Safety glasses
Two-litre empty soda bottle
3 tablespoons ARM and HAMMER(tm) Baking soda
2-3 cups vinegar

Fill the bottle to the halfway mark with vinegar.
Pour three ARM &HAMMER Baking Soda tablespoons onto a small piece of tissue paper.
The towel is rolled in a tight way to fit into the bottle. This will ensure the baking soda isn’t spilt out.

The bottle should be taken outside. The bottle should be turned upside down, put on its feet, and STAND BACK!
