Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda- So many great uses!

When you hear of Arm & Hammer what comes to mind? I probably know your answer: odor removal and used for baking! Don’t worry because those were the first things that come to my mind too. However, after delving further into finding out more about Arm & Hammer in the past few months, I realized it could be used for so many wonderful household tasks.

 

Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is a pure, safe, and natural household product. Apart from using Arm & Hammer in many delicious recipes, I have found it to be one of the most effective and economical household cleanser on the market. Recently, I had a dish that I used to make a lasagna casserole. I tried over and over to clean it, with absolutely no results. I was so frustrated until my husband came home and told me to use Arm & Hammer. He showed me that if I shook some Arm & Hammer on the pan, added hot water, let it soak for 15 minutes, and clean regularly, there would be no more crud! It worked beautifully. I could not believe it- no more stiff lasagna cruds on my pan. You must try this! Arm & Hammer also would scrub away stains without staining on stainless steel, microwaves, porcelain, refrigerators, and stovetops.

Another way that I love using Arm & Hammer is to clean my produce. I am a stickler when it comes to cleaning my vegetables. I hate using any chemicals in my life, especially around my food. With Arm & Hammer, it will clean my product naturally. For example if you have a leafy product, you simply sprinkle Arm & Hammer in a bowl of water, add your leafy product, or similar vegetables, agitate, and then rinse. Arm & Hammer could also be used to remove dirt, wax, and residue from hard-skinned produce!

Of course, being a dentist, I thought I share some of my tips for using Arm & Hammer.  Do you know that using Arm & Hammer can help whiten your teeth, freshen your breath, and help with overall dental hygiene? Using Arm & Hammer baking soda, is one of the safest methods to whiten your teeth naturally. For more information, you should see your local dentist, but I can assure you it is a very effective strategy. It also will cost you around $2 for a Arm & Hammer box versus potentially hundreds of dollars for whitening using other methods.

Here is a comprehensive tip list for using Arm & Hammer this holiday season:

Freshest Flavor

Be sure to keep an open box of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda in your refrigerator to ensure the freshest tasting ingredients for holiday entertaining.  This is especially important when storing garlic, onions or fresh holiday herbs and spices, which will transfer flavors to more delicate vegetables, meats and cheeses in the fridge.  Be sure to change the box once a month for optimal freshness.
