I read an article a little over a year ago that gave some great ideas on what you can use baking soda for. I have used several of these ideas over the past 6 months and I can say, they really do work. Here are a few that I do that I want to share with you.
- Make a fluffy omelet by adding 1/2 tsp of baking soda to every 3 eggs.
- Pour 1 cup of baking soda into a clogged drain and follow by pouring 1 cup of hot vinegar. This really works. It will unclog your drain. Plus it is fun to watch as it bubbles.
- Sprinkle baking soda on your cracks in your sidewalk. This helps keep the weeds from growing in the cracks.
- Deodorant for the dog. I put baking soda in a old salt shaker and sprinkle on the fur and rub it in. This acts as a deodorizer.
- Polish your silver and gold jewelry with a paste that is made with water and baking soda.
- Fill your dishwasher detergent wells with baking soda and run a cycle to clean your dishwasher.
- Soak your toothbrushes in a mixture of 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup baking soda and let them soak overnight. This is one of my favorite ones. It makes your toothbrush so clean. Also extends the life of your toothbrush.
Baking soda is so cheap at the stores, but it has a world of uses that cut cost. It cuts cost because you don’t have buy expensive cleaners or deodorizers.
I have also found a site that shares more ways to use baking soda and also offers coupons. Click here.

Does the baking soda for clogged drains work if there is water in the sink? Have you ever used it in your garbage disposal? Just curious. I hope you and your sweet family are doing well.
