Uses for Baking Soda in the Home

I’m sure you’re all familiar with that little orange box that is mostly used in your fridge for sucking in odours and keeping that fridge fresh. It’s the one constant in my fridge at all times! Yet many also have one in their freezer or baking cupboard too. Fact is, Arm & Hammer™ Baking Soda has been helping generations of Canadian families cook and clean for decades.

Previously, I shared a post on ‘55 Uses for Baking Soda‘ {check it out if you aren’t familiar}.

As well, the team at Arm & Hammer – with the help of their loyal fans – have come up with more than 100 uses for baking soda and I’m sharing some of the favourites from their collection on this post- with a giveaway for my readers too!

Uses for Baking Soda in the Home {with Giveaway}

 

  • Baby, baby, baby. Baking soda is an all-natural cleaning product that’s gentle enough for even the tiniest baby clothes, yet effective enough for big baby odours. It can be used to treat spills on carpets, clean equipment and toys, deodorize baby bottles and diaper pails as well as freshen stuffed animals to give them a new life.

 

  • Have you tried it in the bathroom? It helps remove the dirt and grime from bathroom tiles or no-wax floors quickly and easily. It’s also effective at cleaning shower curtains, deodorizing drains and wastebaskets, surface-safe cleaning and for septic system care.

 

  • Not just for cooking in the kitchen. Yes, Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is a staple baking ingredient as it causes dough or batter to rise, becoming light and porous when heated, but it can also be used in the kitchen to clean lunch boxes, microwave ovens, dishes, pots and pans, recyclables, drains and garbage disposals. Did I mention it removes odours from plastic containers, polishes silver, freshens sponges and stinky sinks, refreshes tea pots, cups and mugs and works great as a fruit and vegetable scrub? It’s also a common deodorizer for fridges and freezers. Changing the box regularly (every 30 days is recommended) helps ensure optimal odour elimination.

 

  • Don’t fret about your floors. It helps remove unsightly scuff marks without unwanted scratch marks from tile and no-wax floors. It’s also great at neutralizing common household odours and freshens stale-smelling air in your home.

 

  • Tackles the greasiest of garages. Arm & HammerBaking Soda safely cleans your car lights, chrome, windows, tires, vinyl seats and floor mats without you having to worry about unwanted scratch marks. It’s also a great deodorizer for car interiors and camper water tanks and tackles oil and grease stains on your garage floor or driveway.

 

  • Smelly gear no more. Use Arm & Hammer baking soda to clean and deodorize smelly sports equipment like hockey or camping gear, as well as gym bags.

 

  • Don’t forget to take it outside. It is a must-have for your next camping trip! It’s a dish and pot scrubber, hand cleanser and deodorant, just to name a few. It also cleans your plastic and vinyl pool toys as well as lawn furniture when it’s time to bring them out for the summer and works wonders on barbecue grills.

 

And that’s not all!

Because of the gentle and all natural formula of Arm & Hammer™ Baking Soda, it’s a popular personal hygiene product for many. It can be used as a body and facial scrub, hand cleanser and a refreshing bath soak. It also helps to fight bad breath and body odour and is great for washing hair.

For a full list of these 100 uses of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and usage instructions, visit www.armandhammer.ca. You’ll find them under the ‘Solutions’ tab.

    If you have an RV pour a box of baking soda down into the grey water tank, fill it up, let sit overnight and drain. Great way to get rid of any smells from all the soap scum, food bits etc that get washed down there.

    A little on a sponge or rag and some water and it will remove the black(carbon) from any flame source. We used it on our cooking gear that we use when we go camping.

    Baking soda is my secret weapon against litterbox odours – I sprinkle it in the bottom of my cat’s litterbox every time I change the litter and it not only helps prevent odours, but it also coats the bottom of the box in a way that helps stop urine building up on the bottom of the box.

    For insect bites, make a paste out of baking soda and water then apply to skin. To ease the itch, shake some baking soda into your hand and rub it into damp skin after bath/shower.
