Good for use on the floor, frame, pants, tools and even skin but should NOT be used for acid in the eye; just plain water.
See them little bubbles created when acid and soda mix? There is also HEAT generated by that reaction, which may do additional damage to the eye!
P.S. When using a soda solution to clean on/around the top of the battery, don't get too sloppy. If a little leaks INTO the battery, you're screwed. (Wonder how I know that!?)
