I often clean my tubes with just hot water. I just open it for a minute or two and everything is clean.

Great advices,Melinda. I like to see that people prefer natural alternatives over expensive chemicals. I already heard for some methods regarding baking soda.In fact, my nephew uses it to clean pet urine from the carpet, just the way you described it. He sprinkles the place with baking soda, leaves it to soak and then vacuums it. Problem solved!
I use it for cleaning refrigerator by mixing four tablespoons of water with baking soda ( this is for making the paste out of it), and then just clean up the interior with it.

I use baking soda to clean some of the stuff at home but I haven’t tried sprinkling it on my carpet before vacuuming. I must try it one of these days because the warmer weather with high humidity is causing my carpet to give off a damp odor.

Wow! This is one of the coolest posts I’ve read in a while… I’m going to try the baking soda and the vinegar in the shower. We’ll see if it clears the drain! Thanks!!!

Thanks Holly. It is a stock photograph and Chris Lund isn’t the contributor, but it does look like his style. I love the color. LOL if it makes cleaning toilets a little more fun, I am all for it.

BTW I just read your book “A Puppy, Not a Guppy” to my four year old last week and she loved it! Adorable story! I love all the fish facts and information in the back. I learned a lot myself.

What great tips! (And how you manage to make the idea of cleaning toilets sound like FUN, I don’t know, but you do!) I’ll have to give some of these a try.

Is that volcano photo one of Chris Lund’s? Looks like it. He’s a fantastic photographer.

I never thought a simple science experiment could be of great used to other application. There are really tons of useful ideas that i can used for your blog thanks. Now i will reminisce my childhood and doing something helpful at the same time.

Ha ha…no it won’t explode. I have done it before. I have used it in all my drains, too and it cleared them. BTW, I was one of those deprived children that had to grow beans. ;( lol

I don’t see why you couldn’t use it in a humidifier. I have used bleach to clean them in the past, but that bleach smell stays for so long…maybe the vinegar smell would evaporate away faster. Maybe you can swish around the baking soda/vinegar combo in it…otherwise it would take a lot to fill up a humidifier to do the work. Good luck!

I was really getting into the ‘greatest school project’ , I remember those days very well. can picture the classroom and school mates now. Wow you brought back some memories.

Then you mentioned the word cleaning! phooey. Are you sure the Kermode won’t explode? Ha….
Interesting usages, I’ll have to try it. wonder if it’ll work on the humidifier we have to run 24/7? it gets so much build up from the yucky water here that it’s like rock build up. The cleaning instructions say use vinegar but I might as well try some soda with it, ya think?
