Fun Bathing things to do with baking soda:
Tub Tints
Tub Tints are a really fun way to add some pizzazz to your bath!
3 cups baking soda
1 1/2 cups citric acid
2 cups cornstarch
3 cc fragrance oil
.15cc powdered water-soluble dye (pigments or micas will NOT work. FD&C Blue and FD&C Yellow from Bramble Berry WILL work. If you use a pigment or mica, it may not disperse evenly in the water, and may stain your tub!)
Mix all ingredients completely. The mixture will appear white.
Package into decorative bags and tie closed.
To use, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup per full tub of water. Mix crystals in completely before getting into the water. Taa-daaaa! Colored bath water!
* 1 part citric acid
* 2 parts baking soda
* Witch hazel
* Coloring of your choice
* Fragrance oil of your choice
* Bath Bomb Mold
BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid and baking soda %u2013 this step is super important %u2013 if you don%u2019t blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. We actually use a mixer on our larger batches. Once you%u2019ve blended really well, add your colorant. Dry pigments or a specialty bath fizzy colorant like La Bombes work best %u2013 don%u2019t add too much though %u2013 the color shows up once you add the witch hazel.
Add fragrance oils to your personal nose preference.
Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while stirring with the other hand. When your batch sticks together when squished, you need to start putting it in molds %u2013 time is of the essence. If you wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and %u201Cgrow%u201D (start the fizzing reaction) on you. Put the bombs in molds %u2013 wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable bomb you will get.

The Awesome Awesome Baking Soda Volcano
For this project you'll need:
6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tbsp cooking oil, warm water, plastic soda bottle, plastic dinosaurs, 6 drops dishwashing detergent, red food coloring, vinegar, baking dish or other pan, and most importantly 2 tbsp Baking Soda.
Let's get to it:
1) First make the 'cone' of the baking soda volcano. Mix 6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tbsp cooking oil, and 2 cups of water. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (more water may be added if needed).
2) Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it into a volcano shape. Don't cover the hole or drop dough into it!
3) Add plastic dinosaurs to taste.
4) Fill the bottle most of the way full with warm water and a bit of red food color.
5) Add 6 drops of detergent to the bottle contents.
6) Add 2 tablespoons Baking Soda to the liquid.
7) Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle.
8) Eruptions and radness.

About
A place where fellow baking soda lovers can come and express their love for this truly multi-functioning amazing product.
Baking Soda loves the enviroment!
History:
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, first hit the mass market in 1846, when Dr. Austin Church and John Dwight began selling their red-labeled soda packages. “Not only does baking soda neutralize odiferous fatty acids but it also attacks grease by turning it into — believe it or not — soap,” says the University of Pittsburgh’s Wolke. Fact: More than 100 tons of the refrigerator staple were used to clean the Statue of Liberty’s inner copper walls during its 1986 restoration.
Use Baking Soda to:
1. Exfoliate skin. Wash your face, then apply a soft paste made of three parts baking soda and one part water. Massage gently with a circular motion, avoiding the eye area; rinse clean.
2. Erase crayon, pencil, ink, and furniture scuffs from painted surfaces. Sprinkle soda on a damp sponge, rub clean, and rinse.
3. Unclog a drain. Pour 1/2 to 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, then slowly pour 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar after it. Let sit for five minutes (covered, if possible). Follow with a gallon of boiling water.
4. Remove tough stains from enameled cast iron and stainless steel. Scrub enameled cast iron with a soft nylon brush and a thick paste of baking soda and water. Clean stainless steel with a soft cloth and 4 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in 1 quart of water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
5. Scrub pans. Sprinkle soda on crusted casseroles and roasting pans and let sit for five minutes. Lightly scrub and rinse.
6. Brush teeth. Use a paste of baking soda and water.
7. Fight class-B fires (flammable liquids, such as gasoline, oil, and grease). Baking soda can be used to smother only a small flame.
8. Deodorize. Dust baking soda under your arms to absorb body odor.
9. Clean up minor oil and grease spills on a garage floor or driveway. Sprinkle baking soda on the spot and scrub with a wet brush.
10. Settle a stomach during occasional indigestion. Stir 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda into 1/2 cup of water and drink for a safe and effective antacid.
11. Add a cup of it along with your regular laudry detergant and it will make it more effective along with making your bleach more effective
12. If you add enough with your shampoo to make a paste and use it about once a week it gets rid of style product build up!
