And the list goes on... with so many simple ways to clean your home and improve your hygiene, you'll never look at baking soda the same way again.

16. Heartburn relief: this is one of my favorite uses of baking soda. For those days you've over indulged a little too much or just had an acidic meal eating out. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of baking soda to about a half cup of water, mix thoroughly and drink quickly. It's quite salty, but your next burp will be refreshing and digestion will calm. 

17. Hair treatment: add a little baking soda to your conditioner to help reduce split ends.

18. Dandruff treatment: Many people develop dandruff from a pH imbalance from their usual shampoos. Use baking soda instead of shampoo for several days as an alkalizing anti-dandruff treatment. Massage into your scalp thoroughly. 

19. Bug bites: make a small amount of paste with mostly baking soda and a few drops of water to reduce bug bite itching, poison ivy, and sunburn. Dab a bit of paste on the area and let it soak in.

20. Weed killer: sprinkle baking soda on the cracks between the pavement  to prevent weeds from sprouting up.

21. Melt icy sidewalks: sprinkle baking soda on your icy sidewalks to melt away the ice. Sodium bicarbonate is less corrosive than traditional cooking salts.

22. Produce cleaner: instead of purchasing produce cleaner, use baking soda to clean your fruits and vegetables when you get home from the farmer's market.

23. Clean your toothbrush: soak your toothbrush in a mixture of 1/4 cup baking soda and a 1/4 cut water over night for sparkling fresh cleaning.
