"Free" scouring powder/drain cleaner
Is there a box of baking soda in your refrigerator that is no longer absorbing the fridge odors--even after you stirred around in it? After it has lost its usefulness there, re-purpose it as a scouring powder for delicate surfaces. A toothbrush full of baking soda and a little water used to clean crevices of dusty/greasy items works like magic. The yellow "coke stains" that collect on kitchen counters containers (or on walls) respond well to a little baking soda and water paste rubbed on the residue. Rinse, dry and enjoy the clean. As a quick drain cleaner, put a fourth to half a cup of baking soda down the drain, then pour vinegar on it. HINT: Be sure to let the kids watch the "erupting volcano" action as it hisses and foams to clean the drain.
