The storage area under my kitchen sink used to stink with the detergents I kept inside, now I put a box of baking soda and it smells much much better and I do not need to hold my breath whenever I open the area to take or put things. I put some in my toilets too... cos I don't like to use synthetic fragrance in those areas that my kids frequent.

Wow, didn't know that baking soda can absorb odour!!

We have one in the freezer and one in the fridge too....but remember that
the box must be opened and the baking soda exposed.

Thanks for pointing that out For me I'm afraid that my kids will spill the powder, I scoop out the baking soda into a recycled box with cover and punch holes on the cover to \"expose\" them. It works too

Oh yah, I also put some baking soda in my dish washing detergent, it will make the cleaning more effective. Also read that it will be less harsh on the hands.... not sure about this though maybe my hands already \"seasoned\"?!

I ever tried those box of \"odour removal\" from Daiso, so-so effect only and can only last for 2-3weeks. Baking soda is more effective, more economical$$$ and most importantly natural and non-toxic to our bodies

I know you can use baking soda to wipe your stove and it will be spotlessly clean. Do not mix with water when cleaning. Just baking soda.

For those with oily hair, avoid ascience products. It makes my hair oilier than before. They will cause dandruff and their comditioner makes my haor feels oily even after rinsing thoroughly.

Hi wilboys


How to add baking soda into dish washing detergent.

No, it is not a paper mask. You pump the liquid out from the bottle. When you rub on your face, it will become bubble. Leave it on for 5 to 10 mins, when the bubbles disappear, rinse off with warm water.

After rinsing off the mask, apply the moisturiser

Ta da, you are done!

I will apply sunblock last.
Sunblock is the most vital!

thks for the instruction to use bubble mask.
i did a search at google and found someone demostating at you-tube, looks fun with the bubbling on the face but she is using another bubble mask, not follow-me. (shd work the same)
so 1 bottle of mask can be used for roughly how many times?

Hi augmum,


You can use 1 bottle for as many as 50 to 80 times.
Just need a small amount will do.

Also will depend on how much you pump out.
