I mix 75% baking soda and mix 25% Citric Acid (from bulkfoods.com) to make my own Alka Seltzer. If I feel I need it I add an asprin or two. Saves a ton of money.
Wanted to let the readers know I buy the big cosco box of baking soda because I have Asthma and can't clean with chemicles(why would anyone choose to do this anyways, it so harmful) I make a paste with water and clean toilets, tubs. sinks. counters, floors, appliances, clothes, scrub pots and pans, coffee pot, cutting board, showers, tile, refrigerator, trash pail. I even sprinkle it on the carpet before vacuuming. What I use on glass is vinegar mixed with water. THESE are awesome products, and I save so much money.
Which reminds me of a great use I have for any insects I find in the house - get them to bite you (or any member of the family, for that matter) and then. hey presto, you have a great method for using up all your old baking soda.
Our daughter has learned at college to keep some baking soda in with her dirty clothes to help cut down on odors. The same thing works by sprinkling some into your laundry areas or hampers.
Baking soda on your toothbrush will remove stains from your teeth and keep your toothbrush fresh. Just pour some baking soda into your palm, wet your toothbrush with water and dip in the baking soda and brush, brush, brush! Removes coffee, tea, etc. stains and leaves your mouth feeling very fresh. Try it.
You can also use it as a cleaning mask for your face, make a paste of soda and water, spread evenly on your face, rub in little circles. Takes away blemishes, and makes your face very soft in the meantime
