In the kitchen
The kitchen is the most likely place to find baking soda. Don't stop with using it for baking, though!
- A box or small bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator, freezer, or any cupboard will keep away unpleasant odors.
- Similarly, baking soda will keep away garbage odors; sprinkle the bottom of the pail, and then sprinkle again after you put a new bag in.
- To remove stale smells from food containers, rinse out with hot water and baking soda. If the smell persists, let the container soak overnight in the baking soda and water mixture.
- For burnt-on food in the bottom of pots, sprinkle with baking soda, then add hot water. Let soak overnight; the dried on food will come loose much more easily.
In the Bathroom
-
To help avoid clogged drains, pour 1 / 4 cup baking soda down weekly. Rinse through with hot water.
