Tips & Tricks

• Renew old sponges, nylon scrubbers, and scrub brushes by soaking them overnight in a solution of 4 Tbsp baking soda to 1 quart water.

• Cover burned on stains on a cookie sheet by covering in baking soda, hot water, and let it soak for 10 minutes. Next, use more baking soda and scrub with a scrubber or brush. The stain should come right off.
• Sprinkle baking soda into clean socks before wearing to prevent odor and moisture.
• Remove crayon marks on clothing by sprinkling baking soda on a damp rag and gently rubbing the stained area.
• Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle instead of fabric softener.
• Add 1 tsp. baking soda to the water when cooking rice. It helps with fluffiness.
