This is not simply a useful and informative book about the innumerable uses for good old baking soda, saving tons of money, and in the process not harming the environment. It is also entertaining and sometimes downright funny--it would be a great gift for anyone, including yourself. I expect that Vicki Lansky had a blast putting this book together, and her enthusiasm is evident in the text.

I've been a baking soda fan for a while now, but this book made me love it even more. It's a staple in this house...never without it. As the owner of five dogs, you better bet I put its deodorizing properties to good use! But, thanks largely to this book, I now realize how much more it can do. I clean my oven with it, I clean my drains with it, I use it in the garden. Ah the power of baking soda.

Get rid of the musty odor in carpets, scrub your pots, etc etc etc. There really are 500 ways to make life more pleasant without the added scents that are added to carpet cleaner and other household products. So if no smell is better than a cover up smell, try this book! Living in the Northwest where it rains and rains and then the rugs pick up a bad smell, I sprinkled baking soda, let it sit overnight (well, really a couple of days) and vacuumed it up and hooray! No more smell! Great for cleaning too. Fun to read.

I love this book. It is so filled with needed and useful information that I put tabs on the pages to make it easier to find what you need. It's economical, well thought through, environment-friendly, and so simple! You will want a copy to keep handy! Now I am looking at Vicki Lansky's other books to see what other ideas she has!

My grandmother buys baking soda in bulk and loves using it, so I bought this book for her one Christmas. She seems to like the book and has been able to use many of the suggestions. One of the tips that she found helpful was using baking soda for cleaning the oven. Baking soda can provide a natural alternative to many other products. This book can be an inexpensive gift or a helping hand for you.
