Baking Soda Cleanser

Over the years, we've grabbed the familiar yellow box to solve problems ranging from garlic in the 'fridge to bee stings on the toddler. You've probably discovered other uses for baking soda, and we could create a separate topic just to explore new ways of getting our money's worth from this product.

Actually, one of the things I least suspected would be a good use for baking soda is as a replacement for harsh cleansers that bring out the worst of my allergies. Use baking soda with water as a basic cleanser. It provides the scrubbim you need without the bleach and other additives your skin does not need.
