Some uses for BAKING SODA Skip produce washes—just put some baking soda on a damp sponge, scrub and rinse. Soak hair brushes and combs in a mixture of 1 teaspoon baking soda and a small amount of warm water. Rinse and dry. Before you store your patio furniture for the season, scatter baking soda under chair cushions. Keep your grill clean all summer long by putting some baking soda on a damp brush, scrubbing the grate, then rinsing.

Add 1 cup of baking soda to your next load of laundry (along with your regular liquid detergent) to get clothes cleaner and brighter. Remove baked-on residue by shaking a generous amount of baking soda on pots and pans. Then add hot water and dish detergent, let sit for 15 minutes and wash as usual.
