Lay roll of bounty on it's side and cut in half. Set 1/2 roll in a container.
Pour 1/2 of solution on towels.
Turn towels over and pour the rest.

Uses for Baking Soda

Baking soda works super as a cleaner. I put some on a wet sponge and clean the sinks, bathtub etc. Also adding 1/4 cup to the kids' bathwater helps keep diaper rash at bay and keeps the tub clean from that tub ring if you wipe it down with a sponge afterward. Add 1 tbsp to your dishwater and it helps cut grease and cleans the sink too. I use vinegar as a rinse agent in the dishwasher and once in a while put baking soda in the soap dispenser and run it empty to get the dishwasher clean.

Thanks Frugal Family!
