5 Ways to Use Baking Soda For a Fresher, Cleaner Home and You

1. For fresher, cleaner clothes add one cup baking soda with liquid laundry detergent to improve your detergents performance.

2. For scratchless cleaning, scrub away stains and grease without scratching surfaces for sinks, refrigerators, pots and pans, counter tops, coffee pots, stainless steel, ovens and china.

3. Use in the bathroom to safely remove tough stains and lift off dirt and soap scum in your sink, shower, counter tops, toilets, tubs , tile and grout.

4. For household deodorizing use baking soda to absorb and eliminate odors in garbage pails, litter boxes, carpets, dishwasher between uses, garbage disposals and drains.  To clean a clogged drain, put 1/4 cup baking soda down the drain and add a cup of white vinegar and watch it bubble while dissolving hair and scum.  Wait a few minutes and run hot water down the drain.  Wa-la, a clear drain.

5. For personal and natural care add 1/2 cup of baking soda into your tub for a refreshing bath and foot soak.  For fuller, more manageable hair, add one teaspoon of baking soda to your shampoo, once a week.  For an invigorating, gentle facial scrub after washing your face, apply a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water and gently move it in a circular motion.  Avoid the eye area.  Rinse with tepid water for a fresh, clean face.  Consult with your doctor and pharmacist before using and never administer to children under 5.  If you have questions about Arm and Hammer Baking Soda, call 1.800.534.1328, 8a-5p, est.
