We all know baking soda is a great natural cleanser and deodorizer, but you may not have thought of all the ways you can use it to clean baby and kids' stuff.
Green Ideas: Ten Ways to Use Baking Soda To Care For Your Baby
The folks at DIY Naturally posted a good list of uses last Spring which we think are worth taking a look at. We'll get you started with a few and encourage you to check out their post for more.
- To clean cribs, changing tables, baby mattresses, and playpens, sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge and wipe down. Rinse and allow to dry.
- Clean metal, plastic, or vinyl strollers, car seats, and high chairs by applying baking soda directly with a damp sponge. Wipe baking soda clean, rinse and allow to dry.
- Remove odors from strollers and car seats by sprinkling baking soda on the fabric. Let stand for 20 minutes and vacuum.
You can also find some good ideas at Arm & Hammer's website for using baking soda to clean the nursery, the playroom and more.

We use cotton diaper and we use it in the diaper pail to cut odor and to help remove stain from the diaper.

When I worked at an antiques store, I'd use it to clean kid leather gloves and shoes. Pour some on a piece of paper, take pinches and rub it in with your fingers, then brush it away with a small brush. It restored so many lovely antique baby shoes!
