Bi-Carb Soda

[icyfroth]

I used some on my kitchen benchtop as per my neighbour's recommendation. Came up a treat!

Then I used it on the floor. It lifted a lot of grime off I didn't even realise was there!

Didn't like using it in the bathroom though. I took heaps off rinsing to get the white residue off.

I like the microfibre sponges for the bathroom.

Hubby fills his truckie travel mug up with bi-carb and water and lets it soak for a few days every so often. It gets the icky mouldy coffee smell out.

We also use it to clean battery terminals.

1/2 teaspoon mixed in a glss of water kills heartburn

stawka it does too, I made hubby drink some one night when I got sick of his whining about heartburn. He gave me a very odd look, kinda like a This stuff eats through corrosion on battery terminals and you want me to swallow it are you mad type look.

But he did, and it worked.

I use Bi-Carb to give the kitchen sinks a bit of a shine.  It removes the tea stains from where I have dropped my tea bag into it.

To clean silver jewellery, scrunch up some alfoil and place in a bowl/plastic container.  Put jewellery in.  Sprinkle heavily with Bi-Carb and pour on boiling water.  It shifts the tarnish off.

right, I'm off to do some house work. I can't afford any more therapy sessions.

not bi-carb.....but read the other day that half a teaspoon of baking powder in with water and eggs you are hard boiling-helps the shells come off easily.
