Going to Sam's club tomorrow to buy some AA Lithium batteries. Long shelf life for flashlights and I have never seen one leak.

We use it on the roof and yard to get rid of moss ... safe for kids and pets.

Buy it cheap from Costco in bulk.

Use it raise alkalinity in my pool. Pool store sells Alkalinity Up, for like 4X the price of what baking soda costs.

Great for stainless steel, as well as glass surfaces (like cooktops and shelving).
