Baking soda is truly a staple that everyone should have at home. I'll admit something: I too, I did not know this product a few years ago :-) I always wondered: "what to do with baking soda"? My first "discovery" was to use baking soda to eliminate odors from my fridge. When I discovered that this product sanitized the air, I started to pour it in my sink to avoid the bad smells of the pipes. After a few weeks, I was completely converted :-) Today, I buy this "miracle product" wholesale (you can find it here) because it's simply one of the best natural multipurpose products.
