Here are eight cleaning tips using baking soda:
Eliminate Unpleasant Odours with Baking Soda
Baking soda can remove unpleasant odours from your trash bin and fridge. Place a bowl with a few spoonfuls in the fridge and sprinkle some in the bottom of your garbage can. Replace the baking powder when it stops working.
Clean Your Oven with Baking Soda
To clean grease and stains from your oven, mix a spoonful of baking soda with a litre of hot water. Scrub with a sponge, leave it overnight and then wipe off any residue with a clean sponge.
Maintain Pipes with Baking Soda
Pour a mixture of one cup of baking soda and two glasses of white vinegar down your pipes. This creates an effervescent reaction that will clean them right out. After 15 minutes, rinse with hot water.
Clean Carpets with Baking Soda
To remove odours and clean your carpet, sprinkle baking soda on any stains or markings and scrub with a brush. Let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming.
