Baking Soda the Miracle Substance

I was told recently that baking soda added to dish soap (the hand washing kind) will keep the soap from over suds-ing. So when you run out of that child killer… machine dish washing soap…you can substitute the above mentioned mixture.

This tip has come in handy on many occasions. Like when the 2.37 gallon jug of liquid laundry soap fell off the dryer and spattered all over the carpet in the laundry room. I added some baking soda and sucked it up with the carpet shampooer. There was still an un-godly amount of suds, but it could have been worse, and now I have the freshest carpet in the world…I may have found replacement soap for the carpet shampooer. It really masks the dog smell.
