Disinfect Toothbrush
Most people think about cleaning their teeth with their toothbrush, but not so much about cleaning the toothbrush itself. With the cold and flu season rapidly approaching, sanitation is something extremely important to keep in mind. For something that goes into your mouth each day, you definitely want it to be clean. When combined with a water and vinegar mixture, baking soda can sanitize your toothbrush in just 30 minutes.
Treating Bug Bites
Though it’s not safe to apply baking soda to your skin every day, it can be quite useful in soothing the redness, itching, and stinging that you experience after getting a bug bite. Most expensive creams that you can buy at the store contain baking soda in them, so why spend all that money when you can just make a paste of baking soda and water at home?
