Left close in the washer over night?

How to Unclog A Drain With Baking Soda and Vinegar. Can't believe it but it really works.
Pour a pot of boiling hot water down your drain.
Dump in about 1/2 c. baking soda. Let that sit for a few minutes.
Then, pour a mixture of 1 c. vinegar and 1. c very hot water down on top of the baking soda.
Cover with a drain plug (to keep the reaction down below the drain surface) if you have one and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
Flush one more time with a pot of boiling water.
So easy & people wonder why I buy baking soda in bulk.
How to freshen and clean your garbage disposal:
Start by running hot water through your garbage disposal for a minute.
Pour about 1/4 c. baking soda into the drain.
Flip the garbage disposal on for 2 seconds, just to whirl the baking soda inside, and then leave it alone for 10-15 minutes.
Follow with 1 c. of vinegar. Watch the bubbles erupt out of your drain. (Yay!)
Rinse through one last time with very hot water and run your garbage disposal for 5 seconds.
Stains on my backing sheets? Oh no!
I put about 1/4 cup of baking soda in a small glass bowl and squirt in hydrogen peroxide until it makes a nice paste. Then I rub it on the offending dirt/stain/grease…whatever! I usually just use my fingers…but I also use a small sponge till the stain is all gone.
Stains on my glass backing pans?
Aluminum Foil as Glassware Scrubber
To get baked-on food off a glass pan or an oven rack, use dishwashing liquid and a ball of foil in place of a steel-wool soap pad, says Mary Findley, president of the cleaning-products developer Mary Moppins. It's one way to recycle those used but perfectly good pieces of foil you hate to throw out.
Stinky dog + carpets means Baking Soda as Carpet Freshener time.
To absorb stale odors from carpet (and to generally freshen up a room), scatter soda on it, wait a few hours, then vacuum up the powder.
All of the above makes a happy me :)
