(3,919 posts)cleaning out my cast iron skillets : apply dry and liberally to soiled pan (do not wet beforehand), let it set for a few minutes, work it into and around the pan using a dry cloth or papertowel. keep working it by rubbing and moving around, work out the tougher spots until they are gone, apply more baking soda if necessary, when everything has been absorbed and worked away, dump the soil into the trash and rinse with hot water. air dry the pan.
cleaning counters - sprinkle onto surface, wipe with cloth, sweep into trash, spray with vinegar and dry.
cat litter box - sprinkle bottom of clean, empty box with 2 tablespoons prior to adding fresh litter. completely change litter & wash box weekly.
windows - apply a bit to a damp sponge or cloth - wipe clean with a cloth.
for cleaning glass on ranges and oven doors. toaster ovens etc.
deoderant: apply a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on cotton pad, dab on a bit of baking soda and wipe under clean armpit. (it really works! no odor! am allergic to commercial deoderant & do not use personal hygeine products or food stuffs with "aluminum" or chemical ingredients.)
