I use baking soda for cleaning:
bathtub, shower and sinks
microwaves
toaster
remove crayon from walls
removes tea and coffee stains from cups and teapots
polishes silver
removes scuffs from furniture
clean tennis shoes
trashcans
drains and garbage disposals
refrigerator
cleaning jewelry
putting out small kitchen fires
what I learned you can use soda for:
scrubs fruits and vegetables
can use as a face and body scrub
relief from insect bites
wipe windsheild to repel rain
improve smell of dishrags by soaking them in baking soda and waters
scatter around our vegetable garden to prevent rabbits from eating veggies
sweeten tomatoes by sprinklling baking soda on soil around tomato plants
put some under the sink to repel ants and roaches
things we always knew:
using as a deodorizer for refrigerator
works as an antacid
mixed with peroxide it can be used as toothpaste
I hope you found this to be helpful because as I was researching new uses for baking soda I was glad to find the tip about using it to clean fruits and vegetables and as a insect bite reliever. I know when I grab for an apple I always wonder if just rinsing it under running water really cleans it well enough to eat! And when my grandson appears with mosquito bites all over his little body I can just soak him in the bathwater with a cup of soda to ease the itching!
