Handyman Tip - Baking Soda Uses

Al Carrell: The baking soda people are really pretty smart. They figured out that baking soda will absorb odors and so they got everybody in the country putting a box of baking soda in the refrigerator. But there are a lot of other handy uses for it. Well for one thing, if you have a grease fire, which we just simulated, baking soda will put out a grease fire. Baking soda's also a good cleaner. For example, if you've got metal that needs to be polished up, just take a little damp rag and put a little baking soda on there and start rubbing and before long you've got a nice, shine to whatever metal you're trying to clean up. See how nice that cleaned up? Also, you can use baking soda when you have mildew in a book because if you'll just sprinkle a little on the pages where the mildew is, rub it around and let it sit for a couple of days, it'll take that mildew out of your priceless book. Also, you're going to find that the same thing that applies to the refrigerator also applies to the cooler that you took on the camping trip. If you put a little baking soda in there after you get back it's not going to have that musty smell when you get ready to go on your next fishing trip. And you know how when you're working with rubber gloves and you try to take 'em off your hands, all sweaty on the inside, you just can't get 'em off. But if you'll sprinkle a little baking soda in there, it's going to make it a lot easier. These are not half-baked ideas. Contact us on the Internet or write to us and we'll be glad to send you a list of a whole bunch more ideas on using baking soda.
