If you've cleaned your teeth with it, used it to replace yeast in cake-making or added it to the water when boiling veg to speed up the cooking and prevent wind, you'll already be aware that bicarbonate of soda is versatile stuff. But did you know that bicarb, also known as baking soda, can brighten your white wash? 2 tablespoons should do the trick. You can sprinkle it round your sinks and hand basins and use like Vim or add a couple of tablespoons dissolved in water to a half-filled washing-up liquid bottle to make it go further. Bicarb's great as a degreaser too. If you get mouth ulcers, scoop a little of the soda onto your finger and put it directly on the spot. Calm stomach ache with 1-2 teaspoonfuls in a glass of water. I could go on but why not check out this site for loads more uses.
Warning: Many people use bleach. Bleach is bad news, and not just for your fosse septique. See this site to find out why. And chlorine in swimming pools can make you, and particularly your children, more vulnerable to asthma attacks. I bought a season ticket to Lannemezan pool and was only able to use it a few times. I had an asthma attack that lasted almost two weeks.
