Mar 30 2025 - Time for Cleaning Hacks

 

When does Spring Cleaning end? It seems to have no end date.  There seems to be lots to explore this year on the topic.  Maybe it's that AI retrieval on google..

My mind turned to baking soda - how many uses are there for baking soda?  I am prepared for surprise.  There are many and here's the silly one:  minor indirect effects on weight loss.  


"Claims abound that baking soda, when combined with water, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice, is especially effective at helping you shed excess body fat. However, there’s little science to back this up."

My Guess:  drink a glassful of this quickly and you will throw up everything you ate. Do this after each meal and weight loss will avalanche your way.  I don't think any science is needed here to prove this theory. Will you be alive? That's another probability.

Their Guess:  "Another theory suggests that adding baking soda to your bathwater will help you lose weight by replenishing your levels of magnesium and sulfate — two nutrients touted to boost your metabolism and eliminate toxins. Yet, this theory is not backed up by science either."

So we move on from the silly to the more interesting. Here are the uses of baking soda:

1. mouthwash
2. teeth whitener
3. deodorant
4. fridge odour neutralizer
5. air freshener
6. whitening agent for laundry
7. kitchen cleaner
8. garbage odour eliminator
9. carpet stain remover
10. multipurpose bathroom cleaner
11. pesticide remover for fuit and vegetables
12. silverware polisher
13. scorched pot cleaner
14. oil and grease fire extinguisher
15. homemade weed killer

There are more uses than this - another article outlines it as a face exfoliator, foot soother, splinter remover, itchy skin relief, and so on. There are medicinal benefits of various sorts - in all Dr. Axe's article outlines 34 uses  HERE.  

And when the weather gets warmer, you can wash your car with it.
