Cleaning with Baking Soda

Baking Soda has many wonderful uses. Besides baking or removing odors in the fridge, baking soda can be used to scrub tubs, toilets, shower curtains and floors. For these uses, sprinkle the baking soda on the item to be cleaned and use a damp sponge to scrub away the grub.

Baking Soda is also useful in cleaning sliver. You can make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it onto your sliver items. Leave for up to 5 minutes and then rinse and buff. For larger items, and heavily tarnished items, soaking your sliver in a tin foil pan with a mixture of baking soda and water heated up will generally remove all tarnish. Rinse, dry and buff. Your sliver should be as good as new.


Baking soda is also a great carpet deodorizer. Especially with children around crawling on your floors, keeping your house clean and chemical free can be difficult. If your carpet begins to get dingy and smelly, sprinkle baking soda all over the carpet and leave for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Vacuum as usual and your room will be free of smells. The baking soda absorbs any moisture and odors to keep everything smelling clean and your family chemical free.
