Grab the Baking Soda

Baking Soda is Safe for Your Family and the Environment

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

Clean up Spills
React quickly when spills or accidents on carpets occur by soaking up as much of the spill as possible. Clean the stain according to the manufacturer's directions and allow to dry. When the area is completely dry, sprinkle liberally with Arm & Hammer Carpet & Room Odor Eliminator and let sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming.

In the Kitchen

Clean Your Silver
Use a baking soda paste made with 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub mixture onto the silver with a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry for shining sterling, silver-plate or even stainless steel serving pieces.

Clean Your Microwave
Baking soda on a fresh, damp sponge cleans gently inside and outside the microwave and never leaves a harsh chemical smell. Rinse well with water.

Clean Your Food Prep Area
Sprinkle natural, food-safe baking soda onto a clean damp sponge or cloth and wipe clean, rinse thoroughly and then dry. Great for counters, stainless steel sinks, cutting boards, plastic containers, oven tops and more!

Wash Your Veggies
Baking soda is the food safe way to clean dirt and residue off fresh fruit and vegetables. Just sprinkle a little on wet produce, then gently scrub and rinse.
