill the drain hole, pour in a couple cups of vinegarand let it bubble. Leave sit for a time (30 minutes?) and let the fizzyreaction do its work then flush with hot water. Repeat if necessary.
Clean Shiny Sink and bathtub: I love the thought of a sparkling cleansink. It's still a goal that is made easy with just a bit of elbow grease,water and my baking soda paste. The same goes for our bathtub, but witha little dedication, the rings and gunk comes right off, andI've tried many cleaners.
"Degunk" Washing Machine: I use one cup of baking soda andone cup of white vinegar in the washing machine to degunk itfrom detergent and such. Just run through the washing cycle once by itself.
Coffee Pot Cleaner: Similar to rinsing the washing machine,do the same for the coffee pot. Add 1/4-cup baking soda to one quart ofwarm water and scrub those nasty stains away. I always just let it soakover night and then wipe clean in morning.
Stove Top Cleaning:Three of us shared Baking Soda's wonders on cleaning stove tops."I had liquid from cooking on the stove top that was blackened andIMPOSSIBLE to get out. Used baking soda with a little water on a paper toweland voila, it was gone!!!! So excited!!! " It is my favorite thing to clean mystove top! I ruined my last stovetop by using abrasive cleaners to getthe grime off. Not anymore! Baking soda is strong enough tomake is sparkle without leaving a scratch!
Cleaning Outside Grill: Scrub baking soda paste mixture on thegrate to cut through the grease, as well as on all the metal parts.The grease comes off fabulously.
Home Deodorizer:While I store my baking soda in quite little mason or glass jars,someone took me one step further by sharing that you can add afew drops of essential oils to your baking soda andit makes a fabulous deodorizer.
Clean Burned Pans:If you don't want to spend all day scrubbing, put baking soda withenough water to cover the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil forabout fifteen minutes. It will begin loosening the food untilyou can clean with greater ease.
If there's just a bit of burned food, make a thick paste of baking sodaand water, and use it to scrub. Works on both enameledcast iron and stainless steel pans.
Chrome:If you have some chrome that needs polishing, use dry baking sodaon a dry clean soft cloth. It will make your chrome sparkle.A friend's table has chrome legs and uses this method tokeep the legs shining and looking like new.

Foot/Shoe Deodorizer:Every single one of our sons' shoes have baking soda sprinkledin them. I wish I was joking about this, but it's true.
Drawers:Sometimes when I buy secondhand furniture there might be odd odors.I regularly sprinkle baking soda in the drawers and it freshens tremendously.I now do this in my sons' dresser drawers as well, just because.
Toothpaste:I first started using baking soda to clean and whiten my teeth backin high school. I don't use it daily, but whenever I see coffee stains pop up,it's baking soda to the rescue. I wet my toothbrush and dip it into mylittle baggie of baking soda and scrub. It tastes horrible, but workswonders. Even my teens are hooked on this natural remedy as well.Many of my friends only use water and baking soda, but ask yourdentist because it may be too abrasive for daily cleaning.

Clean Brushes and Combs:Our hair leaves a lot of oils on our brushes, but a simple soakin water and baking soda will freshen them back like new.
Facial and Body Scrub:Corrine shares, "My favorite thing to use baking soda for is as afacial scrub. Because the ph is different than our skin, it makes the skinrefresh itself. My skin feels as smooth as a baby's behind when I'm done.Then for a little coconut oil and my face is happy! Another shares,I mix baking soda and lemon juice and keep it in a jar in my bathroom forwashing my face. It keeps my face clean and removes blackheads."

Hand Odour:If you have strong stubborn smells on your hands,rub them with baking soda and water.
Dry Shampoo:Most salons now offer a "designer" version of dry shampoo to allowyou to go a few days between washes. Why not try baking soda first?Pour a small amount in the palm of your hand and apply to scalp androots of hair. It absorbs oil, freshens hair, and also boosts your shampoothe next time you wash in the shower! Shampoo: The "No-Poo" movement isout in full force. Many of my readers and friends echo this praise,"I use it instead of shampoo, then rinse with mild vinegar shampoo.I made the switch about 3 years ago, and my wavy hair has done SO much better"less frizz {and this in SC and TX!} and more definition. Plus, I can go longerbetween cuts because the ends don't split and dry out nearlyas quickly. And it's dirt cheap!
First Aid Kid:"I keep a small Ziploc of baking soda in my glove box first aid kit.If anyone gets stung by a bee or steps into a pile of fire ants, I mixthe baking soda with a little bit of water to form a paste.Spreading the paste onto the bite/sting seems to sooth the pain."

Jellyfish Stings:Keep a little container of white vinegar + a baggie of baking sodain my beach bag. A local EMT told me about it, and sure enough, it works.More than once, I've come to the aid of a stranger with a screamingchild with just those two little things. It really works!
Heartburn:A little dissolved in water, gulp it down (because it tastes terrible!) andheartburn is gone almost instantly, and won't come back for days!Which is great, because I get a LOT of heartburn! Works MUCHbetter than any over-the-counter antacid meds!

You can also use it to "dry clean" your stinky dog.Sprinkle baking soda liberally all over the dog, massage into the coat,then brush it out. It pulls out the dirt and grease in the coat and leavesthe dog smelling fresh. Works great in the winter when you don't wantto get the dog all wet with a bath and it's great since it's non-toxic. Asan added bonus, do this to your dog on your wood floor and thensweep up the baking soda, it will leave your floors clean.
Decorating Christmas Tree to give "fake snow look":Sift on the Christmas Tree to make it look like a light snow fell onthe branches. It's not harmful to people or pets, and helps with theworry of the tree catching on fire. Not only that, but it keeps theair fresh, as well as carpet. It's easy to vacuum when taking down the tree.It can also can be used on artificial trees, and it's much prettier thanthe sprayed on snow and safer. Go Green!
