"The Virtues of Bicarbonate of Soda!"

Sodium bicarbonate a.k.a. bicarbonate of soda is the Jedi of the chemical world. You can use this mild alkali non-toxic substance for dozens of jobs around your home....Including cleaning, polishing, stain removal and a whole host of other jobs. 

Other than using bicarbonate of soda in cooking, another great use for it is for deodourising fridges. Simply open a box and put it in the back of your fridge and it will absorb odours. Just remember to change it periodically.

Here's a few other uses:

• Sprinkle some on a damp sponge and use a mild scouring agent
• Smother a grease fire with it
• To remove an unpleasant odour from your carpet sprinkle with bicarbonate of soda, then let is sit for 3 or 4 hours and vacuum it up
• Mix a couple or 3 tablespoons in a litre of warm water and use it to clean worktops and hard surfaces also tiles and stainless steel.
  
• .....And you can brush your teeth with it!
