NATURAL USES FOR BAKING SODA

Baking Soda is used for many different things like cleaning. My dear old grandmother and mother use to use baking soda all the time as some of the children in our family use to get allergies so they liked to use natural things around our house. Let me share some of the things Baking Soda was used for in our house.

A Handful of Baking Soda

This is an excellent way of putting out small fires that may happen accidently with clothes, rugs and carpets.

Clean Teeth

Brush your teeth then add a little bit of Baking Soda to your brush to get your teeth extra white. Make sure you only do this 3 times a month.

Washing Clothes

Use natural washing powder and a little Baking Soda to washing cycle to take out tough stains.

Baking Soda for cleaning containers

Make a paste and clean your food and drink containers.

Baking Soda used for many things

Baking Soda is used around the house to clean just about everything such as toilets, counters, sinks, showers and even the garbage bins.

Baking Soda for Getting Rid of Smells

Baking Soda is good for getting rid of smells in the refrigerater. I have a lovely little container I fill up with baking Soda after I have cleaned my refrigerater out and I sit it in the back of my refrigerater and it keeps it smelling really fresh.

Sunburn

To relieve minor burns make a paste out of Baking Soda and water and apply to burn.

Gargle

Make a gargle out of Baking Soda and water and if you like you can add a little drop of peppermint oil making sure you gargle and spit out do not swallow it. This freshens breath and also heals sores.

Bug Bites

Baking Soda is good to use on bites such as bee, wasp and ant bites for quicker healing.

Smooth Skin

Make a paste out of Baking Soda and water and apply to your face carefully to avoid eyes and mouth and leave the paste on for 5 minutes then wash it off. Your face will be softer after you have done this.
