Readily available in the supermarkets but not where you might expect to find it.

I think I was looking for it in the baking section and it was in the cleaning section!

Just ask one of the shop girls where the bicarbonato di sodio is.

did you know that if you have sweat marks on white t-shirts then you make a paste with bicarbonate & water and paste it on the armpits - leave it for a while (sometimes if they are stubborn I leave them up to a day) and then chuck them in the washing machine. Works

(I know it sounds gross but with teenage boys it does happen)

Lorna at Vicenza

Good tip.

You can make a paste with bicarbonate and washing up liquid (one of those de-grease ones) and spread it on the cooker and oven door and it dissolves grease and oil.

I've put it in stinky trainers before as well.

Thanks everyone-Stupidly I've been searching in the baking section. The cleaning shelves still confuse me also!! Ah well piano piano-as my neighbours keep saying followed by "finito?"
Just can't please everyone all the time.
You are brilliant people and so generous with your time and advice. x

I used it to deodourise a brand new mattress my grandson weed on-no stain no smell!

I have a book - 1000 things to do with bicarb - seriously, my mum gave it to me - and 900 are spot on- there are some Ive not tried, as Im not a vet.
