For those with allergies to cleaning products, Here’s more on using baking soda for cleaning, this time for kids.

What follows is lifted in whole from a book entitled “The many uses for Baking Soda” which is available out there in many forms.

 

Cleaning for Young Children with Baking Soda

 

Using baking soda and water to clean and deodorize laundry, toys and rooms where your young child eats, sleeps and plays is a great idea. Baking soda is

not harmful and it will deodorize while you are cleaning leaving all those yucky smells behind and giving you a fresh baby room or play room that you and

your children can enjoy!

 

If you have young children, sprinkle their mattress with baking soda before you put the sheet back on their bed. This helps cut down on smells left behind

from bed wetters.

 

Keep your children’s stuffed animals smelling fresh by putting them in a pillowcase, sprinkling them with baking soda, and then shake then around a bit.

 

To keep toy boxes clean and fresh, wipe the insides of them out about once a month with a quart of warm water mixed with a cup of baking soda and a cup

of vinegar. This will cut germs while it deodorizes at the same time.

 

You can wash down your child’s crib or playpen with a mixture of one half-cup baking soda, one-quarter cup of vinegar and a quart of warm water. This cuts

grease and grime from hands while deodorizing vomit and urine smells at the same time, doing all this safely without having to worry about chemicals and

your child.

 

You can easily remove those crayon marks on the walls or on the dresser with a little help from your baking soda. Making a thin paste of baking soda and

water, use an old toothbrush to scrub the crayon right off the wall without having to repaint!

 

Add a cup of baking soda to the diaper pail to keep the urine smell from invading your home. Adding a sprinkle with each diaper helps fight smells every time you open it.
