cleaning the bread crock or bread box
We have a splendid, French deep bread crock that weighs a ton but keeps bread fresh, as long as the odd piece of organic bread isn't left lurking in the bottom out of sight. In this case, the green mold is very smelly, especially if left for a few days in a nice warm kitchen. Washing out with a solution of baking soda in warm water keeps it mold free and sweet smelling. Let dry thoroughly and cool down before storing bread again.

stovetop fire fighter
1 cup (220g) baking soda
Keep a box of baking soda in the cabinet nearest the stove in case your pan has a flare-up during cooking. To use, quickly cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of your baking soda (about 1 cup or 220g) and place a lid on top. Do not try to wash out the pan until it is completely cool, and never pour water on a grease fire.

1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice

It's easy to keep porcelain sinks sparkling clean with this all-natural, germ-fighting combination: To begin, place the baking soda in a small pile in the sink. Pour the lemon juice on top and watch it start to bubble. Stir with your finger to form a paste, then lightly rub the paste over the entire sink with a damp sponge. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. For an extra sanitizing measure, pour the vinegar on the sponge and use it to give everything one last wipe down. (the vinegar scent will fade as it dries).
