In order to deodorize and clean pool and lawn furniture without actually using the harmful chemical products, then just mix a solution of ¼ cup baking soda with warm water, wipe the solution on the furniture, and then rinse clean.
If you are dealing with tougher stains, then sprinkle the baking soda on a damp sponge directly, scrub the furniture with it, and then rinse. This is the perfect way to guarantee cleaner and fresher pool furniture all summer long!

Regardless of what season it is for you now, you are always at risk of getting bug bites. Those little monsters are everywhere all year long, but of course, they increase during the hot season.
Anyway, if a bug found its way into your skin, then relieve the pain and itchiness quickly by applying baking soda paste: Mix 3 parts baking soda to one part water. After removing any stinger, apply the paste on the affected area and allow it to dry. The itchiness will soon be completely gone, and in case it didn’t, repeat it again.

It is a tiring process to take your dog to the bathtub every time he starts smelling bad, which can be multiple times a day since they are extremely active and very curious creatures, which leads them to be in dirty places.
To help your dog smell fresh again without going through all that bathing process, just rub dry baking soda on his body, brush or comb it, and voila!
There is nothing to worry about because the baking soda is completely safe and non-toxic for use around and on your pets, but in case of suspicion, you can ask your vet!
