About the Holiday

National Bicarbonate of Soda Day is the day we celebrate Baking Soda. Unless you love baking you may be wondering why there is a day to celebrate baking soda, but there are many uses for baking soda.

1. Baking Soda can be used to remove tarnish from silver, including sterling silver jewelry. Baking soda activated by boiling water and when the silver is in contact with a piece of aluminum foil will create a reaction that will remove the tarnish by making it bind to the aluminum, and will leave the sterling silver shiny.
2. Baking Soda can be used to relieve the pain from bee stings, sunburn, and the itch from poison ivy.
3. Baking Soda can be used to brush your teeth, and exfoliate your skin.
