Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Uses (Giveaway) #switchandsavechallenge

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Posted by Jolly Mom

Baking soda is without a doubt one of our favorite household products. It truly has a use for just about every part of your home--from baking to cleaning to beauty!



Here are some of our favorite ways to use baking soda...
  1. Sprinkle in your shoes to kill odor.
  2. Sprinkle it on your carpet a half hour to hour before you vacuum to freshen. Kills pet and other household odors.
  3. Mix it with a little bit of water to form a paste. Use the paste to soothe bug bites and other skin irritations.
  4. Keep a box of baking soda in your refrigerator to eliminate food odors.
  5. Keep a big box handy by the stove to extinguish fires.
  6. Soak your feet in a bowl of hot water and baking soda to soothe your feet at the end of a long day.
  7. Add a 1/2 cup of baking soda in your laundry to keep whites white.
  8. Combine it with 3% peroxide to use as toothpaste.
  9. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water and use it as a facial scrub or body exfoliant.
  10. Combine with hot water and distilled vinegar in a large bowl and soak sippy cup and bottle parts to get rid of odors.
  11. Make your own household cleaners.
  12. Get your combs and brushes clean by soaking them in a mixture of warm water, a couple of drops of shampoo, and a bit of baking soda.
  13. Sprinkle baking soda on a clean damp sponge and and use to safely and gently scrub bathroom tubs, sinks, tile, kitchen counter tops and cook tops.
  14. Baking soda can be used to clean fruits and veggies. Just mix with water and use to clean your produce. Rinse after cleaning.
  15. Add a couple of tablespoons to bath water to relieve skin irritations. Can be used in kid's baths too to relieve chicken pox, diaper rashes, etc.

    I clean my auto coffee maker by putting baking soda in the basket & run about a half pot of water thru. The baking soda is dissolved then run it again with the solution just made... Even if you currently use vinegar currently, they seem to clean differently so you'll be surprised (I know I was! But then... I have very hard water) I generally alternate between the 2... but NEVER mix... that would probably be very bad... lol

    I understand that baking soda is usually to make the cake ...
    but this time there is a difference in its use....
    I learned that baking soda can remove the smell....
    thanks for sharing info to the reader and I'll try it at home ....

    My favorite use of Arm & Hammer baking soda is to mix it in hot water and wash down the entire inside of my refrigerator once a month. I also keep an opened box of it in my refrigerator to absorb odors.

    I like to add a few drops of essential oils to baking soda and sprinkle it on my carpet. It's a great carpet freshener without all those nasty chemicals!
