Almost every household in America probably has a box of baking soda sitting somewhere in their closet or pantry. It’s used in baking, causing dough to rise and helping to properly churn out cakes and loaves of bread.
You don’t have to be an avid baker to find the household chemical useful, though. For generations, baking soda has been used for more than just kitchen endeavors—and as an inexpensive and easy-to-find purchase, it’s worth keeping a box of the stuff around to help you out in your own home.
