Baking Soda: Who knew?

I had no idea about all the uses for baking soda.  I use it as toothpaste or along with store bought toothpaste since my dad always used it.  I have also used it in a bath for my daughter when she was an infant and had diaper rash.  I am so adding this to my list to stock up on!!!!


Puts out fires
Use in your bath water to prevent being smelly but not having to use soap
Reduces acid reflux
Cooking/baking
Repel ants and roaches
Clean fresh fruits and veggies
Hand cleaner before you eat
Cleaning your cast iron pans
Toothpaste
Mouth Wash - to prevent gum and tooth issues
Underarms instead of deodorant
Prevents chaffing
In your boots to prevent chaffing, smelling, and blisters
Helps pull out splinters - make a paste, put over splinter, and cover. it will help it come out.

and probably many more I will still learn about. Once I do I will add it here. If you know of other uses feel free to leave them in the comments on this post.
