1 MAKE DETERGENT GO FURTHER
The key to doubling your detergent? Reduce the recommended amount by half, then add 1/2 cup of baking soda. Baking soda's cleaning power means you can stretch your detergent supply.
2 Banish tarnish in a flash
You took out your favorite silver jewelry for your niece's wedding only to see it's tarnished. If you don't have silver polish on hand, simply line a baking pan with foil, fill with hot water and add 2 Tbs. of baking soda. Then let jewelry soak in the mix for 5 minutes before buffing dry. The powder and aluminum will chemically react with the tarnish so the pieces sparkle again.
3 Lift grease from a grill
Although you love grilling, you could do without the sticky, greasy mess left behind on the grates. To eliminate the grime, make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water and use it to scrub the grates with a rag or sponge. When dissolved in water, baking soda forms an alkaline solution that cuts through stuck-on grease so your grill is spotless for next time.
