Cleaning Hacks With Baking Soda

Contents

Clean Carpet

Cleaning your carpet is not exactly a fun task, but it sure would be enjoyable to set off a “carpet volcano” on your next coffee or on that old and persistent stain. If you accidentally end up spilling something over your carpet, which is quickly getting absorbed into it, sprinkle baking soda all over it while ensuring that you spread it to the edges. Let it sit for around 10 or 15 minutes, and then pour vinegar on top of it. For a milder stain, once it stops fizzing, place a towel over it, and press it so that it could dry. You might have to scrub the area if that stain is particularly bad gently. Once the vinegar dries, follow up with a thorough vacuuming to remove any excess baking soda that might remain over the surface.

Hairbrush Cleaner

Want to clean off the gunk that is stuck in your brush? Just like your hair, your brushes require adequate care and cleaning. Firstly, remove any excess hair that might be stuck on the brush, then soak it in a solution of water and baking soda for 60 minutes. It will look as good as a new one once you take it out.

Jewelry Cleaner

If your jewelry gets tarnished or dirty over time, try gently rubbing it with a thick paste of baking soda as well as water to get that shine back. Baking soda is an excellent method to polish your gold and silver jewelry, and you can even use it to clean diamonds. Just ensure that you avoid using it on delicate gems such as opals or pearls, as it can scratch their fragile surfaces.

Grease Cleaner

Sometimes, it may seem like everything about five feet of your oven is covered in grease over time, which can cause a lot of trouble as it is notoriously tough to clean. You can make your job a lot easier by making a paste of baking soda mixed with water and scrub it down properly, and you will have it clean and shiny in almost no time. This trick is even useful on cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and drawers. Proceed with a gentle spray cleaner or by rinsing with water to remove the residue.

Conclusion

Follow these tips and hacks to quickly clean off any stain with baking soda that would typically require expensive cleaning products. You can also feel good knowing you’re helping the environment, your wallet and not using any toxic chemicals inside of your home.
