Tuesday’s Tip - The Many Uses of Baking Soda

Last week we talked about white vinegar. This age old versatile ingredient led me to another one – Baking Soda. It’s just as versatile as vinegar, a lot kinder to the environment than many modern harsh chemicals and just as effective. And it’s a lot cheaper, too.

Here are some applications for this useful products:

  • Deodorize your fridge and freezer by putting in an open container of baking soda to absorb odours. Stir and turn over the soda from time to time. Replace every 2 months.
  • To remove stubborn stains from marble, formica or plastic surfaces, scour with a paste of soda and water.
  • Polish silverware with dry soda on a damp cloth. Rub, rinse and dry.
  • To relieve sunburn: use a paste of baking soda and water.
