Many uses forbicarbonate of sodaBicarbonate of soda – more commonlyknown as “bicarb” hasmore uses than youmay know.
It is mainly used with baking powder and asa raising agent and is also commonly used toneutralise odours, as a cleaning agent and evenas an effective and safe way to relieve indiges-tion and constipation. Here are some other us-es for bicarbonate of soda that you may notknow about:
Fridge or freezer: To get rid of odours inyour fridge, place an open container of bicarbinto the fridge and it will absorb all bad smells.Stir the bicarb every two weeks and replaceit every two months.
Dustbins: To clean and neutralise dustbinodours, add one teaspoon of bicarb to the water
you use when cleaning your bin.Cat Litter: Bicarb is great for absorbing cat
litter odours. Cover the bottom of the box withone part bicarbonate of soda and then add alayer of three parts cat litter.
Drains: Unblock drains by adding four ta-blespoons of bicarb into them each week. Flushwith hot water each time.
Burnt pots and pans: To clean burnt potsand pans, soak them in three tablespoons ofbicarb and hot water before washing.
Brushes and combs: Clean brushes andcombs by soaking them in a basin of water withone tablespoon of bicarb.
A handy hint is to always use exactly theamount of bicarbonate of soda called for in arecipe and it is best not to substitute it withbaking powder as the two react differently.

erwards saw captain and veteranflank forward, Isadore Armien, goover for St. Georges’ second score.This timeAdams succeededwith theconversion, 12-3.Kuils River then succeeded with
their second penalty, 12-6 just before
the break.Adams then kicked over his first
penaltyattempt rightafterhalf-time,15-6.It was then speedster forward
flank,AlvinoAnthony, that roundedoff a great passage of play that sawSt. Georges add another seven point-
er, 22-6.Kuils River drew back a try
through hooker, Ludwe Ntlokondo-la, but the conversion was wide, 22-11. The momentum slowly shiftedback in the favour of Kuils River inthe last 15 minutes.Discipline, patience and numer-
ous phases finally saw Kuils River’s
right wing Robin Goliath score, 22-16. The conversion was wide.Adams then took the match away
fromKuils River when he converteda penalty in the last minute, 25-16.Kuils River never gave up and
managedone last score throughAsh-rill Consul. The conversion kickwas
over and the score changed to25-23 just before the finalwhistle blew.“We have worked hard
throughout the year, withvery little comfort in compar-ison to our fellow counter-parts in Super B. We stuck toour guns and stood by eachother,” a battered, bruisedbutdelightedLulucaptain, Is-
adore Armien, added.Armien has been playing for the
club for 15 years, having played inall the leagues the clubhas competedin since unification in 1992.A remarkable feat for a player and
leader of his calibre. He has also be-come the first captain in the club toachieve this.
