Instead of throwing away left over baking soda that comes out of your fridge....?

Question

Is there anyway to reuse the left over baking soda that comes out of your fridge for cleaning something else ? Like adding it to my laundrey or garbage cans ?? Or do I have to throw it away ???

Answer 1

I run it down my drains or use it to scour my toilet bowl.

Answer 2

It will have an odor to it, so I would not use it in the laundry. You can clean your garbage disposal by running it with some vinegar down the drain. Or pour it in your toilet and swish around, really good to if you have a septic system

Answer 3

Hello Kit
I usually sprinkle some in the bottom of my trash can, and I will put some in the laundry. I also pour some down my kitchen sink, and run hot water down with it. It helps my garbage disposal stay clean.

Answer 4

I use the left over baking soda along with vinegar for keeping my drains running clear.

Answer 5

I like to add lemon juice to it instead of vinegar to clean the garbage can because it smells better.

Answer 6

You can pour it down the drain to freshen it up. Don't add it to laundry, or anything else, it has the odors of months worth of food in there!

Answer 7

Nope

Answer 8

They are all good ideas.
If you have a pool you can use it to balance the ph level. The small amount of smell in the box will not effect the pool.

Answer 9

I have used to clean my tubs and sinks like a scouring powder..

Answer 10

You can definitely clean with it, if it's still good. Mix a little with some vinegar and if it fizzes it's still good.
