More Previous postThe Humble Oatmeal, Pesticides and Another Link to Diabetes Next postNatural Remedies for Pinkeye (Conjunctivitis) . 51 Amazing Uses for Baking Soda 39.9k Share 472 Share Share 8.67k Share 1.05k Share Share Share By Melissa Breyer I don’t mean to sound seditious here, but I have a rebellious plan to combat the ills that many corporations are perpetrating in the name of fighting grime and germs. My main gripe is about the environmental pollutants from cleaning and personal care products that we wash down our drains and into our water systems, resulting in situations like the chemical triclosan (a pesticide added to many products as an antibacterial agent) being found in dolphins. So the simple plan is to encourage everyone to use baking soda in any of these 51 applications. Besides showing kindness to aquatic life, we can also protect ourselves from the array of toxins in household cleaning products. Conventional cleansers can expose us to multiple chemicals linked to asthma, cancer, and other documented health problems. Baking soda also makes a perfect stand-in for many personal care products, which are adding their own twist to the toxic tangle of pollutants and personal health (mainly in the form of synthetic fragrance (and it’s almost all synthetic), sodium laurel sulfate, and parabens). So exactly how does baking soda fit into my scheme to make the world a better place? Baking soda, aka sodium bicarbonate, helps regulate pH—keeping a substance neither too acidic nor too alkaline. When baking soda comes in contact with either an acidic or an alkaline substance, it’s natural effect is to neutralize that pH. Beyond that, baking soda has the ability to retard further changes in the pH balance, known as buffering. This dual capability of neutralizing and buffering allows baking soda to do things such as neutralize acidic odors (like in the refrigerator) as well as maintain neutral pH (like in your laundry water, which helps boost your detergent’s power). It’s a simple reaction, but one that has far-reaching effects for a number of cleaning and deodorizing tasks. And so without further ado, I’ll remove my scientist cap, put on my rebellious housekeeper’s cap, and get this folk-wisdom revolution rolling… Personal Care 1. Make Toothpaste A paste made from Baking soda and a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution can be used as an alternative to commercial non-fluoride toothpastes. (Or here’s a formula for a minty version.) You can also just dip your toothbrush with toothpaste into baking soda for an extra boost. 2. Freshen Your Mouth Put one teaspoon in half a glass of water, swish, spit and rinse. Odors are neutralized, not just covered up. 3. Soak Oral Appliance Soak oral appliances, like retainers, mouthpieces, and dentures, in a solution of 2 teaspoons baking soda dissolved in a glass or small bowl of warm water. The baking soda loosens food particles and neutralizes odors to keep appliances fresh. You can also brush appliances clean using baking soda. 4. Use as a Facial Scrub and Body Exfoliant Give yourself an invigorating facial and body scrub. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate the skin. Rinse clean. This is gentle enough for daily use. (For a stronger exfoliant, try one of these great 5 Homemade Sugar Scrubs.) 5. Skip Harsh Deodorant Pat baking soda onto your underarms to neutralize body odor. 6. Use as an Antacid Baking soda is a safe and effective antacid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach and/or acid indigestion. Refer to baking soda package for instructions. 7. Treat Insect Bites & Itchy Skin For insect bites, make a paste out of baking soda and water, and apply as a salve onto affected skin. To ease the itch, shake some baking soda into your hand and rub it into damp skin after bath or shower. For specific tips on bee stings, see Bee Stings: Prevention and Treatment. 8. Make a Hand Cleanser and Softener Skip harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt and neutralize odors on hands with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water, or 3 parts baking soda to gentle liquid hand soap. Then rinse clean. You can try this honey and cornmeal scrub for hands too. 9. Help Your Hair Vinegar is amazing for your hair, but baking soda has its place in the shower too. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into your palm along with your favorite shampoo. Shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly–baking soda helps remove the residue that styling products leave behind so your hair is cleaner and more manageable. 10. Clean Brushes and Combs For lustrous hair with more shine, keep brushes and combs clean. Remove natural oil build-up and hair product residue by soaking combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a small basin of warm water. Rinse and allow to dry. 11. Make a Bath Soak Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your bath to neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration, it also makes your skin feel very soft. Epsom salts are pretty miraculous for the bath too, read about the health benefits of epsom salt baths. 12. Soothe Your Feet Dissolve 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a tub of warm water and soak feet. Gently scrub. You can also make a spa soak for your feet. Cleaning 13. Make a Surface Soft Scrub For safe, effective cleaning of bathroom tubs, tile and sinks–even fiberglass and glossy tiles–sprinkle baking soda lightly on a clean damp sponge and scrub as usual. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. For extra cleaning power, make a paste with baking soda, course salt and liquid dish soap—let it sit then scour off. 14. Handwash Dishes and Pots & Pans Add 2 heaping tablespoons baking soda (along with your regular dish detergent) to the dish water to help cut grease and foods left on dishes, pots and pans. For cooked-on foods, let them soak in the baking soda and detergent with water first, then use dry baking soda on a clean damp sponge or cloth as a scratchless scouring powder. Using a dishwasher? Try these energy saving tips. 15. Freshen Sponges Soak stale-smelling sponges in a strong baking soda solution to get rid of the mess (4 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in 1 quart of warm water). For more thorough disinfecting, use the microwave. 16. Clean the Microwave Baking soda on a clean damp sponge cleans gently inside and outside the microwave and never leaves a harsh chemical smell. Rinse well with water. 17. Polish Silver Flatware Use a baking soda paste made with 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub onto the silver with a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry for shining sterling and silver-plate serving pieces. 18. Clean Coffee and Tea Pots Remove coffee and tea stains and eliminate bitter off-tastes by washing mugs and coffee makers in a solution of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. For stubborn stains, try soaking overnight in the baking soda solution and detergent or scrubbing with baking soda on a clean damp sponge. 19. Clean the Oven Sprinkle baking soda onto the bottom of the oven. Spray with water to dampen the baking soda. Let sit overnight. In the morning, scrub, scoop the baking soda and grime out with a sponge, or vacuum, and rinse. 20. Clean Floors Remove dirt and grime (without unwanted scratch marks) from no wax and tile floors using 1/2 cup baking soda in a bucket of warm water–mop and rinse clean for a sparkling floor. For scuff marks, use baking soda on a clean damp sponge, then rinse. Read Natural Floor Cleaning for more tips on avoiding toxic floor cleaners. 21. Clean Furniture You can make a homemade lemon furniture polish, or you can clean and remove marks (even crayon) from walls and painted furniture by applying baking soda to a damp sponge and rubbing lightly. Wipe off with a clean, dry cloth. 22. Clean Shower Curtains Clean and deodorize your vinyl shower curtain by sprinkling baking soda directly on a clean damp sponge or brush. Scrub the shower curtain and rinse clean. Hang it up to dry. 23. Boost Your Liquid Laundry Detergent Give your laundry a boost by adding ½ cup of baking soda to your laundry to make liquid detergent work harder. A better balance of pH in the wash gets clothes cleaner, fresher, and brighter. 24. Gently Clean Baby Clothes Baby skin requires the most gentle of cleansers, which are increasingly available, but odor and stain fighters are often harsh. For tough stains add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your liquid laundry detergent, or a 1/2 cup in the rinse cycle for deodorization. 25. Clean Cloth Diapers Dissolve ½ cup of baking soda in 2 quarts of water and soak diapers thoroughly. 26. Clean and Freshen Sports Gear Use a baking soda solution (4 tablespoons Baking soda in 1 quart warm water) to clean and deodorize smelly sports equipment. Sprinkle baking soda into golf bags and gym bags to deodorize, clean golf irons (without scratching them!) with a baking soda paste (3 parts Baking sodato 1 part water) and a brush. Rinse thoroughly. 27. Remove Oil and Grease Stains Use Baking soda to clean up light-duty oil and grease spills on your garage floor or in your driveway. Sprinkle baking soda on the spot and scrub with a wet brush. 28. Clean Batteries Baking soda can be used to neutralize battery acid corrosion on cars, mowers, etc. because its a mild alkali. Be sure to disconnect the battery terminals before cleaning. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water, apply with a damp cloth to scrub corrosion from the battery terminal. After cleaning and re-connecting the terminals, wipe them with petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion. Please be careful when working around a battery–they contain a strong acid. 29. Clean Cars Use baking soda to clean your car lights, chrome, windows, tires, vinyl seats and floor mats without worrying about unwanted scratch marks. Use a baking soda solution of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. Apply with a sponge or soft cloth to remove road grime, tree sap, bugs, and tar. For stubborn stains use baking soda sprinkled on a damp sponge or soft brush. Here’s how Sustainable Dave washes his car. Deodorizing 30. Deodorize Your Refrigerator Place an open box in the back of the fridge to neutralize odors. 31. Deodorize the Cutting Board Sprinkle the cutting board with baking soda, scrub, rinse.

Also, clean your recyclable container periodically by sprinkling baking soda on a damp sponge. Wipe clean and rinse. Learn about how to recycle everything. 34. Deodorize Drains To deodorize your sink and tub drains, and keep lingering odors from resurfacing, pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain while running warm tap water–it will neutralize both acid and basic odors for a fresh drain. (This a good way to dispose of baking soda that is being retired from your refrigerator.) Do you know what you’re not supposed to put down your drains? 35. Deodorize and Clean Dishwashers Use Baking soda to deodorize before you run the dishwasher and then as a gentle cleanser in the wash cycle. 36. Deodorize Garbage Disposals To deodorize your disposal, and keep lingering odors from resurfacing, pour baking soda down the drain while running warm tap water.

Remove Odor From Carpets Liberally sprinkle baking soda on the carpet. Let set overnight, or as long as possible (the longer it sets the better it works). Sweep up the larger amounts of baking soda, and vacuum up the rest. (Note that your vacuum cleaner bag will get full and heavy.) 39. Remove Odor From Vacuum Cleaners By using the method above for carpets, you will also deodorize your vacuum cleaner. 40. Freshen Closets Place a box on the shelf to keep the closet smelling fresh, then follow these tips to organize your closet in an eco-friendly way. 41. Deodorizing Cars Odors settle into car upholstery and carpet, so each time you step in and sit down, they are released into the air all over again. Eliminate these odors by sprinkling baking soda directly on fabric car seats and carpets. Wait 15 minutes (or longer for strong odors) and vacuum up the baking soda. 42. Deodorize the Cat Box Cover the bottom of the pan with baking soda, then fill as usual with litter. To freshen between changes, sprinkle baking soda on top of the litter after a thorough cleaning.

Camping Cure-all Baking soda is a must-have for your next camping trip. Its a dish washer, pot scrubber, hand cleanser, deodorant, toothpaste,f ire extinguisher and many other uses. 49. Extinguish Fires Baking soda can help in the initial handling of minor grease or electrical kitchen fires, because when baking soda is heated, it gives off carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames. For small cooking fires (frying pans, broilers, ovens, grills), turn off the gas or electricity if you can safely do so. Stand back and throw handfuls of baking soda at the base of the flame to help put out the fire–and call the Fire Department just to be safe. (And, you should have a fire entinguisher on hand anyway, here’s why. 50. Septic Care Regular use of baking soda in your drains can help keep your septic system flowing freely. 1 cup of baking soda per week will help maintain a favorable pH in your septic tank. 51.

I admit, I tried it with salt and it was just too salty for my tastes. . #5 written by Helen B. @ Blue Eyed Beauty Blog about 1 year ago Reply Quote I use baking soda on my teeth as well and in just a few weeks I could tell they were whiter! Love it and use it much more than store bought toothpaste. I actually use a mix of baking soda, peroxide, and peppermint extract (recipe on my blog: blueeyedbeautyblogg.blogspot/2012/08/homemade-whitening-toothpaste.html). Helen Blue Eyed Beauty Blog . #6 written by Selina Heaton about 1 year ago Reply Quote Helen – Although baking soda is a great substitute for ordinary toothpaste – it should only be used occasionally as will remove the enamel from your teeth. My son had been using it daily and unfortunately my biological dentist discovered alot of the enamel had worn off his teeth – and said baking soda must NOT be used daily for this reason. I make a great toothpaste from the same ingredients as the Tooth Soap that is selling for about $25 a bottle on line. Here’s the recipe: Combine the ingredients listed. 1. 5 tablespoons of organic coconut oil 2. 1 tablespoon of organic extra virgin olive oil 3. 10 — 12 drops of orange oil or tea tree oil 4. 10 — 12 drops of peppermint oil Blend the ingredients together thoroughly. If the consistency is thicker than desired, more olive oil can be added until it reaches a pourable texture. This makes enough for months of use! I will post this for the author too! . #7 written by Catch about 2 years ago Reply Quote If it’s job is to neutralize ph, is it used in garden beds when growing vegetables? . #8 written by Patty about 2 years ago Reply Quote karen: 1 0 i Rate This/**/Whenever I start to feel like I am getting sick–stuffy nose, runny nose, sinus headache, sore throat–at the first sign I dissolve about a quarter of a teaspoon to a half a teaspoon of baking soda in water and drink it down.

Keep in mind that baking soda is a salt; the excess sodium can be very dangerous for some people! . #9 written by Becky about 2 years ago Reply Quote lifts out spilt wine on carpet! :) . #10 written by F.P. Ingram about 2 years ago Reply Quote This comment is completely wrong: “Give yourself an invigorating facial and body scrub. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate the skin. Rinse clean. This is gentle enough for daily use.” the skin has a pH of about 4 (i.e. quite acid). This is part of the skin’s function as a part of the ‘non-specific immune system’ in that the acidity discourages bacteria, fungi and other pathogens from inhabiting the skin and causing infections. Carb soda is a fairly stong alkaline substance (not sure of the pH, but it would be about 10 ish) (neutral is 7.5; acid from 7 – 1; alkaline from 8 – 15). Soap, also is about pH 10 = alkaline. Simply, by scrubbing the skin daily with a strong alkaline substance you will get (a) dry skin (b) worse acne / eczema / psoriasis (in fact any skin condition will get worse; I have seen this occasionally in my practice when people tell me they have been scrubbing off their top skin layer with carb soda – their skin condition is usually very inflamed and scabby or dry and cracking by the time they get to me). As soon as they stop grinding off their skin with carb soda, and using appropriate (pH neutral or mildly acidic) skin preparations and remedies, their problems beging to abate. So, this is VERY poorly thought out advice. Apart from that, the upper skin layer will gradually toughen up as a result of constant exfoliation = accelerated ageing. enough for daily use.” . #11 written by Julie about 2 years ago Reply Quote This didn’t sound right to me either, I’m no expert; but, I have long suffered from acne breakouts. For the past 8 months I have been cleansing my face with a combination of good olive oil and caster oil. Not only does it dissolve the dirt and oil in my pores, it leaves my skin very soft. And for those who feel that putting oil on your face will encourage more acne and oily skin – you’re wrong… at least for me it doesn’t. I’ve given up on buying commercial facial cleansers and soaps – they just don’t compare to this more gentler way to cleanse. . #12 written by Maria about 1 year ago Reply Quote My nephew has really bad acne, does the olive oil and caster oil really work? He’s tried proactive and other skin care products. I think he’s currently using clinic products. I see it controlling a little of the acne, but not really clearing anything up. What part olive oil and what part caster oil do you use? . #13 written by Carol about 1 year ago Reply Quote Organic cold pressed coconut oil is the best thing for your skin. . #14 written by Felicia about 1 year ago Reply Quote I use coconut oil to remove makeup and often to “wash” my face. I rub on a fair amount and then rinse with very warm water and blot dry. My skin loves this! As for its affect on acne I don’t know but it would be worth a try. I had acne as a teenager but i didn’t know about coconut oil back then… I’d also suggest removing all junk food from the diet and going “paleo” for at least three months. Cleaning up diet is bound to do more good than just putting stuff on your skin. Check out the blog Mark’s Daily Apple. I eat this way about 75/25% and will never go back to my old ways! . #15 written by john about 1 year ago Reply Quote I’ve used Organic coconut oil for years on my dry skin and I don’t get rashes etc anymore :-) Yippeee I also use it in my hair as well and it never seems overly oily. In saying that some people that produce an oily complexion may not be able to use it. Its great in smoothies as well. A tablespoon with a banana, some Pineapple, Paw Paw and Yummo! . #16 written by Name Claudia about 2 years ago Reply Quote Jen, You are probably allergic to the sodium lauryl sulfate in tooth paste. It took me years to figure it out but when I stopped using tooth paste all the sensitivity went away. It’s in just about everything; it’s a foaming agent, not fit for human consumption but makes cheap filler. My hair stopped falling out when I changed to a shampoo and rinse, Costco, without sodium lauryl. You really have to read labels I just found it’s even in angel food cake mix. . #17 written by Debi Parsons about 2 years ago Reply Quote There are so many uses for baking soda and when used with salt and/or vinegar the uses are multiplied. I have taken the film off of my headlights with a solution of equal parts baking soda and vinegar: wipe the paste on, let dry and rinse off. I have taken paint transfer off of vehicles with the 3 parts soda to 1 part water. Also, equal parts baking soda, salt and vinegar can remove simple clogs from sink drains or as a preventative for serious clogs. Pour paste into drain(s), let sit one hour then pour boiling water down the drain(s). . #18 written by Donna about 2 years ago Reply Quote If your pet has an accident especially diarrhea, heavily sprinkle baking soda on accident and wait for it to dry.

I believe it can have a pH of 8.0 and blood must be maintained at a pH of around 7.35 -7.45, therefore one must monitor the pH in the urine (with simple Litmus Paper or better) so that one does not go overboard. Note that it can also be neutralized by the strong stomach acid before it gets into the blood. So one has to figure out a way of going around this. . #21 written by Sarah about 2 years ago Reply Quote Does baking soda also neutralize PH in the body? For instance, does it bring down the acidity of my cookies? Or if I were to add it to apple juice, would it make it more alkaline? How much would be required to make a difference? . #22 written by robkim55 about 2 years ago Reply Quote yes it does but one must mix it with other drinks so that it is not neutralized by the stomach acids. . #23 written by Ian Jarvis about 2 years ago Reply Quote You must be careful to buy pure Bicarbonate of Soda – in some countries, eg UK, the product called ‘Baking Soda’ has other ingredients added such as flour. . #24 written by Jacqueline Dickens about 2 years ago Reply Quote I like learning about eco-friendly and cost effective ways to live a better and safer life for me and the environment. . . 1 2 Next ».
