Use it to bake things of course, Use it to dissolve leaked alkaline battery crud. Use it to clean cast iron among other things. Tell me more!

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.


What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

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

Nothing "pinch" about it. It's my go-to.

Probably not a great thing for my BP, but it works fast and it works every time.
