Do you apply baking soda directly on ur teeth to clean them ? Like use it as a toothpaste..or do you need to keep it on your teeth for sometime ..and if yes ..for how long ?

Can I use it in my front loader? Also, do I just put diluted vinegar in the fabric softner compartment? Thank you.

I love it in the laundry...I use it on pool towels and swimsuits to help get rid of the chlorine smell and I cannot live without it when I wash my sons football clothes.

Going to try it...we have hard water and our towels never really smell that "clean and fresh."  Thanks for the tip!

Awesome tip! I use baking soda for cleaniing a lot of things, but have never used it in the laundry.  I guess I just never thought of it, but it makes perfect sense.  I also save tons of money on all those whitening strips and toothpaste by simply using baking soda on your teeth.  You can see instant results, and with prolonged use your teeth are totally white!  My daughter loves it!

Awesome cant wait to try this idea...I always wish my whites were whiter and brights sharper

I have been adding baking soda to my husband's workout clothes for some time now and can't imagine that load without it!  Thanks for sharing this tip!

I love using baking soda for its deodorizing qualities. For those towels that somehow get left out and have that extra stink.

Another good tip that my family uses is drop a few tablet of aspirin into the laundry with the detergent.

I second the question on front loaders... I always used to use it in my laundry and it worked great!!  But now I am afraid to add anything anywhere to my front loader.... Anyone know the answer to this??!

can you use this on front loaders??? I would love to know how...I use liquid detergent

Baking soda is a wonderful product besides boosting your laundry it is good to clean your teeth, clean hairbrushes  and lots of other household chores  JoNNE

I have a VERY OLD bathtub that I could never get white because it was so scratched up. Good old baking soda to the rescue again. Until I can afford to get tub refinished, the baking soda keeps it looking clean & shines like it has already been refinished!

Baking soda is THE BOMB! It is the most economical & "eco friendly" way to clean practically everything. Who needs modern technology to clean things when you have plain old baking soda available?

posted on 7/20/2010 3:09:23 PM

Sounds like a great idea! I have never tried this but baking soda works on teeth so i guess it would also whiten clothes

posted on 7/20/2010 2:28:40 PM

BAKING SODA CAN ALSO BE USED WITH TAKING A BATH IT HELPS DEODORIZE HUMANS AS WELL AS PETSIT CAN ALSO BE USED UNDER THE ARM WHEN DEODORANT IS AN IRRITANT. ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.

I'VE DISCOVERED BAKING SODA FOR CLEANING EVERYTHING.  ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR GLASS TOP STOVES--CHEAP CLEANER AND NON-ABRASIVE; CLEANS BAKED ON FOOD ON STOVETOP. I ALSO COMBINE BAKING SODA WITH CHEAP LIQUID CLEANER TO CLEAN BATHTUB AND TILE.

I will have to give this one a try.I work in a restaurant where our uniforms are whites from head to toe! Keeping them white is definately a project..thanks

I use baking soda for so many things, including laundry. I also use Borax in my load to help with hard water.  Vinegar is good for fabric softener, but you have to make sure it's diluted in the water and not at all directly on the laundry.  I bleached several light gray towels by accident from not diluting the vinegar well enough.  Now they have pink-colored patches all over them.

I love adding baking soda to laundry, I also add vinegar instead of fabric softener.  It removes any soap residue and brightens clothes!

I agree with you and have been using Baking soda for years. I use it to whiten my teeth, soak my feet, wipr out my sink and many other things. My mother taught me this when I was a child and I've always contined to use it. It's also good for soaking dentures.Thank you,Gail S.
