Baking Soda is a necessity for any home. Versatility: with so many uses around the house, plus with zero aluminum it's a perfect substitute in the kitchen for any recipe that calls for Baking Powder (since most power contains aluminum which can have unhealthy side effects). Just don't use more than the recipe calls for. For other uses, read the label or look it up on line.

I use the baking soda in my washer and cleaning around the house. I add ½ a cup to my detergent, and the clothes has a fresh scent, without adding softener. Fabric softener isn't good for your clothes or towels. The baking soda is terrific and helps with some stains.

While this product seems to be working very well, I have one major complaint. It was part of a multi item order and was shipped in the same package as the Famous Amous cookies. This 13 pound product crushed many of the cookies. I would think a professional shipping company would have guidelines of what should not be packaged together. If I had the time, I would have brought the cookies back to the warehouse but I didn’t. I am just going to limit my online shopping going forward.

I have two indoor cats, I put a 1/2 inch layer of baking soda in the bottom of their litter boxes for odor control. It really helps control the ammonia smell so I don't have to dump the litter so often. I also use it to freshen laundry in the washer, and to absorb odors in the fridge.

A friend who worked at a pool chemical supply store suggested purchasing Baking Soda for the pool when the alkalinity gets low because this is just about the same as what pool chemical companies sell, but less expensive. When the alkalinity and ph get out of whack, I backwash, add half a bag of Baking soda, and check the pool water in 24 hours after circulating the water at least 8 hours. Often, this helps bump up the ph to the correct level and increases the alkalinity reading, too. The bag gives information about how to utilize the product for pool water maintenance.

I use baking soda for EVERYTHING. Cooking, cleaning, diaper rashes, itchy skin, ingrown toenails. You name it and it seems to work on it! So glad I found it in bulk at Sam’s Club for such a great price. It also comes in a really stout bag, which is nice considering it’s heavy and you’ll have it for a long time!

The very best. It's perfect for cleaning and used with white vinegar for cleaning it's superpowered! I stopped using all of the other detergents & cleaners years ago replacing them with Arm & Hammer soda, white vinegar, & borax. I even use it like scouring powder in sinks and tub. Works great!

We are on our second bag of this size. We use this to get the film from milk off bottles, stuck on stuff off pans, grease stains out of clothes, clean out kitchen sink, add to baths to reduce itching, remove orders from the fridge or diaper pale and so many more. This is a household staple. My husband knows that if he asks me what to use on something in the house I am probably going to say this or vinegar. We get the giant bag and then put it in smaller containers.

This is a huge bag and a good value buying it in bulk. I like to mix baking soda in the kitchen sink along with some vinegar - to clean the sink and get a fresh smell to eliminate the garbage odor around the garbage disposal. I share half of the bag (pour it in a gallon size zip lock bag) with a friend who does not have a garbage disposal - he too gets the awful sink odor and this fixes that problem. I use about a half cup each of baking soda & vinegar. You can repeat if necessary until the bad sink odor is gone.

Balanced water is a must and alkalinity is always my starting point. Wonderful product for keeping pool water in check as well as reducing cloudiness and giving you sparkling results. Test your water and get it balanced including the cyanuric acid test. This is simply testing for the amount of chlorine stabilizer that is needed to keep you from being robbed of chlorine by the sun and other substances too like everyday dirt, leaves and pollen. If you get your pool balanced pure backing soda will be one of the easy go too’s that will help you maintain it.
