Toothpaste. Yup, that’s why it’s added to so many toothpastes as well. It’s a great whitener and soft abrasive for cleaning teeth. The taste leaves something to be desired, but it works just the same.
Odor Absorber. It’s not going to make your house linen fresh, but it will pull that old musty or moldy smell out of your refrigerator, cooler and carpets. You can also sprinkle it in your shoes to eliminate odors. Soak your musty sponges and dishrags in Baking Soda and water to refresh them.
Cleanser. Use it on your counters to help remove dirt and food remains. The abrasiveness will work similar to a scrub like Comet or Soft Scrub.
Fire Extinguisher. It’s a recommended agent for putting out small grease fires in the kitchen, it will smother the flames. (Reminder: NEVER throw water on a grease fire, it just spreads the grease out and makes it worse.)
First Aid. It will reduce itching and pain from bug bites and stings and relieves sunburn when you make a paste of it with water. It also soften skin when added to a bath. You can also add a teaspoon of Baking Soda to 4oz of water to use as an antacid.
What else do you use Baking Soda for?
