Uses For Baking Soda
July 4, 2007
My goal is simple: To create the largest list of the possible uses for baking soda on the Internet! Will you help me? Leave a comment below (don’t forget the link to your website if you have one).
- Burned pot saver – If you have some burned gunk on the bottom of a pan (who, me?!) wet it just enough to keep damp and sprinkle baking soda liberally. (This is my favorite part.) Leave overnight. In the morning, the gunk will magically lift off.
- “Soft Scrub” – Use a drop of your favorite soap, like Dr. Bronners, and then sprinkled on some baking soda. Voila – a soft scrubbing agent. You can mix these two in a bowl together if you are in to that kind of thing.
- Stinky diaper rescue – Fuzzi Bunz or other cloth diapers or covers still stinky even after washing? Soak them overnight in the washer with hot water and an entire small box of baking soda. Drain the water, then wash with your regular detergent, more baking soda and hot water. Then dry outside. They should be all sweet smelling now.
- Facial exfoliant – If my skin is looking less than dewy, I put a bit of baking soda in my palms and use it to scrub my face. It’s super gentle but removes dead skin cells.

This is a great list starting. I have been concerned about underarm deodorants, so I have been using baking soda right after a shower. Now it does not keep you dry, but it works but the underarms smell great.
