Baking Soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate. To make ARM & HAMMER® Baking soda, the soda ash is mined in the form of an ore called trona.

Bags and filters are packaged to preserve maximum deodorizing potential so you get full strength protection when you first install the bag or filter in your vacuum. The deodorizing ingredient is effective until your bag or filter is replaced, providing you replace your bags as recommended every one to two months and filters every six months. For more information on changing your bags and filters, refer to our Usage Tips section.

It all depends on how frequently you vacuum your home. Visit our Usage Tips section to find out how to get the most out of your vacuum and vacuum accessories.

Each bag and filter has been enhanced with a specific amount of the proprietary deodorizing mix in order to maximize the product’s effectiveness. The amount has been calculated for the volume of maximum dust capacity in each application.

Technically speaking there is no difference between the two. Usually baking soda is a food grade product that is much more refined than raw sodium bicarbonate. Preferably, try to use Baking soda.

The vacuum process removes the dirt and debris and transports it to the bag or dust container. When it is no longer in your carpet or upholstered furniture it can no longer “ferment” and create the acidic fumes associated with unpleasant odors.

ARM & HAMMER® vacuum bags and filters eliminate odors caused by mold, bacteria and fungi while you vacuum. You get the best of both worlds by using our bags and filters – removing dirt and allergens, while at the same time eliminating odors.

Yes. ARM & HAMMER® vacuum bags and filters are as safe as the manufacturer branded vacuum bags and filters.

No. If you wash an ARM & HAMMER® bag or filter, you will lose the odor-eliminating properties of the bag or filter. Note: you should never wash a vacuum bag or filter unless specifically instructed to do so by the manufacturer.

Yes. In fact, ARM & HAMMER® vacuum bags and filters are guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Should a defect occur, please call 1-888-800-2302 to find out how to receive a free replacement.

The ARM & HAMMER® premium allergen vacuum bags are recommended by Allergists. Allergists recommend using the ARM & HAMMER® premium allergen vacuum bags with HEPA filters, for a clean and healthy home. Updated packaging, with the Allergist recommended logo, will be available starting September of 2007.

Technically speaking there is no difference between the two. Usually baking soda is a food grade product that is much more refined than raw sodium bicarbonate. It works as a leavening agent because it gives out carbon dioxide when heated above 50?C. The method you are using to make the paneer is correct but the problem you are facing is very common. It is the tendency of the homemade paneer that it melts when you fry it in the heated oil.

Baking soda is the common name for sodium bicarbonate. It is a leavening agent used to increase the volume of baked goods when they are cooked. Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and leavening acids such as cream of tartar and acid phosphates.

dirty air passes through the vacuum bag or filter, ARM & HAMMER® baking soda particles neutralize odor bearing chemicals. As a result, clean, odor-free air is released into your home. In our vacuum bags and filters, ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is added as part of a special, proprietary, treatment to provide maximum deodorization in a small space.

A salt mixture which is also very suitable for nasal rinsing consists of two kinds of salt: common salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate or bicarbonate of soda, NaHCO3). Baking soda buffers the rinsing solution, i. e. it keeps the pH value (degree of acidity) constant at the desired alkaline strength of approx. 8. In human blood, sodium hydrogen carbonate shows the second highest salt concentration after sodium chloride.

A hypertonic saline solution buffered with baking soda is more agreeable for nasal rinsing than if it is unbuffered. It supports the cleansing function of the nasal mucous membrane, i. e. the mucociliary clearance which is the mucus transport system. For a very mild, buffered hypertonic rinsing solution you put one, or one heaped measuring spoonful of salt per rinsing pot filling into the nasal rinsing pot and then add about half a measuring spoonful of baking soda.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate; adding it to drinking water does not raise the pH value of the water. However, once in the blood stream, it will act as alkaline buffer and, when too much acid is around, the lungs will exhale CO2 The only problem with this method is that continued consumption of baking soda will upset the potassium/sodium balance of the body, creating bad side effects as high blood pressure.

In recipes calling for baking soda or baking powder double the amount called for with Ener-G Calcium Carbonate (Baking soda Substitute) or Ener-G Baking Powder. The CO2 in Ener-G Baking powder/soda comes from Calcium carbonate (CACO3). The CO2 from ordinary baking powder/soda comes from Sodium bicarbonate (NA2CO3). Thus ordinary baking powder/soda has 2 units of CO3 to release while Ener-G Baking powder/soda only has 1 unit of CO3 to release.

Not really. Although baking soda was used regularly many years ago as a tooth cleaning agent because it neutralizes acids and cleans well, it's not usually recommended anymore because of its abrasiveness. You're better off using plain water or one of several SLS free toothpastes, with a soft toothbrush. quot;Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing"

Baking soda was once commonly added to green vegetables because it helps maintain their vivid color. However, it also destroys vitamins, particularly Vitamin C and Thiamin. The vegetables will also have a mushy texture as baking soda softens the cell walls of the vegetables. If boiling or simmering, cooking without a lid will better retain color.
