- Baking soda is a very important product to have in our food storage. It has hundreds of uses from deodorizing, to cleaning, to freshening clothes in the washing machine, and also many food-related uses. It is fairly inexpensive and can be purchased in large quantities. If you have not yet added it to your food storage, now is the time.

I always heard that baking soda removes enamel from teeth, so you should only use it occasionally to help whiten, but then I heard an actress mention that her father, who is a dentist, made her brush her teeth with baking soda, and she never had cavities. So I've brushed with nothing but baking soda for over a year, and not only do I still have all my enamel, I no longer have any of the problems with my teeth that I was having. Apparently baking soda balances the PH in the mouth which helps eliminate the bacteria that cause cavities and gum issues. Guess we weren't supposed to know that.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
I had a great aunt who only used baking soda and salt to brush her teeth. She died in her 90s and never had a cavity, and died with a full mouth of perfect teeth.
My childhood dentist did used to use a pressurized jet of water and baking soda for our cleanings (and it stung like having a mouthful of bees) but I think, as with everything else, the effects vary from person to person. If I brush with baking soda more than a couple of days in a row it makes my teeth hurt, no matter how sparing or gentle I am with it.
@@jenniferellifritz4547 Yeah I'm sure some folks are too sensitive for it. Thankfully I'm not, cuz my teeth were a mess before.
I brush my teeth with organic baking soda it’s better for your health. I use store-bought baking soda for cleaning and sanitizing the kitchen.
I saved my neighbor one year. Young couple, had flames in a frying pan. Carried it outside (no!) and didn’t know what to do. I ran in house and got my bucket of baking soda and put out the fire!
Great job
I would think quickly putting the appropriately sized lid on top of the frying pan would also work as fire needs air to keep burning.
Flour can work for pan/oven fires
Next time, turn heat off and just put the lid on it! Or a larger pot/pan to cover it! Fire will go out!
@@ambergaia1448 🔷WARNING🔷 Be very careful if you use flour on an open flame.
If the flour is tossed thru the air,where it creates a cloud of dust ...... I've seen a tiny little match ignite the cloud of flour with one HUGE explosion 💥
Here is another fun use for baking soda: Next time you have a clogged drain, instead of reaching for a caustic drain opener, grab your baking soda and vinegar. Dump about a quarter cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar. Watch the bubbling action bring up the clog! Let it work for about an hour, then pour several gallons of boiling water down the drain. This nearly always works to completely unclog the drain.
My sister does that to. The volcano effect is an exothermic reaction which helps loosen up the fats and proteins that make the clog.
This will also work if your kid puts orbeez down the little hole on the front of the sink lol! I spent months digging out gel chunks out of that little hole, until I read about using baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the gel. It worked fast and no more orbeez in my sink!
I just did this a week ago to unclog my toilet it works really well. I keep a few boxes at all times.
Exactly what I did yesterday
Was taught this as a child.
There are a lot of emergency preparedness videos out there. I just recently found you, and am so glad I did. I've only seen 3 so far, but I love every one of them. I love that you're not invoking fear. You calmly, and caringly pass on a wealth of knowledge of things you've learned over the years. Tips and info that is useful for everyone. Thank you so much. I look forward to one day saying I've watched every one of your videos. May the Lord continue to bless you with safety, good health, and lots of love and appreciation by all who know you. ❤️
I've actually just recently used baking soda to relieve poison ivy on my feet. I'm terribly allergic and happened to have sour cream at the time; I washed the leaf oil off with dawn detergent, rinsed, made a paste of baking soda and sour cream and slathered it on. I wore a sock overnight but repeat about 3 - 4 times daily over the next 2 days and it was mostly all disappeared🤗
Also good as an antacid for upset stomach or stomach acid.
I love sharing your videos with family and friends. Because I'm confident in your ability to consider the science of your recommendations for one, and most of all, because you do not endorse products due to affiliation with a company, nor get paid ( or other types of benefits) from the companies that own or sale these products. It's a lot of work for you and Jim, I'm sure, but trusting an individual who shares from the goodness of the heart & soul is our greatest reward. I appreciate all you two are doing so very much! Thank you, Dr. Pam and Mr. Jim.
Grace: Thank you! You are correct. Jim
I agree.
It's an antacid but also anti-fungal if you drink it mixed with water. Great to scrub your feet with in the shower for fungus too. You can also wash your whole body with it. Just scrub it on!
As antacid for short period of time. Drinking water baking soda has cooling response for heartburn acid reflux however the baking soda creates alkaline environment in stomach, which dilutes natural stomach acids. Thus creating less stomach acids and encourages more acid reflux. Stomach ph must be high acidity to digest nutrients 😎👍
I use it for that and also mixed with potassium bicarb as an antihistamine to help with my mast cell disease! It's a godsend for me.
Make a mixture of two or three tablespoons of baking soda, a teaspoon or so of dawn, and drizzle in peroxide until it creates a nice foamy paste. That mixture will clean almost anything! I use it the most on laundry that has stains. But it works on stove tops, sinks, countertops, showers, and just about everything else. I even took sharpie marks out of a fabric seat cushion with that stuff. I just have to use an old toothbrush, and I can get just about anything clean with that mixture. Give it a try!
This works great for stains. I would like to know what these companies use in their stain cleaner that can sit on the stain for a week! Something to keep it from drying out.
I've recently used a mixture of two tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, 1 teaspoon of dawn soap and one cup of warm water to spot clean some very nasty tar like stains from my beige carpet. My husband obviously tracked something yucky in on his workboots. I thought the stains were hopeless due to the tar like consistency. I lightly sprayed the mixture on the stain and immediately vacuumed it up with my wet/dry vac since the alcohol isn't good for the carpet. No more stains in my living room. It's amazing what we can do with such simple inexpensive products. And it's fairly easy to spend over $100.00 each month buying commercial cleaners. My new favorite thing is actually Murphy's oil soap. It cleans walls and doors like a champ!!! My husband suggested it and I've been quite impressed with all it is useful for.
Thank you!
Thank you; l’m definitely going to try it!
@Sandy Ewald it could be propylene glycol (glycerin).
I was without insurance for 2 years and used baking soda to brush my teeth. When I finally was able to go in for a cleaning the Hygienst exclaimed, "Your teeth are clean." Beside remove plaque it removes stains.
Hi Nancy
I keep baking soda in a dispenser (sugar, flour, etc.) just like the kind you see in Italian restaurants that dispense red pepper flakes. This makes it easy to shake the baking soda where you need it for cleaning. You could also use an empty spice container. The key is to use a dispenser with small round holes!🧂I just refill the dispenser from the large bag as needed.
I do the same thing.
Such a great tip!
I save and wash out the tall grated cheese containers and fill with baking soda a lot easier to use for cleaning by sprinkling it.
I keep it in a pint mason jar with the lid from Parmesan cheese which has shaker holes and a spoonable side. That one is under the sink, and I have another in the spice cabinet.
Great idea!!!
I knew Borax killed ants and roaches, I didn't know Baking Soda would, I learned something new.
Cancer cells love sugar, so after watching another video, everyday I would fix for my sister and myself a cup of water (room temperature) a teaspoon of baking soda with a little sweet syrup. If the cancer wanted the sugar it was going to have to take the sodium in with it, cancer does not like sodium--does it work and does it work on all types --don't know but what I do know is the doctors ask what we were doing and they said whatever it is keep doing it.
Great info
My wife shows me that it is Great for diaper rash too. She Put a few tablespoons in our daughters bath water and it literally cleared it up by the time bath time was over. I was blown away at how fast it worked!
IRON1: I was not aware baking soda warm water would clear up diaper rash. Great!! Jim
At age 16 I was stung by a nest of ground wasps...I was wearing a bikini & dragging a hose to water plants when the whole nest attacked. I was covered in all sorts of places in bites😭 My sil got out the baking soda and made a paste to apply to every bite, I was a mess but I wasn't in pain & after 2hrs I went swimming and you could hardly see and skin discoloration due to the bites...or stings, if you prefer that term.
Try unseasoned meat tenderizer next time. Kinda still hurts very briefly then just put a bandaid over it and forget it. You'll never know you were stung. No swelling no marks just vanish and have to look very hard to even find the original spot.
Wasps do not bite in battle. They use their best weapon which is the stinger.
So, it is most certainly a sting with its rear appendage. The stinger.
@@camper14 that's how my did it
A pinch of wet tobacco on the sting will pull out the poison.
I did the same thing last summer with a yellow jacket nest. I called my Aunt, who was raised on a farm, she told me about baking soda and ice. Immediate relief and no red welts.
Loved this video - I buy baking soda and white vinegar in large quantities and have them delivered. They are great for laundry, dishwasher and fridge hygiene. To clean tiles as in your video, I usually coat them in soda, then add vinegar and let is froth and leave it for 10 mins, then dip a scourer in lemon juice and sprinkle some salt on the tiles and give them a scrub - usually brings everything up a treat :) My cupboard staples (Salt, lemon, vinegar, soda, instant coffee and dish soap) work wonders round the house (Instant coffee in a small dish is great for removing smells from fridges too) - thanks ever so much for all your videos - they inspire so much :)
@Simon Catterall where do you order from?
@@rwind656 I think last time it was Amazon - 4 x 5 Litre cartons of vinegar, 1 x 5 litre carton of lemon juice and a tub of bicarb/baking powder is SO much cheaper and easier to store than lots of individual items from the local supermarket, here in the UK :)
I make a soap paste and leave on the tile/grout for a few hours. Come back and spray off. Works great.
@Simon Catterall how much does the tub of baking soda weigh? Those big bags she is using, down in Texas are $13.
@@cindyjohnson5242 The tub I used is 5kg - brand name Hexeal. I’m not sure if it’s available over there but it’s good value here 😊
I use the soda mixed with lavender oil on bee stings, it’s our miracle solution here.
I used baking soda to brush my teeth. First I put a couple drops of essential oil of peppermint on my tooth brush and then put the baking soda on my tooth brush. I use it to clean and for an upset stomach. Incredible stuff to have around the house.
Your videos like this are so valuable! Everyone needs basic information like this - it should be common knowledge, but too many things have fallen by the wayside in our modern and too commercial world. Thanks for spreading a good, practical education!
My mom used the paste to draw out bee stingers & to sooth the pain. She also used it for upset stomachs. The stuff is great for many things
Exactly what I thought too. I always used it for both of those things. Not real tasty but it works to calm stomach
I used a baking soda/water paste inside a glove finger to treat a grease burn on my finger tip (I FRIED my finger in oil!) the other day. That with ibuprofen, benadryl, and sleep.
@@LadyWeasel so sorry. Pray you are feeling better
@@DutchAlaskagirl I definitely am! Now my finger is just dry on the top. No blister. I love using this trick for minor burns. My 7 year old also requests it for mosquito bites.
My hubby stepped on a sliver of glass while we were camping (a mirror broke in our camper trailer) & it lodged in his foot.
He tried everything to get it out but just forced it deeper. Finally I made a paste with baking soda & a few drops each of water and melaleuca oil. I put a dab on the wound, covered it with a band-aid, and prayed. The next morning the sliver was sitting on the band-aid. Really incredible stuff! Always take it camping for wounds, burns, putting out fires, etc.
Fire: Thanks for the information. It sounds like your husband has made a full recovery (or is in process). Jim
You could try a piece of duct tape for that
I enjoyed the experiment, being born in 1950, growing up, I well remember Mama making this little balls out of baking soda and condensed milk, she put them in back of kitchen cabinets, window seals in the corners, it kept the roaches away. Love baking soda and use it for many things to. Thank You for sharing, I know the younger generation can learn a lot here. ✝️💟
Did she use sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk? Thank you!
@@janiewilliams5803 condensed milk, I use them today and it works.
Jane I owe you big apology, I am so sorry, but it was not baking soda my mother and I used. Getting old is not a crime, but it sure gets to be a inconvenience sometimes.
It was BORIC ACID and condensed milk. Make a thick paste and roll into little balls. About the size of a small marble are smaller. Please be careful not to put where children, cats fur babies are animals can get to. My apologies again to anyone I have confused. Especially here to Pam and Jim.
Thank you, sweet lady. I appreciate your response.
@@janiewilliams5803 Thank You !!!
I love, love, love you two! I have binged watched for days (having just found you) and, I'm learning so much. Thank you; I'm so grateful.
A couple of weeks ago I learned you can make baking powder with one part baking soda and 2 parts cream tartar. If you make a bunch at a time you make need to add arrow root or corn startch to keep it from clumping. I haven't tried it yet because I am using up the baking powder I have because I paid more for it so I could get it aluminum free. If you make it it will be aluminum free. Then I watched a video at rain country and she had it in one of her this and that videos. Pam you and Jim do such a great job and I love you r tests on camera to. Thank you so much.
Thanks for writing this! I had no idea baking powder has aluminum in it! I'm looking forward to making my own now.
Just purchased a bag that size. Forgot about the many remedies baking soda provided my parents and grandparents. Love baking soda. 🌻
My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. We are newcomers at prepping but we get a lot of our advice and ideas from you. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
It's Friday nite, 10 pm. I am im bed, in my jammies and I just watched a woman clean an already pristine kitchen sink.
I am living the life I tell ya... living the life!! You know you jelly - no cap. 😂 lol
I enjoy your channel so much, and all that you provide for us! I am a big fan of baking soda also!I just used some on an old glass tea cup and it got all of the stains out! Thanks again.
Seeing as I have an affinity towards math & chemistry, finding your videos warms my heart & inspires my mind. While my children were young & home, one expression they often heard from me was, "Chemistry at work" & then I gave them a mini science explanation. If they wanted more info, we'd explore further learning together. So, your channel is an educational joy to me. Your botulism video was the 1st I saw from you & I keep digging through other videos & find them stimulating & educational!! I am thankful for your generosity in filming & sharing the information you provide.
I think you are listening in at our house lol I’ve been going through my cabinets and came across 4 boxes of baking soda. 2 of which were opened. I put 1 in the fridge and the other is sitting on the counter until I can figure out what to use it for and bam there is your video! Thank you so much for all you and Jim do! I greatly appreciate it! Have a great week!
Wonderful demonstration! Thank you so much for sharing your moms “miracle paste” I will never forget that!! I also buy a big bag like that at Sams Club and get lots of smaller boxes when I’m shopping elsewhere and see them on sale. Baking soda & vinegar are toxic free cleaning staples for sure!! You can also add some essential oils to make things smell nicer too!! Happy Cleaning! 🧼 😃❤️
I am sure, you could have given us a list of 500 things you can use baking soda for, but just in case someone isn’t aware, I will share a few of my favorite uses.
When making fresh tomato soup, I put just a scant pinch of b soda in to help cut a bit of the acid
If I burn something in a pot or pan, I rinse out, drizzle some Dawn, then add baking soda and make a paste. I let it sit, minutes, or hours, depending how bad it burned. I then add some water, maybe 1/2cup for a small pan, and I let it boil- but watch it closely, because it will foam up as it boils. After a few mins, I take a pad and scrub the pot. It will look like new. If it did not, repeat, and maybe let the paste sit overnight. I have never had this fail !
If you have something (such as a flashlight or radio, or anything that uses batteries), and the batteries corroded, throw away the batteries, then simply brush off as much of the acid as you can (be careful of your eyes). Then make a paste of b soda and water. Using a Qtip, or old toothbrush, and gently scrub, until the corrosion is removed. This can also be used on your car’s battery.
When you squeeze lemons sprinkle soda in your sink and use the lemon as your scrubber. Lemon scented soda cleaner. Or same method with salt to clean your cutting boards. Also a very effective toothpaste.
For cutting board, do you mean lemon + soda + salt? Thanks for sharing!
@@ashke1348 cutting boards I only use salt and lemon.
@@ashke1348 Just lemon and salt on cutting boards
Thank you for clearing up the name… I am in Australia, and I always thought what you called baking soda, was what we called baking powder !!!!!!! I’m glad to now know it’s actually Bi Carb soda…. Brilliant ideas for cleaning also… I learn something important every time I watch :). Xo
Great video Pam. I also love the many uses of baking soda. Wish I could find big bags like that here. It’s also great for putting out fires. Since we heat with wood, we also have baking soda by our wood furnace. Thank you for talking about this valuable product
The vinegar and Dawn soap is our family go to for cleaning the shower and tub enclosures. Been using that one for decades!
Once cleaned the Chrome fixtures will shine like new. Really worth the try 👍👍
It also makes an excellent drain cleaner combined with the vinegar (not mixed together). Stuff the drain with as much baking soda as you can get in there and then slowly pour in little chugs of vinegar from the jug. I go really slowly. Seems to work better that way. I used to have to go in the basement and clean out the trap underneath the tub once a year. Not anymore
I love your videos. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! Thanks so much!
Great demonstration and awareness brought today. Thank you.
I try to use all natural cleaners, so I am a fan of baking soda and vinegar. I have out on my counter right now to make some aromatic shower melts with baking soda, a bit of citric acid, witch hazel and essential oils.
My appliance repairman who is well seasoned said those who use vinegar as a rinse aid in dishwashers and washing machines will find their rubber seals breaking down from vinegar. So I'm leary of vinegar in those uses, but love it for other uses.
I do try to use all natural cleaners but sometimes what works and is most convenient is what I've gone to. I use my not so natural dawn dish soap for so many things. I was taught to heat my 2 c vinegar before adding it to my 1.5 cups dish soap sprayer. But yours looks just great! I love it for shower cleaning, grills, shirt collars and when I'm not filling my sink with dishwater, I spray it on my pot. Anything I can rinse well after spraying it.
Hygiene and cleaning can not be overlooked in our preparations. Thanks!
Hello Mrs. Pam and Mr. Jim! My mother (RIP) always taught me to keep a box of baking soda in the fridge and I do. I have used it for baking, making toothpaste and in my homemade laundry detergent. I had no idea it was good for burns. To see it work on your shower floor with the vinegar (which I keep a gallon of to clean my meats with) along with Dawn dishwashing liquid is amazing. It's hard to find baking soda in large amounts around where I live so I'll have to buy a few boxes extra just to keep on hand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 🙂
I don't know where you live, but you can find the large bags like that one at Walmart. It is in the pool cleaning and shocking supplies. I have used it for years so I always buy this big bag. I also use the equal parts vinegar and dishsoap to do my bathroom cleaning and works on laundry stains. I also keep a bottle by the kitchen sink and give my dishes a squirt to wash them. It works great!
Hello! RoseRed Homestead, I cook a lot of black beans and I found out that baking soda and hydrogen peroxide will bleach your white enamel pot back to white. You have to heat over fire and let it fizz as you swirl the mixture around in the pot gently. It works great. Thank you for sharing. I am the who wrote you about mill grinder. Blessings!
I always take notes in your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! So much to learn it’s exciting!!!
Love it, thank you for sharing this. You’re an inspiration and I love your science/ experiential videos. Baking soda & vinegar are my household/ personal cleaners for everything. Best toothpaste for healthy gums, no tartar, ( haven’t been to a dentist is hum 20 plus years) great face mask treatment and the best, gets out red wine stain on cotton clothing - at least that was my experience, but if it’s a tough stain I go for ALL - baking soda, lemon juice,/vinegar, salt, maybe add seltzer water. Worked as my daughter a surgeon/scientist was happy I saved her slacks. Hey I take the little crumbs 😁
Hi Pam. Here’s an idea for a video. Pressure cooking e.g., chicken, then dehydrating and vacuum packing. REI has some backpacking food prep videos using this method. I think it fits in nicely with your three prong core mission of food security, etc.
Whenever I see an American using baking soda it's always poured out of some huge box or packet being used for multiple purposes all over the house. In the UK if you look for baking soda in the supermarket you'll be buying a tiny little pot from the baking aisle containing like 6 tablespoons of baking soda.
Here too I Irela d
I have very hard water and I get a brown ring in my toilet.. I pour in a half cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar.. let it set for a bit and it cleans it up..
I also rinse store bought veggies in baking soda and water before they are stored in the fridge.. also do the vinegar and soda to soak my dentures.. great video.. thanks
I make my own goo gone using equal parts soda and oil. Love it, no nasty smell or chemicals.
Thanks for this tip. I can't find my goo gone. I think hubby has absconded with it. I need to remove the sticker from a pet gate and didn't want to buy another bottle because I know I just recently bought a big one. Now I have an inexpensive solution. Yay!!!
Thank you Pam and Jim for another great video! I also buy these huge bags of baking soda. I make the same paste you made too but put it on bee and wasp stings to suck the venom out. I will have to try it for burns now also. Another thing I do is put 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of Epsom salts in my bath with several drops of lavender essential oil. The bath is so relaxing and the baking soda purges your pores. I used to have painful back acne, and now it's all gone. Thank you again for such a fun video!
Another great video! I use baking soda to clean my white baking dishes. Or any that have stubborn residue left after washing. Thanks, Pam and Jim!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and your Mother’s knowledge. 🥰
Great topic! And yes, the tile bath stall was improved😊. I’m an absolute lover of baking soda, vinegar & 3% hydroxide peroxide as bases for my home cleaners/ remedies. I have allergic reactions to a lot of commercial cleaners, plus I know some of those types of cleaners could be deadly for my dogs & cats. Thank you so much for sharing this info. Love to both you hip, savvy people😘❤️
Hi Cheryl
I fixed a glogged/slow drain in my shower yesterday with baking soda & vinegar. Did it in 2 different batches, but it worked. Pour the baking soda down in & then slowly pour the vinegar. I never tried it before, but so happy it worked
❤❤❤Great information baking soda - I tweeted it a tad cleaning the bathroom tile/tub. I did excatually what you did but after spreading the baking soda I sprayed the soap and vinegar on top of the baking soda which see to give it an extra boost, I left it for about and hour and a half (forgetting about it) ran a scrub brush over it the rinsed and it beautiful. AND what's great no chemical fumes and bathroom smells fresh! Thank You I Love this channel and the Quality of information you share!
Enjoyed another very informative article. Thank you so much.
Love this Micro Moment Monday!!!! Did not know that Baking soda can be used for SO many things!!!!! Thank you for sharing and for the quizzes!!! (Yes, I got the questions correct)!!!!!!!
I think if you buy a stronger vinegar, you'll get better cleaning results in your shower. Most vinegar is 5%, but you can get it in much higher concentrates like 20% or 35%.
Hi JG, where do you buy stronger vinegar?
You guys put out great videos! I always forget how much baking soda can do. You are an indispensable resource for me. When I want to know something new I head over to Rose Red Homestead and do a search! 9 times out of 10 you have it! Pam - are you a teacher? You must be! Thank you! Still can't wait for your and your sister's book to come out!!!
❤️ Love listening to your Vlogs! Thanks you!
THX for the great ideas. You can also use baking soda on a car battery to get rid of the acid. 💕🌸💕
Thank you for your Micro Moments info. It is amazing how much baking soda and vinegar can do. I picked up a book that has many more moments that would be good to have on hand "G... P... old-time vinegar, baking soda, and a 101 more problem solvers...Jerry Baker." A recipe from there you could try: 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup salt, 1 cup borax combine and store in tight closed container. Use it like powdered cleaners. I feel better using natural items to clean my home with. Jim is becoming quite the camera man. Thanks much. Find all your videos very helpful.
Hi Margie
I adore you! I love my mother with all my heart and no one could ever replace her, but if I were to choose someone to be a wonderful mother and friend, it would be you. Your kindness and practical intelligence are so healing in so many ways. May God bless you and your family!
Sabula: Thank you for heart-felt comments. Jim
I love it!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!!👏👏👏
My mother would make a baking soda and water paste a little more wet and put it on our bee stings. Took the pain out of it very quickly.
Thanks for another great video!
Hi Deborah
Your videos are so delightful, especially when you add the science. Can you do a micro moment on the many uses of vinegar? I've been using honey on burns, but will try the baking soda paste next time. Thank you, Pam and Jim for all you do.
This is an awesome recommendation!
Me encantó el video, muy práctico. Me gustan los videos donde se aprende con lo que tenemos en casa. Saludos desde Bogotá.
Hi Pam, nicely demonstrated and explained. I use both the baking soda and vinegar in my foot bath. Amazing softness and cleanliness they feel afterwards. And I’m the second to the youngest of Ten Children and mother used those remedies too with the soda. Thanks for bringing those memories back and explaining the chemistry side of it all. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing ❤️

How do you use it for foot bath?
You can either sprinkle it into your water or and using a small nail brush I apply some onto it after dampening the brush with water and scrub the nails, toes and foot. Just something that I do.
Love your work, thank you! After you have used the Baking Soda in the fridge put it down your drains. Next, clean your hot pots using Vinegar, bring the Vinegar to a boil, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then the fun science...pour the Hot Vinegar over the Baking Soda in the drain and STEP BACK!!! The reaction cleans your drains safely.

Isn't this what kids use for their volcano experiments?
I love baking soda I use that and vinegar to do all my cleaning around the house because I have several parrots and some parakeets and my other animals and I don't like using any of the chemical concoctions I know a lot of uses for baking soda but I as always have learned more from your podcast thank you so much
I just cleaned my oven this past week with vinegar and baking soda
We are the same way. We have 2 parrots so no chemicals in our house whatsoever that’s including cookware.
All your videos are so informative. Thank you for all the great tips.
I have used it to exfoliate my skin...just add some with liquid soap & scrub. Marvelous.
you are so smart..... and i love it
If you get stung by a wasp, put some ammonia on the sting immediately and it will neutralize the venom (which is mildly acidic) and get rid of the pain. I haven't tried it with bee stings, only wasp stings, and it was excellent! Same principal as baking soda and immediate relief.
One of the main ingredients of comet cleanser is baking soda. Great grease cleaner. I use it on my stove - just sprinkle heavily with baking soda, wet it down, let set, scrub off :-)
Thank you🌺 for your Micro-moments. I love them!💖
You are very welcome.
I’m adopting you as my mom, thank you for the tips! ❤️
I so agree with the baking soda for burns. Dropped 2 c boiling water i pulled from microwave on my barefoot. Put my foot in dish pan with cold water while i made the paste. I covered the top of my foot with baking soda paste immediate relief. When i started feeling the heat from the burn rinsed foot and reapplied. No blister or scar. Went to bed that night with no pain.
My 7 year old daughter really enjoyed this episode ☺️.. as did I
Cate: Fantastic!! Jim
Great information! Thank you for sharing!
This is great! I’ve used a dishwasher pod and vinegar on tough jobs too, but you need to let it sit overnight on that shower floor.
Hi Pam! =) For that shower tile, if you or someone you know has a steam cleaning machine that has a brush, it'll work wonders. I have a handheld one and cleaned all the grout from my kitchen floors. Nice Video! =)
Plain Epsom salts is a great idea for pantry too.
I wish you would have been my home economics teacher in high school. You make everything fun and I'm almost 70 years old. You have the absolute best Channel
Thank you so very much. We appreciate that!
WOW! Just saw this bag in your video! I've got 30 kgs and use it everyday. Thank you for your video. I will send it to my daughter to show her that I'm not the only one. :)
I use a bit of baking soda mixed with corn starch as an underarm deodorant powder. I haven't bought underarm deodorant in a very long time. There's no going back for me. The powder is amazing!
Stacy: Yes, I remember seeing that advertised on TV about a thousand years ago. Jim
Pam, you're going to have people searching high and low for litmus paper😀. Baking soda is also used with Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) to make it set up faster and stronger. I've also seen this mixture used as a filler putty for small imperfections.
I’m saving this video and the comments! Great info!
I got burned very bad with hot oil on my leg N my Aunt used baking soda and Vaseline to put on my leg and I had no scar tissue N it looks great 👍 !!! It happened when I was younger !!! Great idea for sharing with everyone !!!
Hi Nici
Thrush and yeast infections down below too.
I was also born in the 1940's. Nature has been far more merciful to you than to me. I had no idea that baking soda had so many uses. I've only used it for acid stomach. I'm going to add this to my prepper pantry. Thanks!
Could you please tell us how you use it for acid stomach? I had HORRIBLE acid reflux years ago and got rid of it by eating apples. But, it does return periodically and I just eat an apple. I would like an alternative as sometimes I run out of apples. TYFS 💕🌸💕
@@coolstamper -- To a cup of tap water add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and stir well. Drink it, and a few seconds later lean over like you're tying your shoes. This distributes the mixture all around inside your stomach. You'll usually burp a couple times, which means the alkaline soda has mixed with the stomach acid and gives off gas.
@@Dr.Pepper001 TY so much! 💕🌸💕
@@coolstamper to prevent that, I take 1 t.sp.with good worm water, on empty stomach in a morning, right after I weiking up..
Works very well, when getting some cold symptoms, poisoning,relieving some toxins..
@@Dr.Pepper001 TY 💕🌸💕
Thx for the tips. Have a nice night.
I would have never guessed that you were born in the forties , lots of wisdom there and we sure can learn a lot from the old timers. Thank you for sharing with us.. I'm from the sixties . lol
Pam and Jim, this was so much fun. I love doing experiments like this, just to see if it works. Yes, baking soda is a must. My grandfather loved using baking soda as a toothpaste. I use it now for a stain remover on teeth after brushing occasionally. My son found a recipe for upset stomachs making a drink much like Alka Seltzer. I don’t know what he uses exactly, but baking soda was one thing. Yes, it is absolutely necessary to have in your pantry. Thank you for that fun video.
Alka Seltzer is just Baking soda and Citrus acid with aspirin. You can make an easy non-aspirin variation buy mixing both ingredients equally in a jar. When you add water - FIZZZ - Alka Seltzer.
@@niko2137 That is why the citric acid is out when he makes it! So aspirin with that mixture, huh? So nice to know. Thank you.
@@texassews535 yep they add asprin 325mg per serving. I think the citrus acid is suppose help release some of the gasses before the baking soda hits the stomach acid.
Baking soda does work well as an antacid but using it too often can cause stomach problems.
@@pstoneking3418 yes, too much can ruin your digestion by upsetting the ph
If this was a test I would have passed on the acids and alkaline. 😁....love your videos! ❤️
I use both vinegar and baking for washing clothes in addition to cleaning, we love it.
Thanks for another great info video!!!!
I also use it as an ingredient to make my laundry soap! I also buy the big ones. Blessings!
Would you mind sharing how much you use? My recipe is 2 bars Zote, 1 bar Fels Naptha, 9c Borax, 9c washing soda. I put the mixture through the food processor to get a uniform fine powder. I also use vinegar as a rinse/fabric softener. Thanks in advance.
@@dianeladico1769 I think you just substitute baking soda for the washing soda. They do pretty much the same thing. You can make your own washing soda by baking the baking soda in the oven. I also use vinegar as a rinse agent in laundry. You can use it in your dishwasher too.
@@laurel7175 Thank you so much. I'm about to make a new batch so I will try it.
I mix equal parts of baking soda and borax to make the absolutely best degreaser I have used! I used it on the pan I cook a turkey on. Very quickly it absorbs all the grease, making it easy to remove.
Hi Anna
Must start keeping..very useful
Love your channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍
1/2 tsp. of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water also good for acid indigestion. I like it better than tums.
It is some amazing stuff
I just bought this same bag and wondered what to do with it all. Thank you.
Its good for the liier box also Great for so many uses
