I also use baking soda to wash clothes and I put vinegar in the rinse cycle. I add a few drops of eukalyptus oil with the vinegar as it is supposed to be a disinfectant. I line dry my clothes but they are still soft and have no smell which I like (who wants their clothes to be perfumey smelling anyway?)

Another use is in the dishwasher instead of dish powder. I put about 1/4-1/2 cup in.

I have put some seriously dirty dishes in there and it all comes out squeeky clean.

I just inherited a couch that was sitting on a somewhat indoor porch. I wonder if I can use baking soda with the upholstery cleaner to get the stains and smell out?
