7 Surprising Uses of Baking Soda
5. To make your laundry detergent more powerful
The cleaning prowess of baking soda can be extracted to increase the effectiveness of your normal laundry detergent. Your clothes will look brighter and are likely to smell fresher when you add about half a cup of baking soda to your laundry load.
6. To rid your car of smoke smell from the ashtrays
Do you smoke while driving? If you do, you may be using the car’s ashtray. This is likely to leave a typical smell of cigarette smoke in your car regardless of how much air freshener you spray. To solve this odor problem, use a baking soda paste to clean your car’s ashtrays. Once you have cleaned them, leave some baking soda in your car’s ashtray. The baking soda will absorb the odor which is left behind by cigarette butts and smoke ash.
7. To clean pans
Are you tired of scrubbing away charred and burnt food from pans before you throw them in the dishwasher? Stop endless scrubbing and make use of baking soda to clean away the grease and burnt food off your pans. Plug your sink, fill it with warm water and add some baking soda to it. You can also add some normal liquid detergent to the water. Leave your greasy pans and pots in the sink for some time and simply wipe away the stains with a sponge after the baking soda has done its job.
