MrsD'ville mkII -I use b.soda to wash my hair, but I dissolve a teaspoon or so in a mug of warm water, pour it over my head & kind of lather it up - it washes out way easier than putting it as a paste on your head . And to make your hair all lovely & silky, put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a mug of water & pour that over your head to follow, leave it for a minute or so & your hair will be softer than it ever was with conditioner. You can add some essential oil to the mix if you want extra flowery smelling hair!

Washing Soda..... on just about anything that needs cleaning!
It's great if used neat on those tiles behind the hob that's splashed with grease...

Pop some in a bowl with tin foil in the bottom, add water & get your silver clean!

Use it with white vinegar & clean EVERYWHERE! (Bang! And the dirt is gone! - But much better & much cheaper! )

I used to use white vinegar for all sorts like so many other selfsufficientishies - and now I use all my overly sour kombucha for white vinegar. And to make a nice drink (honey + sour kombucha + bit of ginger).
