Melissa you forgot about this one, you told us about this years ago. I sprinkle baking soda on my mattress, leave on at least 30 minutes and than vacuum it up. It freshens the mattress.
@@matilda2 yikes, who knew? maybe use a shop vac wherein you can clean the filter readily into a garbage can ... or do it when you are about to change the filter anyway?
Love these tips. I use baking soda for just about everything, including underarms. A note, I had breast cancer, and the oncologist suggested it during radiation therapy as many deodorants contain aluminium, which I quit using as my mother had Alzheimer's disease...long story. Anyway I have used baking soda for more than 25 years! No one has held their nose even at the gym yet!
as an aside, breast cancer biopsies usually turn up silicone products ... since so many hair products contain silicone, most of us probably have a store of dimethicone, silicone and other derivatives to try to be aware of reduce. Just sayin, I know off topic but a chance to share.
Did you ever get rashy from it? Help!? It really worked for the deodorant but I got very uncomfortable in my underarms? I went back to Dove because I don’t want to stink or have a rash but if I could troubleshoot I would go back to baking soda.
@@annettejasso101 just use about a 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of bs. I had the burning happen, when I first used bs (which I use for just about everything!), and I had used way too much. I eventually tried it as a deodorant again, using about 3/4 tsp, for each application (ie per 1 armpit)) It worked really well.
I put lemon and lavender EO and baking soda into a jar with a lid with holes (like for pizza seasoning) then sprinkle on my carpets before vacuuming and my house smells fresh and clean 😊
I can honestly say with 5 sons lol I have NEVER found a better toilet cleaner than Baking soda , Which I then pour vinegar over , and add 10 drops of tea tree oil . let it sit for about ten to 15 minutes . Comes out smelling fantastic and looking great, with no nasty chemicals added :)
Great tips! People should be aware that using baking soda on the skin might not agree with them. Our skin has an acid mantle that likes to be at a pH of about 5.5. Baking soda is very alkaline, so applying it to the skin disrupts the skin barrier, which could lead to dry or irritated skin. In immunocompromised people it can allow infections to take hold. Also, baking soda on the face may be too abrasive for some people's skin.
A great way to combat that is to cut it with a starch of some sort as a binding agent. Arrow root or tapioca flour work well for this. Edit: I'm referencing deodorant specifically.
Also please don't use baking soda on your nails, they get brittle and will break which might hurt a lot depending on how deep de break is. Instead use a base coat that prevents staining.
I make toothpaste with 2 part baking soda and 1 part coconut oil. Two days in and my best friend thought I had been to the dentist for a cleaning! It's also help with my gum issues. Thanks for the video since I accidentally bought 13.5 pounds of baking soda and I'm looking for ways to use it all up!
I use baking soda to scrub pots and pans, clean the toilets, remove burned on splatters from my smooth top stove, remove stains in my porcelain sink, and as a laundry detergent booster.
I use baking soda + dish soap and a non-scratch scouring pad to clean glass shower doors. It’s easy, you can feel the hard minerals come right up off the glass. Give it a vinegar and hot water rise, and it’s like brand new glass shower doors.
These are all great tips! Baking soda may work for bottle labels, but a hairdryer on high is MUCH quicker and can be used on anything, including boxes shipped to you so you can reuse them!
exactly getting the label off is the tip of the iceberg, but some of the glues are still resistant to everything, then I have to use a razor blade and it is really nasty but I hate to toss a beautiful glass bottle that I use for collecting water from my Berkey filter, or for staples like lentils, rice, etc.
I recently saw this mixture and it works amazingly!!! I was finally able to get the dark marks off the shower & tubs floors and it came off so easily. I’ve tried it all and this was the quickest with little effort. Only using the amount you’ll need can’t make it ahead of time: baking soda, vinegar, and dawn dish soap. No exact measurements needed just want to mix into a foamy paste and BAM
The key to this tip is to make sure the shower is wet before you cover with the baking soda and dawn dish soap mixture. Then you spray on the vinegar that you have put into a spray bottle. Then, you go watch a movie. When you come back after the movie is over, the dirt and gunk in your shower will just easily scrub off with a sponge. Then use the shower to get rid of everything down the drain (which will also get a nice cleaning.)
I use Arm and Hammer baking soda deodorant. I can start smelling “dissatisfaction” by early afternoon. I decided to try just rubbing baking soda under my pits for the past two days. I’m kind of shocked how well it works. I work from home and sometimes skip a day showering. No problem. I just took a good whiff after not showering today and I’m as fresh as ever. I plan on getting the aluminum free stuff soon. I might mix it in with some coconut oil and a drop of essential oils and try that. Can’t believe how cheap and simple this is. Oh, and effective! Thanks for the tip!
I label glass food containers with a permanent marker, and remove the marks by rubbing a pinch of baking soda paste on the label. It works like a charm.
If you're reading this and haven't tried cleaning your bathtub with a sprinkle of baking soda, a squirt of Dawn, and splash of water (vinegar, too, if you like), do it now! I put off trying it for years and now I wish I could have back all the money I wasted on bathroom cleaners. The baking soda and Dawn cut through all the soap scum immediately and my tub is cleaner than it's ever been with expensive products!
Im a sweaty person even in winter n baking soda is really a life changing hack. I even make my own paste deodorant with cocunut oil mixed with strach until its a nice n smooth solution then cook that on a lower heat in the double boiler then add the baking soda until it become a consistent paste. I apply it on my armpit n its ready to go. It helps also whiten the skin n get rid of black stain of alcoholic former deodorant.
Can you elaborate if you’re using corn starch and what consistency will you want as adding coconut oil, then how you heat that &how long and would it lighten dark spots on skin?
The only one of these that I’ve tried and hasn’t worked for me is scrubbing the sink. When it dries, it looks very dull and streaky, so I need to go back over it again with something else…even if I wash it away with dish soap, it’s dull! I’ve switched to Barkeeper’s Friend, which doesn’t give me this issue. Anyone else experience this? Everything else is great! I love it as a clarifier in the shower and added, gentle abrasion to many cleaning tasks :)
I love baking soda & I use it to clean my sinks, tub, & toilet, but you gave me a few new ideas! About once a month I use it to clean my glass mugs because matcha leaves a discolored film on them. I buy a box for my fridge & freezer then when I replace them I’ll dump the old ones into my cleaning jars.
I use baking soda on my glass stove top. I sprinkle baking soda on the stove top, dampen a cloth or sponge and scrub the soda. the gunk disappears on the stove top
You've actually missed some of the most impressive! First: to clean serious kitchen grease (exhaust fan innards, for instance) it cuts through like nothing else, even more than castile soap which is for lesser-grease messes. Second: for kitchen floor grout, again, baking soda and very hot water, made into a loose paste and put in a squeezy bottle. Once dry residue can be swept or vacuumed, then a hot water rinse with a bit of vinegar gets the rest of it off. Third and finally, after polishing metals (which one can do with lemon juice and salt BTW), baking soda rubbed on the metal gets rid of the polish residue, then baking soda and a bit of water gets rid of all the icky black stuff on your hands and at least mostly deoderizes them!
Thank you SO MUCH! I got the idea from this video to try your baking soda fix for mirrors on cloudy wine glasses I had tried so many DIY treatments on - which only helped somewhat if at all. I was about to go buy some CLR and try that but saw your video . I'm waiting to see if the last layer of cloudiness is removed by the baking soda exfoliant/paste I made to clean the glasses with. Great news, I just checked and the glasses are nearly dry and the baking soda treatment has made a GIANT difference as the glasses are as clear as they were when they were new. Just wondering though, how much baking soda should a household have on hand to be able to use it for all these applications?
I like watching cleaning videos, & I was about to spend 10 to 15 dollars on cleaning/polishing paste......omg I can just use baking soda paste! I'm so glad I watched this video before spending all that money! Thank you!
We have been using baking soda to clean fruits and veggies but mix it with vinegar then add water and soak for about 30 min then rinse. I still use a box in both my fridge and freezer 🙂
@@AButterflyinChrist Give it a shot! I just add maybe a tablespoon of baking soda to the bowl, pour vinegar on top of it then once it stops fizzing fill the bowl with water and soak for about 20-30 minutes
We use baking soda to clean our tea mugs and tea strainers. I boil water, while I wait I add 2 teaspoons of soda to my mug, put in said tea strainer and pour boiling water into it. Let sit in the sink overnight and then easily clean with dishcloth next morning. And if you want to kick it up a notch, add teaspoon of vinegar into your soda laced water and watch the tea stains lift off 😊
For use as deoderant; it does totally work well! However, it burns if you shave😬 I learned that actually, if you give yourself about a month (I know, a long time), you won't even need deoderant. Like your body goes thru a cleanse, and you won't stink anymore (individual situations may vary, of course). Unfortunately, I'm hooked on antiperspirant because I sweat easily & live in the desert now. It is so painful to be constantly wet.... If anyone has any advice, I'll take it!
I've heard this before but I'm so scared to go a month without D.O as you said! My husband said and tried the exact same thing and it worked for him. He's a big man but I still feel like I'd smell worse than he as a small woman. 😅
@@PopMami Hey, I hear you! If it helps, I did this while I was going thru hormonal changes (so, there was a bit of "onion"🤭), but it still worked after I got over that part. I wish I wasn't so sweaty, because I'd like to try again. Maybe do it in the winter, or sometime when you are more covered up, and do a quick wash in the afternoon to "clear the air". Good luck!
I love watching all of your videos even going back through over and over. I do have a question about cleaning a manual can opener. Yes I do use a manual one, however, I am a fanatic about getting all the grooves clean. What do you recommend as the best (easiest) way?
I have a travertine farmhouse sink in my kitchen and it occasionally gets some stained areas that are hard to remove. I found a baking soda hack online for getting rid of the stains and it works great! Just make a paste with the baking soda and water and spread it on the stains. Leave it on for a while (better overnight) then scrub off with sponge in the morning.
If you live in a place like Las Vegas for example, there is hard water(calcium buildup). So you will definitely need to cleanse your hair at least once a week. Baking soda, apple cider vinegar or a clarifying shampoo. Don't do it everyday because it will dry out your scalp. Maybe up to 3 times tops
I can agree with this!! However, you should only clarify cleanse when your hair starts not cooperating like it used to but certainly not more than once every 1 - 2 weeks. It's extremely stripping.
…👏👏👏 🥳 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 absolutely love the info. The changing of the wardrobe also kicked up your presentation with a 💃💫⭐️ pop, keeping this video interesting with great tips and variety to keep the mind focused. Nothing boring here! Great Job! I alway like your videos’. Have a safe New 🥂Years! 💥✝️🙏☺️ Thanks for the great tips!
Baking soda is great! It really does amazing things as a deodorant, but I like many others get a bit of am underarm rash when using it. I have noticed that the amount of baking soda I use does make a difference in how much agitation I experience, so I recommend for people to play with the baking soda ratio (and consider mixing with “buffers” like coconut oil/shea butter or kaolin/bentonite clay to see if you can get a mixture that is gentle enough on your skin. You really don’t need much of the baking soda to nix underarm odor, so be careful of using too much-that has made the biggest difference for me. I really appreciate that such a simple, affordable natural mineral can fight underarm odor so completely. I like baking soda for house cleaning, too but I find borax usually works better for me in a lot of cases (like cleaning toilets, bathrooms, very dirty dishes, my stove top) as there’s less elbow grease involved. Still, for things like windows and other places that need a more gentle touch, baking soda’s where it’s at.
Tea stains! I bring the water in my teapot plus a couple of teaspoons of baking soda to a boil then let it sit for about an hour before wiping it out. It gets all the tea stains out of my pot. I also use hot water and baking soda to remove the tea stains from inside the plastic pitcher my husband uses for storing his sweet tea in the fridge.
Sah - Shay was the correct pronunciation for "sachet" (not Sah-shet). Edgar Cayce the famous world reknownd healer's tooth powder recipe called IPSAB included BAKING SODA along with Iodine, salt and , Prickly Ash Bark.
I use it regularly in my sinks and shower drain with vinegar. Bit here's a non baking soda related question: how to get wax out of candle jars? The wicks can't be lit anymore and there isn't enough wax so remove it after i put it in the freezer. Just a thin layer of wax I don't know how to get out.
Pour boiling hot water in the jar and wait until the wax starts lifting up, then remove it when it's cold and wash the jar as usual. Also you could flip the jar upsidedown on a baking sheet with aluminium foil and put it in the oven for 15 minutes at warm temperature (not too hot), the wax should melt and drip on the foil so you can remove it easily when it's cold.
I keep baking soda in my shower and mix it with my charcoal face wash to give my face a little exfoliation a few times a week. And yes, leaves my face feeling so soft! Been doing that for years!
I use it as a dishwasher alternative I just pour 2-3 drops (no more than this) in the slot and fill it up the rest of the way with baking soda and start the wash works like a charm!
I sprinkle baking soda on my blankets and comforter in between washes to take any Oder away . Especially if your dogs or cats lay on your bed . I just let sit for the day and just take blanket or comforter outside and shake off the baking soda . I then place a few drops on my blanket and it smells fresh and clean .
It’ll also increase the alkalinity in your pool/spa/hot tub if that’s low. It’ll also raise the ph a tad though so just make sure you adjust the ph also. Water Alkalinity should be between 80 and 120.
I use it to make tooth paste, I use it as a mild abrasive cleaner for surfaces and pots and pans, I use it to deodorize, I use it in my laundry, occasionally I use it as deodorant, I use it to clean my kitchen sink, my bath tub and the toilet. I think the better question would be what don't I use it for.
I always, (since forever, Dad was a big baking soda fan) keep baking soda in a sprinkle top container right by the sink. I sprinkle it over the dishes while they soak and clean my dish container & sink afterwards. Also, it’s very helpful in cleaning the electric glass stove top.
I’ve made the scrub with dish soap and baking soda, and I stored it in a wide mouth mason jar. It kept for several months. It will dry out if you keep it longer than that.
I love all the tips, however you did not cover my issue. I have off white ceramic tiles on ALL of my floors and they are unsealed; they are quite grungy. How can I clean them?
I don't know why these videos are just not appearing in my feed anymore. I thought you hadn't posted for ages, but it looks like you've been posting regularly. wtf. I am subscribed and the notification bell is selected.
I love baking soda so much! tho I did love that you used tea tree oil, I can't live without it, I put a few drops on a hankichief and breathe it in,and it's so good if you are coughing from asthma it opens your airway straight away and you will stop coughing in less than a minute! Thursday Plantation 100%pure I live in Queensland Aust Great videos btw!..
💌 I like the baking soda and coconut oil for hand or foot scrub. I also have tried a foot soak in a mini tub of a gallon of water or so and 3 Tablespoons baking soda for 5 minutes or longer. I t is nice and relaxing technique.
My question is when you did your tips and hacks with vinegar you mentioned that you should choose vinegar and baking soda to wash your sink yet this time you just said use water and baking soda. Also you stated that vinegar was to be added to your wash for all its deodorizing properties but in this video you said that baking to this should be added to the wash so does this mean that you can add either or? Love all your tips thanks for always being there love watching your videos thank you for all that you do.
Yes, I think this video was more baking soda centric for those who don't really want to use the other cleaner. My husband hates the smell of vinegar but I'd still like to use something natural so this is probably a better solution for myself and people in my situation.
Melissa you forgot about this one, you told us about this years ago. I sprinkle baking soda on my mattress, leave on at least 30 minutes and than vacuum it up. It freshens the mattress.
@@matilda2 Yeah, but just don’t put too much to clog up your vacuum and your filter.

Hey you should do a video on cleaning a Cpap or Bipap. It would bring in a whole new crowd.
Baking soda is great! It really does amazing things as a deodorant, but I like many others get a bit of am underarm rash when using it.
I have noticed that the amount of baking soda I use does make a difference in how much agitation I experience, so I recommend for people to play with the baking soda ratio (and consider mixing with “buffers” like coconut oil/shea butter or kaolin/bentonite clay to see if you can get a mixture that is gentle enough on your skin. You really don’t need much of the baking soda to nix underarm odor, so be careful of using too much-that has made the biggest difference for me.
I really appreciate that such a simple, affordable natural mineral can fight underarm odor so completely.
I like baking soda for house cleaning, too but I find borax usually works better for me in a lot of cases (like cleaning toilets, bathrooms, very dirty dishes, my stove top) as there’s less elbow grease involved.
Still, for things like windows and other places that need a more gentle touch, baking soda’s where it’s at.
I have learned a lot from your videos ! I hope you keep making them ! Thank you for posting several videos!
Tea stains! I bring the water in my teapot plus a couple of teaspoons of baking soda to a boil then let it sit for about an hour before wiping it out. It gets all the tea stains out of my pot. I also use hot water and baking soda to remove the tea stains from inside the plastic pitcher my husband uses for storing his sweet tea in the fridge.
Sah - Shay was the correct pronunciation for "sachet" (not Sah-shet).

How do you clean exspreso coffee pot
I use it regularly in my sinks and shower drain with vinegar. Bit here's a non baking soda related question: how to get wax out of candle jars? The wicks can't be lit anymore and there isn't enough wax so remove it after i put it in the freezer. Just a thin layer of wax I don't know how to get out.
Pour boiling hot water in the jar and wait until the wax starts lifting up, then remove it when it's cold and wash the jar as usual. Also you could flip the jar upsidedown on a baking sheet with aluminium foil and put it in the oven for 15 minutes at warm temperature (not too hot), the wax should melt and drip on the foil so you can remove it easily when it's cold.
@@jawbreaker8125 thank you! :)
I keep baking soda in my shower and mix it with my charcoal face wash to give my face a little exfoliation a few times a week. And yes, leaves my face feeling so soft! Been doing that for years!
You are a pretty lady, and look look especially beautiful with your hair up.
I’m a 67 year old Grandma, who used to do hair years ago.
I use it as a dishwasher alternative I just pour 2-3 drops (no more than this) in the slot and fill it up the rest of the way with baking soda and start the wash works like a charm!
I sprinkle baking soda on my blankets and comforter in between washes to take any Oder away . Especially if your dogs or cats lay on your bed . I just let sit for the day and just take blanket or comforter outside and shake off the baking soda . I then place a few drops on my blanket and it smells fresh and clean .
I meant to say I place a few drops of essential oils on my blanket or comforter
To reduce underarm smell cut out or greatly reduce animal product intake and after a week of doing so, notice how much nicer and cleaner you smell.
I like to throw a little baking soda on my bed once a month, let it sit for a little bit then vacuum it up. Refreshes the bed.
Mr Husband reading the Peppa Pig book before re-cleaning the already clean microwave is so wonderful.
XD
I have a question, does the baking soda affect the washing machine
I know your question is a couple months old, but it's totally fine for the washing machine 😊
It’ll also increase the alkalinity in your pool/spa/hot tub if that’s low. It’ll also raise the ph a tad though so just make sure you adjust the ph also. Water Alkalinity should be between 80 and 120.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing tips 🙏
CMS POLL: What do you use baking soda for?
I sprinkle it on my carpets once awk
I use it to make tooth paste, I use it as a mild abrasive cleaner for surfaces and pots and pans, I use it to deodorize, I use it in my laundry, occasionally I use it as deodorant, I use it to clean my kitchen sink, my bath tub and the toilet. I think the better question would be what don't I use it for.
Scuff marks, shower floors
On a weekly basis, to shine up my sink and inside my toilet. On a monthly basis I use it when cleaning my indoor trash cans.
I always, (since forever, Dad was a big baking soda fan) keep baking soda in a sprinkle top container right by the sink. I sprinkle it over the dishes while they soak and clean my dish container & sink afterwards. Also, it’s very helpful in cleaning the electric glass stove top.
I love your tips thank you so much 💗 you help me with my home I've been so overwhelmed and I'm so glad I found your page thank you 😊
I’ve made the scrub with dish soap and baking soda, and I stored it in a wide mouth mason jar. It kept for several months. It will dry out if you keep it longer than that.
I don't watch your videos enough but i LOVE them all!! At least the ones I've seen 😆
I love all the tips, however you did not cover my issue. I have off white ceramic tiles on ALL of my floors and they are unsealed; they are quite grungy. How can I clean them?
thanks.
Love these tips! And you look really pretty with your hair pulled up!
Got to watch this again !!! How useful
Great video!! Thanks
I don't know why these videos are just not appearing in my feed anymore. I thought you hadn't posted for ages, but it looks like you've been posting regularly. wtf. I am subscribed and the notification bell is selected.
Love it. Thanks
Use a Powdered Sugar Plastic Container (with a Domed Mesh Lid) to sprinkle Baking Soda on so many things! It works great!.
Thank you for all of those tips. I will try them.
I love baking soda so much!
tho I did love that you used
tea tree oil, I can't live without it, I put a few drops on a hankichief and breathe it in,and it's so good if you are coughing from asthma it opens your airway straight away and you will stop coughing in less than a minute! Thursday Plantation 100%pure

Question from corpulent fan. // Is knit cotton or Bounty towel more porous, thus more efficient? // Not actually "corpulent" but it seemed clever. 😎
LOVE THIS 💘 you never show your little girl anymore.
Would like to see her again I know she is growing fast!
I use baking soda to scrub my counters and my sink. I also put my orange peels in the garbage disposal to make it smell nice. Lemon peel works too.
Can baking soda be used to make a very dirty/stained white tiles perfect clean n white?
Thanks for all the cleaning tips. Change of subject, can I ask what Color nail polish you are wearing at 22:08 in this video?
If that's your hubby....HE IS TOO FUNNY 😂
Do you dry your pits before adding the baking soda? Is baking soda sodium bicarbonate? Confused 😩
Tips are priceless!!
💌 I like the baking soda and coconut oil for hand or foot scrub. I also have tried a foot soak in a mini tub of a gallon of water or so and 3 Tablespoons baking soda for 5 minutes or longer. I t is nice and relaxing technique.
Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching it!
I have used baking soda and coconut oil to wash my face for years!
Thank u
You are awesome!! Thanks so much for these gems.
Awesome! Thanks!
My question is when you did your tips and hacks with vinegar you mentioned that you should choose vinegar and baking soda to wash your sink yet this time you just said use water and baking soda. Also you stated that vinegar was to be added to your wash for all its deodorizing properties but in this video you said that baking to this should be added to the wash so does this mean that you can add either or? Love all your tips thanks for always being there love watching your videos thank you for all that you do.
Yes, I think this video was more baking soda centric for those who don't really want to use the other cleaner. My husband hates the smell of vinegar but I'd still like to use something natural so this is probably a better solution for myself and people in my situation.
This was terrific! Thx
I add some to the dishwasher if I forgot to run it the night before. Gets all the icky smell out
