It can be used to treat spills on carpets, clean equipment and toys, deodorize baby bottles and diaper pails as well as freshen stuffed animals to give them a new life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Pests Away.<\/strong> Mix equal parts baking soda with powdered sugar to attract and kill ants. Great for those ants invading your picnic and safe to have around babies too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have you tried it in the bathroom?<\/strong> It helps remove the dirt and grime from bathroom tiles or no-wax floors quickly and easily. It\u2019s also effective at cleaning shower curtains, deodorizing drains and wastebaskets, surface-safe cleaning and for septic system care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning retainers.<\/strong>\u00a0Just add some water and the combination will neutralize odours, keeping your retainer fresh.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not just for cooking in the kitchen. <\/strong>Yes, Arm &amp; Hammer Baking Soda is a staple baking ingredient as it causes dough or batter to rise, becoming light and porous when heated, but it can also be used in the kitchen to clean lunch boxes, microwave ovens, dishes, pots and pans, recyclables, drains and garbage disposals. Did I mention it removes odours from plastic containers, polishes silver, freshens sponges and stinky sinks, refreshes tea pots, cups and mugs and works great as a fruit and vegetable scrub? It\u2019s also a common deodorizer for fridges and freezers. Changing the box regularly (every 30 days is recommended) helps ensure optimal odour\u00a0elimination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t fret about your floors. <\/strong>It helps remove unsightly scuff marks without unwanted scratch marks from tile and no-wax floors. It\u2019s also great at neutralizing common household odours and freshens stale-smelling air in your home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add baking soda to flowers.<\/strong>\u00a0Just a teaspoon can prolong the life of cut flowers by making the water more alkaline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tackles the greasiest of garages. <\/strong>Arm &amp; HammerBaking Soda safely cleans your car lights, chrome, windows, tires, vinyl seats and floor mats without you having to worry about unwanted scratch marks. It\u2019s also a great deodorizer for car interiors and camper water tanks and tackles oil and grease stains on your garage floor or driveway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smelly gear no more. <\/strong>Use Arm &amp; Hammer baking soda to clean and deodorize smelly sports equipment like hockey or camping gear, as well as gym bags.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t forget to take it outside. <\/strong>It is a must-have for your next <a href=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/2015\/07\/camping-recipes.html\">camping trip<\/a>! It&#8217;s a dish and pot scrubber, recipe ingredient, hand cleanser and deodorant, just to name a few. It also cleans your plastic and vinyl pool toys as well as lawn furniture when it\u2019s time to bring them out for the summer and works wonders on barbecue grills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that\u2019s not all!<\/p>\n<p>Because of the gentle and all natural formula of Arm &amp; Hammer\u2122\u00a0Baking Soda, it\u2019s a popular personal hygiene product for many. It can be used as a body and facial scrub, hand cleanser and a refreshing bath soak.
