The uses for baking soda as a cleaner are endless and with characteristics such as non-toxic, inexpensive and the fact it doesn’t spoil makes it a household essential. Here are our top 10 favorite house cleaning tips using baking soda inside your house.

Top 10 House Cleaning Tips Using Baking Soda

  1. Add baking soda to the bottom of your kitchen garbage, and add more after you put a new bag in to eliminate the smell.
  2. To get rid of scuff marks and/or grease spills on the floor, sprinkle with baking soda and then wipe with a warm, damp cloth. This tip is safe for no-wax floors.
  3. For burnt-on food in the bottom of pots, sprinkle with baking soda, then add hot water. Let soak overnight; the dried on food will come loose much more easily.
  4. To remove stubborn stains from most surfaces, use a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda, one part water). Apply, let stand, then scrub or wipe clean.
  5. To avoid clogged drains, pour 1/4 cup baking soda down weekly. Rinse through with hot water.
  6. To help decrease the chance of spills remaining in the carpet and starting to smell. After cleaning a spill as you would normally, sprinkle with baking soda and vacuum after a few minutes.
  7. Clean children’s toys with 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Toys can either be soaked in this cleaning mixture or wiped with a dampened cloth. Rinse with water.
  8. Replace half of your usual amount of laundry detergent with baking soda to keep clothing fresh.
  9. With the typical bleach amount add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your laundry to increase the bleach’s effectiveness.
  10. Add a little bit of baking soda every day to your laundry hamper to keep the hamper from smelling between emptyings.
