Did you know that the same box of baking soda sitting in your pantry can be one of your best allies in house cleaning? At Sophia Home Cleaning, we believe that keeping your home spotless doesn’t have to be expensive, harsh, or complicated. Baking soda is a perfect example, it’s gentle, effective, eco-friendly, and incredibly versatile for cleaning every corner of your home.
Here are 10 simple and genuinely useful ways to use baking soda for house cleaning:
If your kitchen sink has an unpleasant smell, pour 2 tablespoons of baking soda down the drain followed by hot water. It helps neutralize odors without harming your pipes.
Scorched the bottom of your pan? Cover it with hot water and a tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a sponge, it’ll come right off.
Kitchen sponges harbor bacteria. Soak them in a mix of 1 liter of warm water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda for 30 minutes. Rinse and let them dry in the sun.
Sprinkle baking soda over sofas, carpets, or armchairs. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly. It absorbs odors and helps remove dust and moisture, perfect for freshening up your living room.
Sprinkle a bit inside your shoes before bed. In the morning, shake out the excess. It’s a natural way to eliminate odor and absorb moisture, a quick fix for closet freshness.
Make a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the underarm area of shirts, and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing. It neutralizes smells and helps brighten fabric.
Place half a cup of baking soda in an open container at the back of your fridge. It will absorb unpleasant odors, just replace it every two months. Great for maintaining a fresh-smelling kitchen.
Mix baking soda with a little hydrogen peroxide and scrub grout lines using an old toothbrush. It brings back the shine without harsh chemicals, ideal for bathrooms and kitchen floors.
Stubborn coffee stains? Sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge and gently scrub the inside of your mugs. Rinse, and they’re as good as new, a simple touch that makes a big difference.
Soak cloths, brushes, and scrubbers in warm water with 3 tablespoons of baking soda overnight. Rinse well in the morning to remove buildup and odors, keeping your cleaning gear in top shape.
You might’ve heard that baking soda and vinegar can unclog drains. Truth is, they can freshen the smell, but they won’t clear serious blockages. For that, you’ll need proper tools or professional help.
