if i use vinegar and baking soda to clean drain……need ventilation?
i used vinegar and baking soda to clean my clogged drain…do I need to ventilate the bathroom? I mean it’s non-toxic right? Plus I live in a studio the room is small…..
i’m just worried about inhaling the chemical reaction of hte Baking Soda And Vinegar.
Don’t believe it is toxic. However, if you are prone to lung disorders, ventilation is a good idea.
BTW: That combination will also exfoliate oily skin well.

My most boring job ever
A long time ago, across the world in England, I had a series of student jobs. Last week I wrote about the best, but today’s story is about the most boring. I worked several vacations in a big bakery, filling in for workers who were on holiday. Because of this, I did almost every job in the place, and got to know the regular workers well. Fortunately they liked me, so they did not test me too … Paper Mario Walkthrough – Part 23 – Cake Baking Princess/ Tuna Looking Whale

Baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents in baked goods. They create the necessary gas for cookies, pancakes, etc. to rise. Ener-G Calcium Carbonate works just like baking soda, but it’s completely sodium free.

and have you noticed that it cuts odor? i want to try it in my washcloths and towels because they are quite odorous. so far after washing them in hot water with organic laundry detergent, baking soda and oxi clean they still stink. i won’t buy laundry detergent that isn’t organic so don’t bother suggesting that. but if you know of a particular organic brand that is most effective or if you’ve found that white vinegar does the trick, please do respond. thank you.
Vinegar in the wash is great…. but only use it in the rinse cycle… if you put it in with the detergent, it doesn’t serve the purpose AND it breaks down the soap so it won’t work either.
Another really good idea is to add 1 cup of ammonia to the wash cycle with your detergent… it kills any odors.
How to Do Laundry : How to Wash Clothes With Baking Soda & Water
It is like the perfect thing. You can use it for cooking, cleaning, it makes your teeth whiter, it keeps your refrigerator smelling fresh and it makes your hair shinier. Is there anything you can’t do with baking soda? What else are some tricks you can use with it.
i really dont think there is anything u cant use it for but here are some more things you can use it for :
AROUND THE HOUSE
Smelly Fabrics: That cute shirt that you think you’ve finally smelled out the pits of is not necessarily DOA. Soak those smelly sponges, clothes or cloth diapers in a mix of water and baking soda overnight.
Smelly Fabrics still in laundry bin: Not planning to tackle that overflowing hamper this week? Sprinkle some baking soda to get you through the week.
Shoe Desmelling: Sprinkle some in those sneakers regularly to keep smelly foot bacteria at bay.
Carpet Cleaning: Sprinkle over your rug, and let it sit for an hour. Then vacuum.
KITCHEN
Fruit Washing: A bit of baking soda and a sponge helps really clean those fruits and vegetables which have touched lord-knows-what on their route from field to truck to supermarket to you.
Microwave Cleaning: This is my favorite. Put water, lemon juice and baking soda in a microwave safe bowl and turn on high for 90 seconds.
Dish cleaning: Water, baking soda and a scouring pad remove the toughest stains. (Liquid dish soap works by greasing up stain molecules until they slide off, but sometimes some good scouring is in order.)
Refrigerator freshening: An open box in the back of the fridge absorbs all sorts of noxious food odors. Baking soda companies suggest changing the box every three months; we say do it annually.
Drain Freshening: Every once in a while, something gets caught in the drain, and it reeks! Run warm water and sprinkle baking soda over the drain.
Fire Fighting: Baking Soda puts out grease and electrical fires. Keep a box within easy reach of your stove, and if necessary, dump it on the flames.
Coffee Maker Cleaning: Make “coffee” by pouring baking soda and water into the water reservoir, and turning on the pot.
Emergency Toothpaste, Mouthwash and Deodorant: The morning you wake up and realize that your honey took the only toiletries on that business trip, water and baking soda will get you by for all three.
Hair Degreaser: Not in the mood for a shower? Sprinkling a bit on your part line will soak up grease, giving you an extra 10 hours or so before your hair starts to gel together.
Antacid: Out of Tums? Their prime ingredient is sodium bicarbonate–which is baking soda. A half teaspoon in 4 ounces isn’t as yummy as those orange-flavored Tums, but they’ll get the job done.
Deitching: A pastey mix of baking soda and water calms itchy skin, rashes and insect bites. This is great for pooches, who may lick toxic ointments.
Shower curtain cleaning: A wet sponge covered in baking soda effectively scrubs off that nasty mildew we referred to last week LINK. Dumping the curtain and baking soda in your washing machine also works.
Scuff Mark remover: Sneaker or crayon stains on tile or linoleum easily disappear with a sponge and baking soda.
baking soda makes a great facial scrub
If your dog pees on the carpet, absorb as much of it as you can, then generously cover the stain in baking soda. Leave it for a couple hours, then sweep or vacuum it up.
Along with the hair degreaser, you can soak hair brushes and combs in water with baking soda in it to clean them. I usually wait forever to clean them so i soak them first, remove lint, hair, and stuff and then soak them again.
If your oven or broiler pan gets burnt-on grease spots, spray them with water, sprinkle on baking soda to cover, then spray on more water. Leave it overnight, then just wipe the grease away with a soapy sponge.
