I’m always looking for great natural cleaning solutions. Not only are they better for the environment, but they also tend to be more cost-effective. I’m also really sensitive to certain chemicals, like ammonia and bleach. They give me headaches and, if even heavily diluted versions touch my skin, major red welts and rashes. So if there’s a natural cleaning solution, I’ll take it.
I’m going to be totally honest here: I didn’t know about ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda until about two weeks ago. So weird, because I use ARM & HAMMER™ products pretty much everywhere in my house. I’ve been using their Baking Soda for natural cleaning since I had my first apartment! Where have I been on the Super Washing Soda? I picked up a box at Walmart and I’ve been trying it out around the house since. This stuff has so many uses! “How many uses, Nicole?” Why, I’m so glad you asked!
The Many Uses of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda
Right now we’re getting ready for a family party, which means cleaning things that I usually don’t even know exist in my house. So far, I’ve tried ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda to:
Tackle Mount Laundry
I already use ARM & HAMMER™ laundry detergent, but tossing in ½ cup of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda gets my really grungy clothes even more beautiful. It’s especially useful for the dog blankets and beds. I have about 260 pounds worth of dogs between the three of them. That’s like ten toddlers! Plus I have a ten-year-old son. So basically, the equivalent of 20 toddlers when it comes to laundry messes.
De-funk things I didn’t even know were funked
We have a wood stove right in the middle of our dining room. It’s great for heating up the house in the winter, but it’s so front and center when we have guests. I read that you can use ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda to get rid of soot and gunk on the inside glass. I didn’t realize that was supposed to be clear! I’d take a picture, but the kitten gets really excited when I open it and I’d rather not have her covered in soot.
You can also use it for de-funking the inside of your fridge! Check out this awesome video to see how!
Make my world sparkle
Did you know that with ½ cup of ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda and a gallon of hot water, you can clean everything from your bathroom toilets to your appliances? It’s awesome for me because I have hard water. This stuff cuts right through all those hard water stains! You just can’t clean anything aluminum, painted or finished surfaces or floors with wax surfaces. Also, be sure to wear gloves.
Keep the drain free of clogs.
Now, this may not sound super exciting, but it’s actually my favorite use. Back in August, we had a major clog. I know the exact date- August 10th– because it coincided with the day my friend had her baby. Why does this matter? Her husband is my plumber.
We were living with this clog for about a week already because we thought we could get it out ourselves. Joey ended up having to like totally re-plumb (it’s a word now, go with it!) the pipes because ours had some sort of gravity issue. He used bigger words, plumber words, but bottom line: we had weird pipes. Couple that with the fact that I assume if something fits down the drain it should be able to make its way to wherever those pipes end up, and we get clogs. It’s not the first time this has happened. I’d like to say I learned my lesson and it will be the last, but I wouldn’t count on that either.
ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda, used weekly, can help keep the drain clog-free. Just add ¼ cup down the drain, followed by 3 cups of boiling water. I don’t know if it’s “Nikki-proof” but it’s definitely worth trying.
I love finding a versatile natural cleaning solution. It helps save me money, takes up less space under my cabinets (since I can eliminate a few other cleaning supplies) and is so much better for my own environment. ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda is definitely versatile. It’s actually even kind of fun to explore the different ways you can use it. I’m not saying “yay, cleaning!” but when I find something that has so many purposes, it does get me a little more intrigued about the whole process. Now if I could just figure out a way to keep the kitten out of everything when I clean, I’d be all set!

My son’s a machinist and we use this to get rid of the oil and funk in his work clothes. I had no idea it works to clean silver, too. I’ll be sure to give it a try next time I need to do some polishing :)
Sounds great! I love natural cleaning solutions and I also use baking soda for cleaning. I started trying different non-toxic cleaning ingredients last summer and since then I try to clean more and more with them. My favorite natural cleaners are vinegar and baking soda. They can truly clean everything ! Thank you for the post! Greetings!
I LOVE washing soda! It’s the holy grail of cleaners. I use it for so so much!

Oooh, I just saw this from another blogger. I make my own cleaning products so sticking to the natural stuff is really important to me. I would use this to clean my drains for sure.
I didn’t know that this Arm & Hammer product existed either, but it looks like it would be of use in my household. It’s definitely a brand that delivers. I like your suggestion of keeping the drains clog-free…I need that solution.

Wow I’ve never even heard of super washing soda before. We just purchased a new washer and I want it to last as long as it can. I will have to check this product out!
It truly is a great brand and baking soda has so many uses. Did you know that it can whiten your teeth when watered down and also makes a great face mask.
I never knew that this existed. I use Arm and Hammer baking soda to help me clean, but I did not know they had super washing soda. I will have to get some and try it out. I like all natural cleaners.
I must try this at some stage. I use baking soda and lemon juice on kitchen areas. Fantastic cleaner and environmentally friendly.
I’ve been wanting to experiment more with natural cleaning supplies! I’ll have to try this next time we clean house :)
I can’t find this anywhere in Canada, but I use water and vinegar to clean a lot! Baking soda too. I love natural solutions!
I had no idea that you could use this on drains. I will have to upgrade my cleaning routine!
We are not big on chemicals here so this is super appealing to us! I would love to try this out in my bathroom!
One product to clean them all sounds terrific! I would love to clear up some space under my sink, and clear up my schedule by making chores get completed quicker.
Arm & Hammer has always been a family favorite of ours! It has so many uses I cant even believe it. I’m not sure where I’d be without it.
Thanks for all your tips. I knew you could use baking soda to clean but I didn’t know about all the things you can do with it.
I need to start using this around the house more often. It really cuts through dirt and grime! I’d use it on the outside fridge first!
I actually use the Arm ad Hammer washing soda. It is non-toxic and get my house super clean.
I love using natural products to clean. I am definitely going to give ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda a try.
ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda sounds like a great option for cleaning. I will have to pick some up tomorrow to try this weekend.
I have been looking for new ways to reduce the chemicals i am using in my house. I am going to try ARM & HAMMER™ Super Washing Soda .
This sounds fabulous and would be perfect for our house. With all our kids and pets, especially with our bird we can’t use anything harsh this would be a great idea!
I love all the how Arm & Hammer helps to clean cloths and the whole house!! The bathroom is a great place to use it for cleaning.
My bathroom is due for a good cleaning. I don’t have any of this, so I’ll have to pick some up the next time I’m at the store.
I love using baking soda. I always keep some handy, but cleaning my sink with it is my favorite!
This would be great in my household. Clogged drains are something I hate dealing with so this would be perfect.
Thats awesome! You learn something new everyday. I definitely have to try this out. With 4 kids i like to use the least amount of ingredients to clean my house.
I have never used it for anything but baking. I knew you could clean with it, but never tried! I need to try this! It would save a ton of money on cleaning supplies.
I’ve got to get some of this. With three dogs in the house, I”m a big fan of all-natural cleaning agents.
My step-mom actually uses Super Washing Soda to make her own laundry soap! Their clothes come out so clean and stain free. I wish I had the time to make my own like she does
I use baking soda to clean a lot. I love that there are no harmful chemicals involved :)
I don’t have any solutions to share yet because I had never heard of this before today. Thanks for the great review!
