I don't believe I've seen a thread like this yet. I've found a couple good uses for, of all things, baking soda. Mix it with a little water, and you've got an incredibly useful cleaner. It makes an inexpensive, safe substitute for silver polish; I use it all the time to polish my silver jewelry. Also, if you're a coffee drinker like me, you probably notice that your coffee cups get stained after awhile even if you wash them a lot. A baking soda paste will take care of those stains pronto.
A few others (listed on the box): an odor-buster for your refrigerator/freezer; an antacid; and I know there are other uses. Anyone else discovered clever uses for baking soda? More generally, anyone have any good household/cleaning MacGyverisms you care to share?
