When the folks at Arm & Hammer asked me to switch out one of my current products for baking soda I had a hard time figuring out what I could switch. I use baking soda for everything!

After going back and looking at my 49 uses for baking soda I noticed that there was one thing I hadn't tried yet, using baking soda to remove marks from the walls. In a house with seven kids I have no shortage of marks on the walls, especially those made by little hands holding crayons or markers. I had been using a special sponge to remove the marks, but I was hesitant to let my children use the sponge because I've heard about kids getting skin irritation from it.

Since baking soda is harmless, I can let the perpetrator of the crime (markers and crayons on the wall) remove their artwork using baking soda.

Over the next few weeks we'll be using Arm & Hammer baking soda to clean the walls and I'll report back to share how well it worked. Actually I say we, but I really mean the three year old with the marker box, but I'll be supervising all the same.
