Baking soda is magical!

There was an article online the other day about the many uses for baking soda. Fascinating stuff, I can't help it.

1. Toothpaste. Add a little peroxide for extra fizzy!

2. Mouthwash. Add a teaspoon to a glass of water, rinse and spit.

3. Facial scrub and exfoliant.

4. Deodorant, only I don't really want baking soda in my pits.

5. Treat insect bites and rashes with baking soda mixed with water.

6. Soak brushes and combs in a baking soda/water solution to get rid of gunk.

7. Clean floors, surfaces, etc. in your home.

8. Clean the terminals to batteries.

9. Boost your laundry detergent by adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to your wash.

10. Deodorize your fridge, yeah, but also your closet with a box of baking soda.

11. Litter boxes! I cover the bottom of the clean litter box with baking soda before adding fresh litter. It makes a difference.

12. Extinguish grease fires in the kitchen.

13. Use to clean vegetables.

14. And, after you've done all of those, make a cool baking soda/vinegar volcano. If you do it in the garbage disposal, it will clean as it fizzes.

All of this at fifty-five cents a box. Wow.
