BAKING SODA REMEDIES
For a Cleaner Home, a Cleaner You
and a Cleaner Earth

The old baking soda remedies for smelly refrigerators or a stinky drain are well known but there are so many other uses for sodium bicarbonate! It's not only good for cooking but as an environmentally friendly household cleaner, ant repellent, natural beauty and health aid and a natural deodorizer.

HOUSEHOLD BAKING SODA USES

Run 1/4 cup dissolved in water through your coffee pot to clean and freshen then follow with a clean water cycle.

Run 1/2 cup through your dishwasher to clean stains and buildup.

Remove stains and clean your sinks, stove, oven, toilets and such by sprinkling baking soda on and wiping with a damp sponge. For tough stains make a paste with bs & water, then scrub.

Dump 1/3 cup baking soda down a drain or garbage disposal followed by hot water to clean & freshen. For a slow drain or clog try following the bs with vinegar, let it finish fizzing and follow with hot water.

Keep a box near the stove to put out grease or electrical fires.

A couple sprinkles in your garbage can will help keep odors down.

Ants will not cross a 2 inch border of baking soda. Keep them out!

Using 1/2 cup in the wash cycle is a great detergent booster!

Using 1/2 cup in the final rinse cycle deodorizes and softens clothes. Great for baby clothes!

Soak your feet in a basin of water with 3 tablespoons baking soda right before your self pedicure!

Put 1 teaspoon bs in a glass of water and use as a mouth rinse for a clean mouth and fresh breath.

BAKING SODA REMEDIES FOR HEALTH

For dogs afraid of thunderstorms you can try sprinkling baking soda along their spine right up to their head down to their tail. It's believed that some dogs are more sensitive to the static energy in the air during storms and baking soda is known to reduce static thus reducing their fear.

GARDEN
