Baking soda is a versatile product that can be used to simplify cleaning. From effective cleaning of kitchen countertops to removing stubborn stains, UAportal tells you about simple and cost-effective tips for using baking soda.

Cleaning kitchen countertops

Baking soda is an effective and natural cleaner for kitchen countertops. To create a cleaning solution, mix baking soda with water to form a paste.

Apply it to the countertop, leave it on for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. This will help remove stubborn stains and dirt, leaving your countertop clean and shiny.

Eliminating odors in the refrigerator

Baking soda is well known for its ability to absorb odors. By placing an open box of baking soda in the fridge, you will neutralize unpleasant odors and keep the fresh aroma.

Cleaning the drain

If you have a clogged drain, pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain and add a cup of vinegar. The resulting fizzy chemical reaction will help break down any contaminants and unclog the drain.

Fighting furniture stench

Sprinkle baking soda on upholstered furniture to eliminate any musty odors. Leave on for about 15 minutes and then vacuum.

Removing stubborn stains

Baking soda can be used to tackle stubborn stains on a variety of surfaces. For textiles, such as carpets or clothing, mix baking soda with water to form a slightly abrasive paste and apply it to the stain. Leave on for a few minutes, and then rinse and wash as usual.
