Baking soda is great for keeping your mouth clean. It can replace your toothpaste and your mouthwash. For toothpaste, simply dip your toothbrush in the baking soda and brush your teeth as normal. For mouthwash, mix 1 teaspoon in a 8oz. glass of water. Then swish in your mouth for about 30 seconds, spit, and rinse with plain water.
2. Deodorant
Baking soda is often the main ingredient in homemade deodorant. It can also be used straight up by itself.
3. Exfoliate
Mix three parts baking soda with one part water and you have a all narural exfoliant at home.
4. Air freshener
You use it to freshen up the air in your fridge. Why not for the rest of the house? Simply add a few drops of essential oils to your box of baking soda and viola. Replace once a month or as needed.
5. Polish the silver
Baking soda is very hardy and tough on those tough cleaning messes. On the other hand it is very gentle. Use a 3 part baking soda and 1 part water paste with a clean cloth or sponge, rub it on, and rinse and dry. No chemicals needed.
6. Clean those lovely childrens' crayon drawings off the wall.
All you need for this is to dip a damp cloth in the baking soda and rub it on. Once cleaned, rub a clean dry cloth over the wall for a final clean polish.
7. Keep storage closets fresh odor free
Just like your refridgerator, all you need is one open box and replace it monthly.
8. No Kitty poo
When you sprinkle some baking soda in the litter box, it will neutralize any ordors coming from kitty's business.
9. Clean the fixtures
If you have hard water buildup on your water fixtures, you can use baking soda to get rid of that. Just scrub it on and rinse it off with a spritz of vinegar.
10. Clean your washer
Yes appliances that clean need to be cleaned too. I like to add 3 cups of baking soda to a full large load of nothing but water. Then during the rinse cycle I add 3 cups of vinegar. This will scrub the tub, agitator, drain hoses and every nook and cranny with little to no work on my part.
