Baking powder and uses
I have some long out of date baking powder. Searched and found these uses.
Household Uses for Baking Powder:
• A gentle scouring powder for kitchen countertops.
• A paste (mixed with a little water) to shine stainless steel.
• A vinyl floor cleaner (1/2 cup mixed with a quart of water).
• A way to soften water so you can use less soap. You can add in a half cup to your laundry, for example.
• An air freshener: Set some out in a bowl, place some in your cat's litter box, or leave an open box in your refrigerator.
Step 1: Put the DRY baking soda down the drain. Use about 3/4 of a cup.
Step 2: Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain after the baking soda. Be sure to cover the drain immediately afterwards with a rag or plug, filling the hole completely so nothing can escape. This is because the interaction of the two will cause a "mini volcano" that will want to come up and out of the drain ... you want to keep it down there.
Step 3: Leave this concoction in the drain for about 30 minutes. While you are waiting, boil a tea kettle full of water.
Step 4: After 30 minutes, remove the plug and slowly pour the HOT water down the drain.
And there you have it, a science fair project turned into a do-it-yourself unclogger.
Will try the drain cleaner just hope there will be no report in Newspaper about house explosion.
