Other Amazing Uses of Bicarbonate of Soda
What else do you use bicarbonate of soda? This multitasking powder really has some other amazing uses besides baking and adding to tribe (Mogodu) to help it to cook faster.
Bicarbonate of Soda has amazing properties like antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and anti-flammatory. Today I will be talking about other amazing uses of bicarbonate of soda that I am really aware of and have worked for me.
Drain Unclogger
Yes, I learned this from my mother bicarbonate of soda is an amazing drain unclogger. Just put a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda in the drain followed by a cup of vinegar and this combination will eat away whatever is blocking your drain and save you some money.
Bicarbonate of soda is also good for cleaning around the house, especially showers, sinks and it works like a disinfectant on the plus side its Eco friendly.
Pimple Buster
I am a fan of the toothpaste when it comes to drying out pimplbu, but I have also learned that making a mixture of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda mix with water to make a paste can also dry out the pimples and very fast too.
Stomach Ache Soother
The quickest way to clam your stomach ache is to put a tip of the teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in the palm of your hand lick it and drink some water. You will get relief in under a minute.
ControlSweating
I am an excessive sweater during the summer and its embarrassing, so I put the mixture of bicarbonate of soda under my armpits for 25 to 30 minutes and then wash it off.
My sweating has reduced it is also good with controlling odor and lighten dark underarms.
Shoes Ordour
Sneakers and closed shoes tend to smell to prevent this just sprinkle bicarbonate of soda once in a while to prevent such and keep your wardrobe smelling ffresh
Here are some other amazing uses of bicornated of soda I heard people say helps with indigestion,heartburn, ulcers and as a teeth whitener to name a few.

It works very well to kill any odors and a bit in a bowl in your fridge or dishwasher when not in use works wonders.

Bicarb is the best! It has so many amazing uses. I found if I add half a cup to my washing machine when washing towels that they come out smelling clean and fresh! When you team bicarb with this natural citrus cleaner http://www.victoire.co.za/2016/07/diy-natural-household-cleaner/ I made you have an awesome grimy oven cleanertoo! <3

Bicarb is brilliant stuff – I didn’t realise it was so good at unblocking drains though – will have to try that one. I can definitely vouch for its ability to ease heartburn though!
