Natural fire repellent among many uses
- Baking soda is safe to use on electrical fires, wood fires, and furniture/upholstery fires.
- Treats minor burns. Add some to your ice water to prevent burns from blistering.
- Keeps tack boxes free of unpleasant odors.
- Shelf life is 12-18 months, so it is a good idea to replace the boxes every year. Test by adding a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice to a tablespoon of Baking Soda. If the mixture doesn't fizz, it is time to replace.
