Do you think its safe to sleep in a room that has bicarbonate of soda sprinkled on the carpet?

Just that really. I've put a box of bicarb down to try and freshen the room, will I be OK to sleep in there tonight or should I camp out on the sofa? Google is vague.

Huh? Yes.

Yes, it'll be fine.

I had a very sicky DC for many years. His bed was about 50% bicarb of soda by the time we bought a new bed after so many mornings of putting tubs of bicarb on the sick stain to remove the smell.

You'll be fine.

Yes, it’s completely harmless.

No. You'll definitely die.

What are you worried might happen?

Are you just trying to get a rise out of us?

😆

I mean if you're sleeping face down on the carpet you've sprinkled it in there's a chance you could inhale some I guess

Google is vague on the matter because I suspect no other person has ever thought to google whether bicarbonate of soda sprinkled on a floor might be hazardous.

You put it in cakes. Of course it’s harmless.

You eat it regularly, brush your teeth with it and it's in lots of skin products. What harm do you think it could possibly do?

Oh gosh what an idiot I am!!!! I've only ever used shake and vac on the carpet before and I hate that stuff, gives me a headache, I had the bicarb in the same family as it. Thought I might wake up coughing with a banging head.

Good to know I'll survive!

Well if you inhale enough you may find you rise quickly and double in size

Did you post earlier about chicken nuggets OP?

You do realise bath bombs are 99% bicarbonate of soda

@CantStopBuyingSeeds I read that as 99% of bombs were bicarbonate of Soda - I was beginning to panic

As long as you're not leaking vinegar you'll be fine.
