Baking soda is brilliant for removing smells. Put it in the bottom of ash-trays to get rid of smoke smells, and sprinkle it on carpet spills then vacumm up.

yes its also excellent to put it in your washing machine when washing white clothes, about 3 tablespoons, really makes whites whiter - sorry - dont mean to sound like a silly tv ad there - but its true !!! LOL

 

 

I was told by a repairman from Zanussi to use it to clean the fridge. It kills bugs and doesn't taint the food in the fridge. Just mix a couple of tbl in a bucket of warm water.

 Do you think baking soda could help with that? Maybe raise my game a little?

It may do, perhaps we should give some to the Football, Rugby and Cricket teams it may raise their standards.

Or the Politicians, or the police or..........

baking soda is quite good for baking but as a soda it is quite rubbish as a thirst quencher when it comes to our american friends
