Soda crystals

[Shakti]

Ok, I have bought two packs. What can I use these for to make house clean, sparkling and sweet smelling. Where to start...

[Flisspaps]

Stick a scoop in the washing machine every time you do a wash :)

scoop flushed down the sink if it gets a bit stinky..

[mousymouse]

• service wash the dishwasher with on cup in the empty washer on hottest setting
  
• bake german style soft bretzels
  
• one cup down the sink followed by hot water for stinky sinks
  
• sprinkle on smelly spots on carpets and hoover up
  
• use only half the reccomended amount of washing powder and fill up with crystals

someone said to put these down the toilet. do i need to dissolve in boiling water first?

[mousymouse]

no, but I would scoop out as much water as I can, put the soda crystals in and then top up with hot water.

I am a nanny/house keeper and accidentally knocked over a bucket of BLACK Matt paint on the BEIGE carpet under the spare bed at work

I tried every cleaning product available to lift the stain (plus I rang my mum crying, who kindly rang in sick at work and came to help me)
The only thing that worked were the soda crystals. They saved my life!!
