The many uses of baking soda


This stuff goes way beyond baking. Check it out!


There are so many uses for this stuff that it is hard to fit them all in one article!


-Clean brushes and combs:  Washing your grooming tools with a solution of water and baking soda will help to remove oil buildup and product residue that has accumulated over time.  There is no way you want to keep putting gunk in your hair when you brush or comb it.

-Non toxic toothpaste:  Mix some baking soda with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide, and peppermint oil for a natural, poison free brushing.  You can also add a drop of stevia extract or a sprinkle of powdered stevia to sweeten it up just a bit.

-Deodorize trash cans:  Prevent that seeping odor that comes from the trash can after a few uses by sprinkling some baking soda in the bottom of it.

-Bee stings:  Apply a paste of baking soda and water to your sting to help naturally relieve pain and inflammation.

-Block pests:  Line the bottoms of doors, windows, sinks, plugs, and other potential pathways to discourage ants and roaches from crossing into your domain.

-Deodorize shoes:  Do you use and abuse your shoes?  Sprinkle some baking soda in them to neutralize odors and keep your shoes from kicking when you are not wearing them.

-Dish cloths:   Remove the funk from that much used dish cloth by soaking it in a baking soda and water solution.

-Deodorize cat boxes:  Sprinkle some baking soda in your furry friend's litter box to help combat the persistent pet odor.

-Protect your garden:  Apply some baking soda to the areas around your vegetable garden to repel rabbits.

-Repel rain:  Applying a baking soda solution to your windshield can help to repel rain.

-Jelly fish:  If you have been stung by a jelly fish, you can apply baking soda to the surface of the injury to help draw out the venom.
