Do you have a box of baking soda in your refrigerator, left open to help control and absorb odors? When that box needs to be replaced, don't throw it out -- it can be used to make the ultimate cleaning paste for around your house. Simply mix the old soda with tap water to make a thick, frostinglike paste. Then use it to clean stubborn stains around the bathtub, kitchen sink and oven door. Let the mixture sit on the stain for at least 12 hours, then use white vinegar to bubble away the caked-on mixture. Wipe clean and be amazed!
