Mom of Little Ones Tip #124

Two words:

Baking Soda!

Just fyi, baking soda can take the stink out of just about anything. At least until you can get somewhere to clean it up properly.

Both my kids were easy vomiters when they were babies. (Stephanie can attest to that...) My husband and I used to keep a container of baking soda in the diaper bag, one in the bedroom, and another one in the car (with an extra shirt for mom/dad).

Baking soda saved many a car trip. There isn't much we can do while they're crying in the car, but at least baking soda makes the mess manageable until we get the baby cleaned up and settled (and ready for the next challenge!!).

Hope this helps!

Now, if it were just so easy to get the stink out of some of our attitudes...!

Also good for stinky sinks, soccer shoes and hubby's work boots. Works great for polishing stainless steel.
