baking/carb soda

Hi all,

Just passing.......... is baking soda the same things as bi carb. soda?

Not that I'm cooking anything with it........ am just browsing websites looking for alternative /
environ. friendly ways to clean things, particularly around the kitchen.

Yes, it's the same thing. And no reason not to cook with it. I add it to soda bread and things like
that; it's a rising agent. Also good in a glass of water if you have an upset stomach; sort of a poor-
man's Alka-seltzer.

Also odor-absorber, as advertised. Arm&Hammer sells a 'cat box freshener' for about twice the price.
I called their 800 # some time ago asking how it was different from plain ol' baking soda. Not a
bit. The plain ol' works well to keep the odor under control.

It's a fair cleaning product, being mildly abrasive. You can brush your teeth with it.

Ah yes! put a box of baking soda in the fridge or freezer, then after a month dump it down the
disposal to freshen that up too! It dissolves quickly so no need to worry about blockages.

I use baking soda to brush my teeth occasionally. Notice how many toothpastes that cost $5 a tube
have baking soda in them as a "whitener"? Heh... 25 cents a box in some places 🙂

Bi carb is good for cleaning teeth. As the book says....... "Once you get used to the taste you'll
never use toothpaste again."
