I'm sure most people are aware of baking soda's ability to absorb odor. Placing a box of baking soda in the refrigerator (or freezer) eliminates most odors. It can also be used as a deodorizer on carpets, upholstery, vinyl and drains. Here are some other uses for baking soda:

use to extinguish grease fires;
natural teeth cleaner and whitener;
add to wash to soften fabrics and remove some stains;
scrubbing and scouring bird cages, ovens, toilet bowls, tub and tiles.

Baking soda is often used in combination with water, vinegar and/or lemon juice for general purpose cleaning. The baking soda reacts with the other ingredients by fizzing, which speeds up cleaning times.
