You may already keep a box in the fridge to neutralize odors, but did you know that baking soda has a plethora of other uses?
I’m participating in The Switch & Save Challenge, trying a variety of Arm & Hammer products and sharing my experiences with you!
Most everyone has that yellow box of baking soda in their pantry for baking and some may even toss one in the fridge to keep nasty odors at bay. But did you know that baking soda has a plethora of other uses? This is some amazing stuff!!
Why use Baking Soda?
Baking soda is a non-toxic, naturally occurring, substance that is made from sodium bicarbonate. Because it’s a naturally found substance, it will not harm you, your family or the environment. Not only is baking soda good for cooking and cleaning but it is also one of the most inexpensive substances that you can buy to use in your home!

A few of my personal favorite ways to use Baking Soda:
Clean combs and brushes
Keep your combs and brushes free of natural oil build-up and hair product residue by soaking combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in a small basin of warm water. Rinse and allow to dry.
Bring Sour Sponges back to life
Soak stale-smelling sponges in a strong ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda solution to get rid of the mess and bring in the fresh (4 tablespoons of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda dissolved in 1 quart of warm water).
