- hammock 4y agoHow to do this?
- VectorLock 4y agoStick a box of Arm & Hammer in your central air ducts.

- sandworm101 4y agoIt is why a small box of baking soda has a pull-off side revealing a permeable membrane. You put it in the refrigerator to absorb odors, aka volatile organic compounds. Baking soda is alkaline, so it neutralizes acids. As most volatile organic compounds form acids in water, they are essentially absorbed by the baking soda in a moist environment. https://www.armandhammer.com/for-everything-soda/air-freshener-soda https://www.armandhammer.com/for-everything-soda/air-freshen...

- ceejayoz 4y agoDefinitely not.
- fuzzfactor 4y agoThere's a Simpson's episode where Homer consumes some and goes into a hallucinogenic trip overdosing on the flavor of a thousand foodstuffs. So caution would be advised.
- prvc 4y agoIt can be re-used for cleaning if you must.
- sandworm101 4y agoEating it isn't going to kill you. But I think of it more as a backup kitchen fire extinguisher.
