Baking Soda as Drain Unclogger
To get your drain running again (without resorting to chemicals worthy of a hazmat suit) pour ½ cup soda, then ½ cup vinegar, down a clogged drain. Cover it with a wet cloth, wait 5 minutes, uncover, and flush with steaming-hot water.
Baking Soda as Stain Remover Clean discolored teacups and teapots by making a paste of baking soda and water. Gently rub over the stain to remove.

Bath Mat as Car Seat Protector
Protect your car seats from muddy paws by covering them with a bath mat or two before packing Lilly the Lab in the backseat. The rubber bottom will help the mat stay in place. Between trips, stow the mat in the trunk.

Preserve a pristine stovetop by applying a thin layer of car wax, then wiping it off. Future spills will lift off easily.
