The Many Uses of Baking Soda Around the House

1. The Many Uses of Baking Soda Around the House Baking soda has antibacterial, pH-regulating properties, is safe to use around pets and kids and has countless uses around the house. Yet despite being a traditional and non-toxic product, many parents still don’t know about the many uses of baking soda. When you are a busy single parent juggling kids and full-time work, it is easy to turn to harsh, toxic products to clean your home, for example – just think of bleach – simply because they are cheap and convenient to purchase, and you know how to use them. Yet there are products equally inexpensive and readily available, but safer around children and pets, naturally occurring and much more environmentally friendly. Baking soda is one of these miracle products, which is all of the above AND more effective than most cleaning agents found in supermarkets. It is also a simple, effective, and inexpensive staple in many families’ kitchen cupboards and can be purchased just about anywhere. In this article we want to show you some of the many uses of baking soda, so you will never need to buy toxic supermarket products again for use around the house: Baking soda in the kitchen Cleaning can feel like a chore when you are a busy single parent, and it is easy to let grime build up in frequently used areas such as the kitchen. This is one area where baking soda is useful: as a powerful and extremely versatile cleaner that can be used to get rid of the icky grease that builds up in any family kitchen. Clean kitchen counters There is no easier way to clean your kitchen worktops than with baking soda. Start by dissolving a couple of teaspoons of baking soda in a bowl. Then dry any wet surfaces and wipe any bits of food from your kitchen counters before scrubbing more aggressively with a sponge or a brush. This will get rid of any built-up debris, dirt, grease, oil, and grime. Baking soda is perfect for the kitchen and the many messes that come from daily use and sticky kids’ fingers.

2. Did you know that the best way to remove burnt food from pots and pans is with baking soda? Simply scrub the pan with a brush and sprinkle some baking soda into the pot or pan. Leave it to sit overnight, and in the morning your pot will look brand new, clean, and shiny. If you need to get grease off your oven racks, try making a paste out of baking soda and water, applying it and leaving it overnight before scrubbing it off the next day. There is no need to purchase new pots and pans because of built up grease! Baking soda will help save you money and time as it will leave your cookware looking new again. Shiny kitchen appliances Baking soda is also perfect for cleaning your kitchen appliances when they have started to look manky. Sprinkle a little baking soda on the inside of your oven or microwave and let it sit for a while before wiping it off. This will remove any unwanted build up that may have accumulated over time and make them look brand new again. You can also sprinkle some baking soda over the top of your stove to remove the smell of food residue and make your stove look shiny and brand new.
