Baking soda tis a wonderfull thing

Neutralises the smell of sick too and of spilt sour milk.
It unclogs drains, it cleans off grafitti, cleans silver (with aluminium foil) and it cleans the grease off the tiles behind the cooker and the cooker hood It's safe to use to clean the bath and the sink too.
Mix it with a few drops of orange oil and it's a great cleaner for freshening up paintwork or wooden furniture, just wipe off with a damp cloth and buff dry.

Thanks for the link, I haven't tried it for hair....though it does make good toothpaste.

cheers,
Toddy

I remember the oldie relatives using it for the dentures, heartburn, making poultices, baking of course.

Can't remember anything else,need to ask my mum if she remembers anything.

Hi
I have a book on baking/bicarb soda 100's of Household Uses
it is by Flame Tree publishing if any one is interested in buying one
Cover stamped with £9.99 but it was purchased from a book club man who drops books of at offices, shops, schools and then calls back a few days later to see if any one
would like to buy what he as left as samples
The price would have been about £3-£5 only
Another useful tip for camping and walking is for use like a talcum powder for feet to stop itch and smell you could wrap some up in a small light cloth and tie it to dust your
feet and may work under arms and other places
