oh Baking Soda, I never knew how much I needed you
I've been using backing soda for so many cleaning tasks this last week: pee in carpet, pee on wooden floors, toilets, baths, sink, drain, and stove. Oh and apple cake and cookies. What do you use it for?
I've used it for many a cleaning trick as well... I always have a BIG box of Arm and Hammer on hand. I've even used it to make my laundry detergent when I ran out of washing soda. Worked like a charm. Ever used it to pull oil or grease stains out of clothes? Mix a little with water to make a paste, rub it on, through in washer. Voila! Oh and bread and pancakes this week :)
I just ran out of tea tree oil for my baking soda/dishsoap/oil mixture for scrubbing the bathrooms! I'm wanting to add it to laundry some time to test if it really freshens the clothing (or was that vinegar?). I actually bought the giant box of baking soda @ the grocery store and ran out in a month! I _never_ ran out of the stuff before!
I've not tried it on pee but I do use it for the other stuff you mentioned. It also makes a suitable substitute for toothpaste though not very yummy.

ReplyDeleteWe make volcanoes all the time over here. :) and I use it for the tub. Vinegar is my go to cleaner which works out great for the volcanoes.
ReplyDeletei'm going to have to try that grease trick, amanda.
