Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Household & Beauty Tips

As you guys have probably figured out I’m a baker.

I love baking cupcakes and cookies and all sorts of treats for my family and of course you can’t bake without Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.

But did you k now that you can use it for other things as well? Not just baking?

My favorite way to use Baking Soda other than cooking is for household cleaning. I feel so much better about using baking soda for some of household tasks than other products that have a ton of additives which normally isn’t good for babies or my dog.

Arm & Hammer provided me with some Holiday tips for both prepping your home and beauty tips, honestly I was surprised with how many I had never used before! I thought I was a Baking Soda for things other than cooking buff!

Here are some of my favorite tips that I use routinely around the house and for my beauty routine:

• Freshen Upholstery–Sprinkle baking soda on upholstery, wait 15 minutes and vacuum up.
• Freshen Carpets–Sprinkle Baking Soda on the carpet wait 15 minutes and then vacuum!
• Deodorize Trash Can-Sprinkle your garbage can with a sprinkle of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to help get rid of odors. I would do this every time I added something that I knew could get stinky if it sat!
• Freshen Your Fridge–Keep a box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda in your Fridge
• Food Safe Surface Cleaner–Sprinkle Baking Soda onto a damp sponge and wipe down your counter tops, wooden spoons, microwaves, stainless steel skins, cutting boards, oven tops and more!
• Whiten Your Teeth–Sprinkle a little of baking soda unto your hand, dampen your tooth brush, pick up the baking soda with your hand and brush!

Here are some of the tips that I learned about and would love to try!

• Wash Fruits and Vegetables–No need for a special spray! Just sprinkle of a little baking soda on a clean damp sponge, scrub the veggies and rinse! To make the skin on your produce soft sprinkle baking soda in a bowl of water add produce agitate and rinse!

I was so surprised at all these beauty tips! The only one I’ve ever done is to whiten my teeth! I was really impressed with everything it can do and I plan on adding a lot of these to my beauty routine especially since Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is so inexpensive!
