The Power of Baking Soda


I marvel at all the wonderful uses of baking soda. It is not just for baking cookies or cake! There are so many ways to use baking soda…cooking, medical uses, personal hygiene, as a cleaning agent, etc. It can even be use to extinguish small grease or electrical fires. This stuff is magic!

Until the two years ago, my knowledge of the use of baking soda was only with baking.  Since I have become a housewife, I have used it to clean, to make a medical paste to pull out splinters, and remove grease stains in clothing!

Recently, I found out a new use for it…to take the stink away. At the end of a fun  summer day, my two boys feet smelled something fierce!  Knowing that their constant time in sandals was the cause, I did a little google search and discovered the key to taking away the sandal smell lay in baking soda! Sprinkle some on overnight and just brush it off in the morning. There should be less smell on the sandals. If one round does not work, repeat each night until successful.

If you are eager to know additional ways to use this wonderful tool… check out this list of 75 wonderful uses of baking soda! Thanks to the internet, I am continuing to expand my knowledge too!
