According to Healthline, baking soda (floating salt) is slightly alkaline, has the ability to neutralize acids, deodorize and blow away dirt without causing skin irritation or damaging the surface. This advantage makes it a popular detergent in families.
1. Clean the kitchen surface
Good Housekeeping magazine recommends mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda with warm water to create a thick mixture, then apply it to the surface of a magnesium stove, gas stove or ice surface. Leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse with a soft cloth to help remove the grease stains that have lasted for a long time.
2. Disocialise the refrigerator
Place a small bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator to help absorb moisture and reduce the smell of food. According to The Spruce, the effectiveness is maintained for 12 months and is especially suitable for families with many fresh foods.
3. Cleaning heated and stainless steel
Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda into water, boil in the heat and let it cool naturally. This method helps remove long-lasting mineral waste, while making stainless steel brighter without the need for strong chemicals.
4. Towers and brick mansions
Sprinkle baking soda over the dirty area, then sprinkle white vinegar gently on top to create a foaming reaction. This mixture helps to fly mold and soap residue effectively, less fragrant than regular cleaning solutions.
5. Clean carpets and mattresses
Sprinkle baking soda over the mat or mattress, leave it for 1520 minutes, then vacuum the dust. Many experts at Good Housekeeping consider this a simple but effective way to help remove the smell of sweat, animal fur and bacteria.
Using baking soda properly not only helps save costs but also limits exposure to strong chemicals, protects health and the environment. Studies from Healthline, Good Housekeeping and The Spruce all confirm that this is a natural cleaning solution suitable for every family.
