Domestic uses

Sodium bicarbonate, being very effective and non-toxic, can be used to solve a wide range of everyday problems. It is widely used all over the world, and especially in America (the famous baking soda used in cookies) or Italy (il Bicarbonato di sodio purissimo). As it is harmless to man and the environment, it is an excellent alternative to many cleaning agents and toiletries, as you may see from the list hereafter.
