If you aren’t sure if your baking soda is still good by doing The Baking Soda Test. Most people don’t realize that baking soda actually does go bad over time. If you aren’t sure how old yours is, stir 1/4 tsp into 2 tsp of white vinegar. If it doesn’t bubble vigorously, throw it out.

also “bad or old” baking soda can also be used for litter box deodorizor, heck even after you think you should “throw out” the one from your fridge it too can be used for litter boxes. also it can be added to carpet refreshers (you know the powder stuff) one part carpet powder one part baking soda. this keeps the scent from being too strong for those of us with sensitive allergies.

Good tip to make sure it is still good for baking. I would suggest if it is too old to use for baking to use it for cleaning. I have a container marked Baking Soda for Cleaning by the sink and I use it frequently when cleaning a dish or even to clean the sink.

Thanks for the baking soda test. I will try this as soon as I get home.
