Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous,
Fun, and Frugal Uses Youve
Probably Never Thought Of (Lansky,
Vicki) by Vicki Lansky
Another Must-Have Book!
This is not simply a useful and informative book about the innumerable
uses for good old baking soda, saving tons of money, and in the process
not harming the environment. It is also entertaining and sometimes
downright funny--it would be a great gift for anyone, including yourself. I
expect that Vicki Lansky had a blast putting this book together, and her
enthusiasm is evident in the text.
Personal Review: Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and
Frugal Uses Youve Probably Never Thought Of (Lansky, Vicki)
by Vicki Lansky
If you don't have this incredibly helpful book--maybe two or three around
the house and workshop--someone should thump you upside the head.

Baking soda is natural, inexpensive, and so easy to use. "Baking Soda:
Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Uses You've Probably Never Thought
Of" will tell you how.
You know about baking soda in the refrigerator to absorb odors and down
the drain with vinegar followed by a hot water rinse to keep drains flowing
freely. How about sprinkling some in your suitcases when you next store
them to eliminate that musty odor that grows in the dark of your absence.
Or sprinkle it on your closet floor the day before you vacuum.
Soak dirty mops and rags in a solution of baking soda and water after you
finish mopping and make that final rinse. Rinse and let dry.
Make the dirtiest windows sparkle by washing them with a wet sponge
sprinkled with baking soda. Rinse with a clean sponge and dry.
Leave 1 cup ammonia in a cold, closed oven overnight. In the morning
remove the ammonia, sprinkle the oven with baking soda and wipe down
with damp paper towels. Most of the residue will come off.
Give chocolate cake a darker texture by adding 1 teaspoon baking soda
with the other dry ingredients.
Remove tape residue from windows and woodwork by using a baking soda
paste.
Keep a small box or shaker box of baking soda in your car to sprinkle on
your hands after you pump gas. Wipe them clean with a damp paper towel
found right there at the pump. No more smelly gas on your hands!
There, I've listed ten fabulous, fun, and frugal uses of baking soda. The
book will give you 495 more.
Oh, do you know that virtually all of the baking soda in America comes
from Green River, Wyoming, from the mined mineral, trona? It is also
manufactured in one natural factory--your body! It keeps our saliva from
dissolving our teeth and neutralizes stomach acids. It also carries carbon
dioxide from body tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled. An amazing
thing is baking soda.
