Ever wonder about sodium bicarbonate A.K.A baking soda??? There are over 50 well known uses for this household product! Baking soda is a great substitute for personal care products and any cleaning products. Here are 10 great uses I know of for sodium bicarbonate:
- Funky Smelling Fridge: Baking soda is known to neutralize any acidic smells... like those funky smells in your fridge!! The baking soda soaks up those yucky smells. Just put a box of baking soda on one of the shelves in your fridge! Smells should be gone in no time!
- Laundry: Sprinkle some in your washer after you pour your detergent in. Baking soda maintains the neutral pH in your detergent and water. It gives a nice little boost to your detergent.
- Toothpaste: Want to boost your pearly whites?? Baking soda is great for your teeth and the enamel in your teeth. You could go as far as making your own toothpaste but what I do is dip my toothbrush in a little bit of baking soda after I put my toothpaste on. And brush away!!! Remember... not too hard! Also another great way to make your teeth appear whiter is by wearing red lipstick!! Shh.. it's a secret!
- Facial Exfoliator: Mix 3 parts baking soda to 1 part H2O!!! Mix together and apply to your beautiful face in a circular motion!!
- Heartburn: Burn no more!!! On your baking soda box there should be some instructions and how to mix it to get rid of heartburn!!
- Hand Cleanser: Mix some baking soda in with your hand soap!! Rub on your hands and rinse with warm water. Moisturize after.
- Clarifying Shampoo: Got some residue or gunk on your hair? Mix some baking soda with your shampoo and lather up! If your hair is colored reduce the amount of baking soda you mix in.
- Clean Your Make Up Brushes: NO DIRTY BRUSHES ALOUD! Mix a teaspoon or so with luke warm water and soak your brushes. Rinse and allow to dry.
- Treat Your Feet: Dissolve 3 tablespoons of baking soda to a tub of warm water. Scrub away!!
- Clean the Rust off Your Car Battery: Now, I wouldn't normally know this but I saw my boyfriend use this on my car battery. What he did was mix lemon and baking soda and rubbed the battery with a cotton swab! It left my battery looking brand new and cleaned all the residue off!! Be sure to disconnect the battery before.
