Unconventional ways to use baking soda: 3 useful life hacks

Want to unleash the full potential of baking soda? UAportal has prepared three inventive life hacks that will help you incorporate this versatile product into your cleaning routine.

Renew your carpets

Carpets tend to accumulate dirt and odors over time. Take a moment to sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on the surface.

Gently rub it into the fibers to absorb unwanted odors. After a couple of hours, vacuum the carpet.

Restore the walls

If you have children at home, you've probably faced the problem of marks and stains on the walls from pens, markers, or even gouache. Fortunately, baking soda can come to the rescue again.

Prepare the mixture by moistening a sponge and lightly coating it with a thin layer of baking soda. Apply the product to the stained areas of the walls with light movements.

Extend the life of the bouquet

Did you receive a bouquet of flowers, but they wilted too quickly? Baking soda can be the secret ingredient that will extend their lifespan.

Fill a medium-sized vase with water and add a teaspoon of baking soda. Its alkaline nature helps to regulate the pH level in the water, creating a favorable environment that allows flowers to remain vibrant for a long period of time.
