1. Help Neutralize Underarm Odor
Because baking soda helps neutralize odors, some people lightly dust a small amount under the arms as a natural deodorizer.
However, baking soda is alkaline and can irritate sensitive skin, so discontinue use if redness, burning, or itching develops.
2. Freshen Your Hair Between Washes
A tiny amount sprinkled onto oily roots can absorb excess oil much like a dry shampoo.
Use sparingly and brush it out thoroughly.

Frequent use isn’t recommended because baking soda’s high pH may leave hair feeling dry or rough over time.
3. Remove Lingering Odors From Shoes
Sprinkle a little baking soda inside shoes overnight.
It helps absorb moisture and neutralize unpleasant odors.
Shake it out before wearing the shoes again.
