Did you know baking soda can put out fires? That it is an effective air freshener? You can put it in your washing machine for cleaner clothes. It will clean your silver. You can brush your teeth with it. Put it on skin irritations, rashes and poison ivy for quick relief.

But you don't have to take my word for any of this. Check out this article "Sixty-One Uses For Baking Soda".
