If you want to get your little ones excited about cleaning....just spray some vinegar over the soda in the tub and watch the bubbles :o)Completely harmless, edible (not sure about the taste) and fun.<BR/>I clean my floors with vinegar too...safe and I love the smell.<BR/>Really have enjoyed your blog!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953023131915534135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-76897303073256886472007-06-30T08:35:00.000-04:002007-06-30T08:35:00.000-04:00Mrs. U,Do you mind giving us a few more uses for b...Mrs. U,<BR/><BR/>Do you mind giving us a few more uses for baking soda when cleaning...just a little list....<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729217616060227200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-53767864717080518102007-06-29T18:16:00.000-04:002007-06-29T18:16:00.000-04:00I need to proof read - sorry!

I like lemon balm, or lavender the best, but sometimes cinnamon oil or eucalyptus finds it's way into my shaker! I use the same sprinkler to freshen my carpet before vacuuming!<BR/><BR/>You could recycle a dry parmesean cheese for this purpose, but I have an old Arm & Hammer sprinkler - I wish they still sold them!<BR/><BR/>If your drain is running slow throw 1/2 cup white vinegar down the drain after your baking soda clean and it will clean things out for you like soap scum and hairy monsters!Heather Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563913535839786305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-28668666540494295672007-06-29T11:37:00.000-04:002007-06-29T11:37:00.000-04:00Baking soda is the only thing that works well with...Baking soda is the only thing that works well without scratching in those new fibreglass tubs.

I loaded up the cups and ran it. <BR/>Those dishes were more clean than we've had in a year! Seriously! We've had lots of issues with 7,8 or TEN dishes still being dirty and covered in crud, but they were all clean except one lone bowl that was packed too close to another one so the crud couldn't get out. <BR/>I don't see the point in going back to Cascade!Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30507214.post-14824009523122164792007-06-29T08:41:00.000-04:002007-06-29T08:41:00.000-04:00I love using baking soda to clean.
