Baking Soda Hack: My miracle Cleaner

My 4yo is proudly giving me a tour of all the marker spots that freckle her dollie's plastic head. What does this make me think besides "I really have to keep those markers up higher"? I give a little thanks that I bought a 5lb bag of baking soda from the warehouse store.

I've used baking soda to remove permanent marker from:
  • aforementioned dollie
  • floor tiles
  • fingers and fingernails
  • plastic table
I also use it for scrubbing the bathroom sink, washing stubborn dishes, freshening unwashed hair, the grease fire in the oven (oops), and as a cheap facial exfoliator.

The 5lb bag is used to fill empty spice shakers in the kitchen and bathroom, high baking soda use areas. I'm probably barely halfway through after a year of heavy use!

  1. Awesome. Another favorite of mine: removing the slight film that cooking oil leaves on my anodized skillets.

    Also: making a little volcano with white vinegar to dislodge minor drain blockages.

  2. Yes! Thanks Chaya for reminding me! I was stuck on scrubbing when I wrote this.The volcano is great for minor drain issues. It can speed up a sluggish one and leaves a fresher scent.

    Not to mention a classic science experiment to amaze the kiddos :)
