Please note that we are Arm & Hammer Ambassadors. While we were compensated to share this post with you, all opinions remain 100% our own.

In my home, I have 2 men that work construction (my husband and my son), a cat, and a dog. Let’s face it — my house hasn’t always smelled the most freshest in the world. Thankfully, I have a few tricks up my sleeve that work to masks those smells and its all thanks to Arm & Hammer.

Arm and Hammer Fresh and Clean

Use Arm & Hammer Baking Soda for kitty litter

I love the household uses book that I received in the mail because it has so many great tips on how to freshen your home using the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. My favorite tip that I took away is how to use it to freshen up the kitty litter box — because it can seriously get stinky!

Simply sprinkle it on the bottom of the litter box before putting the litter down and then put your litter in the box. Each time kitty scratches, it releases the fresh smell of Arm & Hammer. Then all you have to do is sprinkle a little more in the box from time to time to freshen it up.

Arm & Hammer Baking soda is a gentle yet effective cleaner and a real alternative to using harsh chemicals, which makes it great for use around food, kids, and pets. It can also be used to replace other household and personal items that may have ingredients that are harmful to the environment.

Our cat’s litter has never smelled better than it does right now. All the odors are gone thank goodness!

Smelly Sneakers — Baking Soda to the rescue

Once again, you can use the baking soda to remove the nasty smelly sneaker odor that seems to like to hang around. In between when no one is wearing the shoes, simply sprinkle it inside. The baking soda will absorb all the moisture and odors. Right before wearing, just tap out the excess.

Laundry and clothing – use the concentrated detergent

My husband and son’s clothing comes home smelling HORRIBLE after being out in the sun all day. I have been complaining for a while about it, because even after I wash them they still had that work smell on them.

Designed to give you ultimate cleaning strength in a smaller size, new ARM & HAMMER™ Ultra Power 4X Liquid Laundry Detergent is ultra-concentrated and packed with two scoops of baking soda. This little bottle offers loads of power, getting your clothes 50% whiter and 50% fresher compared to the leading value detergent per load. It’s the little bottle with the big value. Also available in Perfume & Dye Free.

After using the new Arm & Hammer laundry detergent, I am happy to say that the clothing is smelling like new again. Who knew that this laundry detergent worked like the baking soda? Those two together can make your home smell simply amazing.
