Use Baking Soda for what?

So I came home to the wet dog smell today. There is nothing WORSE than that! With the house being closed up and the weather being so rainy lately, how do you eliminate the grody smells (without eliminating the dog)? So I tried the smelly candles, the plug-ins, the room sprays, even the smelly carpet powder...I ended up with flowery/vanilla-y/apple-y wet dog smell. It was worse!

Then I had an "ah-ha" moment.

I sprinkled Arm & Hammer Baking Soda on the carpet, let it sit for about an hour (you get a funny grainy feeling in your socks!) vacuum it up, and viola! Smell gone. THEN spruce up with the smelly good stuff if ya want.

So I started thinking - It's
pure, it's natural, what else could you use it on? You HAVE to go on this site - so many things even I couldn't imagine! And for what? --Way less than a dollar a box? There are even fun activities for kids.

Genius!

That is WONDERFUL! I wish that I thought to be creative with Jack. I really suck at that. That is my new years resolution early! Done.
