Oil Or Grease Fire
Did you know that some fire extinguishers contain baking soda? Yep, that’s right! Baking soda reacts with the heat to produce carbon dioxide, which smothers and extinguishes the fire. This means that baking soda can sometimes be used to extinguish small oil and grease fires. However, don’t expect baking soda to extinguish large fires, as bigger fires absorb more oxygen and can counter the effects of baking soda. When in doubt, call for help.
Diaper Rash
No parent wants to see their child feeling any type of pain or discomfort, but unfortunately, sometimes diaper rash is inevitable. Creams and cures can be pricey, but here’s something much cheaper and just as effective: sprinkle a bit of baking soda into your baby’s bathwater. Let them soak in it for a while, and they’ll instantly feel relief.
