Tips for the Kitchen
Cleaning Baby Equipment
Little hands mean lots of exploring. Safely clean your baby’s area (play pen, changing table, crib, stroller, car seat and high chair) with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda. Just sprinkle ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda directly on a clean damp sponge and rub the item clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Sparkling clean and no harsh cleaners to worry about!
Extinguishing Fires
Did you know that ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda can help in the initial handling of minor grease or electrical kitchen fires? That’s because when ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is heated, it gives off carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames. For small cooking fires (frying pans, broilers, ovens, grills), turn off the gas or electricity if you can safely do so. Stand back and throw handfuls of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda at the base of the flame to help put out the fire -- and call the Fire Department just to be safe! Learn more about Fire Safety.
Deodorizing Recyclables
Keep those recyclables smelling fresh until collection day. Sprinkle Baking Soda on top as you add to the container. Also, clean your recyclable container periodically by sprinkling Baking Soda on a damp sponge. Wipe clean and rinse.
Microwave Cleaning
Who wants popcorn that tastes like a science experiment? ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda on a clean damp sponge cleans gently inside and outside the microwave and never leaves a harsh chemical smell. Rinse well with water. For freshening between uses, place a box of ARM & HAMMER® Fridge-n-Freezer® Odor Absorber in your microwave (don't forget to remove the box of Fridge-n-Freezer® while using the microwave and be sure to replace it every three months!).
Deodorize and Clean Dishwashers
Relax. There's no need to run the dishwasher just yet! Sprinkle a handful of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda on the dishes or in the bottom of the dishwasher to absorb food odors just lingering in the dishwasher. Double duty! Use ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to deodorize before you run the dishwasher and then as a gentle cleanser in the wash cycle.
Deodorize Drains and Garbage Disposals
What goes down sometimes comes back up. To deodorize your drains and disposal, and keep lingering odors from resurfacing, pour ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda down the drain while running warm tap water. Baking Soda will neutralize both acid and basic odors for a fresh drain. Here' s a tidbit to remember - when replacing your box of Fridge-n-Freezer® Odor Absorber (every 3 months!) pour the contents of the old box down the drain to get a little extra mileage.
Clean & Deodorize Plastic Containers
Keep foods and beverages stored in plastic containers from tasting like a science experiment. Wash them with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda sprinkled on a clean damp sponge. For even tougher odors, just soak items in a solution of 4 tablespoons ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda solution in 1 quart warm water.
Clean & Deodorize Lunch Boxes
Keep today's egg salad from tasting like yesterday's tuna. Between uses, place a spill-proof box of ARM & HAMMER® Fridge-n-Freezer® Odor Absorber in everyone's lunch box to absorb lingering odors.
Deodorize Garbage Can
A couple of shakes is all it takes! Keep unpleasant smells to a minimum by sprinkling ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in the garbage between layers as they accumulate. Periodically wash out and deodorize garbage cans with a solution of 1 cup of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda per 1 gallon of water.
Hand washing Dishes and Pots & Pans
Give yourself a hand! Add 2 heaping tablespoons ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda (along with your regular dish detergent) to the dish water to help cut grease and foods left on dishes, pots and pans. For cooked-on foods, let them soak in the ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda/detergent water first, then use dry ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda on a clean damp sponge or cloth as a scratchless scouring powder!
Freshen Sponges
Here's something to soak in! Soak stale-smelling sponges in a strong ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda solution to get rid of the mess and bring in the fresh (4 tablespoons of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda dissolved in 1 quart of warm water).
Polish Silver Flatware
What a bright idea! ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda can shine all your silver in no time at all! Use a Baking Soda paste made with 3 parts ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda to 1 part water. Rub onto the silver with a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry for shining sterling and silver-plate serving pieces. You'll be polished and ready to go for your next dinner party!
Fruit and Vegetable Scrub
An apple a day - cleaned the safe way! ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is the food safe way to clean dirt and residue off fresh fruit and vegetables. Just sprinkle a little on a clean damp sponge, scrub and rinse. Keep an ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda Shaker on your sink for everyday use!
Food Safe Surface Cleaning
Don’t season with chemicals. Clean your food prep area with natural, food safe ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda instead of harsh cleaners. Sprinkle ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda onto a clean damp sponge or cloth and wipe clean, rinse thoroughly, then dry. Great for counters, stainless steel sinks, cutting boards, microwaves, plastic containers, lunch boxes, back splashes, oven tops, range hoods and more!
Cleaning Floors
With all the pitter-patter of little feet in the kitchen, your floor is bound to get dirty. Remove dirt and grime (without unwanted scratch marks!) from no wax and tile floors using 1/2 cup ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in a bucket of warm water - mop and rinse clean for a sparkling floor. For unsightly scuff marks, use ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda on a clean damp sponge, then rinse. Great for high-traffic areas and after dinner parties too!
Deodorizing Fridges and Freezers
Fresh is best! To help keep foods tasting like they should, replace your ARM & HAMMER Fridge-n-Freezer® Odor Absorber every 3 months. The unique flo-thru vents expose twice the amount of baking soda that absorbs the odors that can make other foods (even ice cubes!) taste funky. And while you’re at it, change your Whirlpool® water filter too!
Cleaning Coffee and Tea Pots
Here's a quick pick-me-up! Remove coffee and tea stains and eliminate bitter off-tastes by washing mugs and coffee makers in a solution of 1/4 cup ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda in 1 quart of warm water. For stubborn stains, try soaking overnight in the ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda solution and detergent or scrubbing with ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda on a clean damp sponge.
Recipes
Make sure your baked goods "rise" to the occasion! ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is widely used as an agent to promote leavening. As ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is heated, it releases carbon dioxide, which, in turn, causes dough or batter to rise, becoming light and porous. For more than 155 years good cooks have trusted ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda because it is made with the highest standards. Try our time-tested Recipes and taste the quality for yourself!
Cleaning Pots & Pans
Eliminate the heavy burden of scrubbing pots and pans! ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda penetrates and helps lift off baked-on, dried-on foods. Shake on a generous amount of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda, add hot water, and dish detergent, let sit for 15 minutes and wash as usual. Keep a Shaker by the sink for convenience!
