87. PET ODORS

89. LAWN FURNITURE

Pets can leave odors pretty much everywhere they go in the house— especially if they actually go in the house.

Relaxing on your patio furniture is one of life’s great pleasures. Cleaning it definitely is not. With ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda, you can give your outdoor furniture a thorough, yet simple, freshening up. Here’s how:

For a quick deodorizer for your carpets and rugs, use a little ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda straight from the box. • Sprinkle dry carpet with ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda.

• Wipe down furniture. • Rinse with water and towel dry.

• Vacuum up.

Here’s a tip if you’ve got cushions that could use a quick refresher:

• Pour 3 cups very hot water into spray bottle. • Add 2 TBSP ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda and dissolve.

• Dip a wet sponge into a bowl of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda.

• Let it settle for 15-30 minutes.

An all-purpose solution for an all-out fresh.

Sprinkle ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda on the cushions and let it sit for a few hours. Shake out or clap cushions with your hands.

• Spray then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. ARM AND HAMMER

OUTDOOR Keep plastic looking fantastic. Mix a thick paste of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda and water. • Scrub furniture using a wet sponge. • Rinse off thoroughly with water.

90. GRUNGY GRILLS Grungy grills aren’t a welcome part of any backyard barbecue. Clean them up by sprinkling dry ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda on a damp brush, scrub as needed and rinse clean. For tough, greasy stains, scrub with a wire brush and a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda to one part warm water) and rinse thoroughly.

91. POOL CARE Maintaining consistent levels of pH and alkalinity in your pool water is what keeps it balanced, clear and comfortable to swim in. ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda, available in convenient 13.5 lb. large size bags, helps balance the pH of the water in your pool to the desired range and provides necessary alkalinity (mineral salts found in water). When used with your regular chlorinating agent, pH balancing with ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda will keep your pool water sparkling clear, and keep your eyes from burning. Keep your liner in line with Baking Soda.

ARM AND HAMMER

Add ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda to a small amount of hot water. • Mix into a thick paste. • Apply to liner with sponge. • Rinse with water.

92. CAMPING NECESSITY And you thought the tent was essential. ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda is a must-have for your next camping trip! One yellow box does so much. It’s a dishwasher, pot scrubber, hand cleanser, deodorant, toothpaste, and has tons of other uses.

93. CLEAN IGLOOS AND COOLERS Avoid that musty/moldy smell that camping equipment can get and keep it smelling fresh, by sprinkling generous amounts of baking soda into your clean and dry cooler (or put in an open box), thermos, and even tent before storing them away. Staying outside has never smelled so good!

94. GRIMY BEACH/POOL TOYS Grimy pool toys can ruin a perfectly beautiful day at the pool. Mix 1/4 cup ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda with a quart of warm water. Wipe down toys with solution and rinse. Smaller items may be soaked first and then rinsed. 27

KIDS AND ACTIVITIES 95. MAKE WATERCOLOURS Who knew making watercolors was this easy? Mix them up and get ready to paint a masterpiece with your little one. Experiment with amounts to get the most vibrant colors. Do not eat or drink the watercolors. What You Need: • 2 tablespoons ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda • 2 tablespoons flour • 2 teaspoons sugar • 1 packet* dry unsweetened drink mix (any flavor) • 2 tablespoons water How to Make it: • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. • Add water and stir until fizzing stops. (Different flavors of the drink mix will yield different colors.) • For more intense watercolor, a few drops of food coloring can be added to the mix. • Paint with them right away, or pour into jar lids or plastic tray to let harden for future use.

*Packets vary in size, depending on flavor. Use enough drink mix to make 2 quarts. Remember the importance of adult supervision, especially with young children.

96. CORK RACES Use the reaction between ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda and vinegar to create a racing game! Supplies: • Several lengths of clear plastic tubing(1inch inner diameter, each approximately 3 feet in length) • Painted cork balls(3/4 inch diameter or small enough to pass easily through tubing) • Vinegar • Hand dishwashing liquid • ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda • Measuring spoons and cup • Small container with spout • Tape Directions: Step 1: Tape up one end of each tube to be the bottom.

KIDS AND ACTIVITIES Step 2: Stand tubes upright on a flat surface (baking sheet or tray) and pour one tablespoon of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda into the bottom. Step 3: Drop a cork into each tube. Step 4: Make a mixture of 1/2 cup of vinegar and dishwashing liquid in the spouted container. Step 5: Pour the mix carefully down the inside of the tube and watch the cork ride the suds to the top. Keep face away from top of tube to avoid being splashed. Supervise use with young children. Explanation: The ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda reacts with the vinegar in the mixture and produces a gas: carbon dioxide (CO2). As the gas is released it bubbles through the dishwashing liquid, creating the suds that push the cork to the top. Variations: • Experiment with different mixes of vinegar, ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda and dishwashing liquid and have races to find the mix that makes the fastest cork. • Mark the tubes 2/3 of the way to the top. Experiment with mixes and quantities to get the cork to stop closest to the mark.

K • Try ping-pong balls instead of cork ball and use wider-diameter tubing. Remember the importance of adult supervision, especially with young children.

97. ERUPTING VOLCANO Watch the natural reaction of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda with vinegar.

How it works: Carbon dioxide is released, making bubbles through the dishwashing liquid and food coloring, which creates a foaming, red lava! Making the volcano: • On a baking sheet (or other easily cleaned surfaces), shape cardboard into a broad cone shape using the cup to form a “crater” at the top of the volcano. • Use plaster of Paris over the cone to form the volcano (do not get plaster into the crater). Allow volcano to dry completely. • Paint or decorate volcano as desired. Making the eruption: In a plastic cup, mix ¼ cup vinegar with a few drops of hand dishwashing liquid, a few drops of water and a few drops of red food coloring.

KIDS AND ACTIVITIES • Put 1 teaspoon of ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda in a small, empty plastic cup. Place this cup inside the volcano crater. • Quickly pour vinegar mixture into the ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda cup that’s inside the crater.

98. PLAY CLAY Made with three simple ingredients, Play Clay provides virtually unlimited creative possibilities for kids. And best of all, the ingredients are right in your kitchen. Play Clay can be stored in your fridge for up to one week if you want to reuse it. Or you can dry the finished product overnight or in your oven. • Pour 2 cups ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda into a saucepan. • Add 1 cup cornstarch. • Stir until mixed. • Add 1 ¼ cups cold water. • Add food coloring if desired. • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until consistency of mashed potatoes (10-15 mins). • Remove mixture to plate and cover with damp cloth. • When cool to the touch, pat until smooth.

• Play with your clay! Do not eat clay. Children should use with adult supervision.

99. MAGIC BEANS What You Need: • Vase or wide-mouthed clear jar • 1/4 cup vinegar • 3 teaspoons ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda • food coloring How to Make it: 1. Fill vase/jar with water. 2.
