58 BAKING SODA USES, BENEFITS & HACKS - The Ultimate Guide Part 1 Natural Health Remedies
PART 2 https://youtu.be/sDaaxh50hzk PART 3 https://youtu.be/kBKSysOpdkY Baking soda is a natural ingredient that can be used effectively for a whole host of cleaning tasks, but its range of uses are broader than you ever could have imagined. Without further ado, let’s get started on the 58 uses of baking soda all over your home that will change your life for the better… 1. Homemade deodorant Baking soda can be used as a natural deodorant for the underarms, feet, and anywhere else that takes on an odour thanks to its ability to deodorize by bringing both acidic and basic odour molecules into a neutral, more odour-free state. Combine equal parts baking soda, tea tree oil and corn starch. Mix the formula well and keep in airtight container. Then dab the homemade deodorant onto your skin using a brush or a pad. 2. Remove dirt and grime from hard floors Hard wood flooring that's stained with spills and other marks is difficult to treat, but baking soda is likely to tackle it effectively. Apply baking soda to stains such as mildew, soap scum or hard-water deposits, then use a little muscle to scrub the stains away. The great thing about baking soda for your flooring is that it’s tough enough to do the job, but it won’t leave scratch marks. Just add half a cup of baking soda in a bucket of warm water. Then mop and rinse for a sparkling floor. 3. Fix musty books The same baking soda that absorbs bad odours in the air can absorb the bad odours in your books. Place a cup of baking soda or an opened box in a plastic box or bin with a lid. Put the book in the box with the baking soda and close the lid. Leave it for up to three days, then check on the book. For bigger problem books, sprinkle baking soda directly onto the pages and follow the same waiting process to give them time to air out. 4. Make toothpaste Baking soda has natural whitening properties, which is why it's a popular ingredient in commercial toothpaste. It's a mild abrasive that can help scrub away surface stains on teeth, and it also creates an alkaline environment in your mouth, which prevents bacteria from growing. To make baking soda toothpaste, mix baking soda with a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution. Use the resulting paste as an alternative to commercial non-fluoride products. To make a more appealing peppermint toothpaste, simply add peppermint essential oil for flavour. 5. Handwash dishes, pots and pans If you’re struggling with greasy pots and pans, try adding 2 tablespoons baking soda to your regular dish detergent to your washing up water to help cut grease and foods left on their surfaces. If you’ve got a particularly difficult-to-scrub stain, sprinkle the pot or pan with about a tablespoon of baking soda, then add a cup of water and half a cup of vinegar and boil the mix on the stove for 10 minutes. The food or stain should wipe away easily once cooled. 6. Unclog drains Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Vinegar is made up of water and acetic acid, which is an acid. When you combine these two ingredients, a reaction happens where molecules get exchanged, creating carbon dioxide and water that bubbles through clogs in your drain, breaking it up to create loose material. As drainage pipes aren’t pressurized, when you use boiling water to flush the drain, pressure is added. This pressure helps in the process of removing unwanted goop out of the pipes and unclogs drains. Just toss 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, then pour a cup of white vinegar. Let it sit for half an hour before pouring in hot water on top. 7. Clean shower curtains Not only do dust and soap scum accumulate on the curtain and liner over time, but the heat and moisture produce conditions that allow mould and mildew to thrive. To remove stubborn stains, sprinkle baking soda on a damp, microfiber cloth and use it to scrub the entire shower curtain. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth until all the baking soda is removed. If the curtain has more stubborn stains, scrub them again with baking soda until the stains are gone, then rinse again. 8. Clean the microwave Microwaves have a tendency to accumulate residue from various foods. If they’re not immediately cleaned, further cooking can make these spills set, making them even more difficult to remove. While wiping these stains down will definitely help, it’s also possible to microwave a solution of water and baking soda to make the residue easier to clean, as well as dealing with any unpleasant odours. You have two options here: the first is to sprinkle baking soda onto a moist sponge and clean gently inside and outside the microwave, before rinsing well with water. Alternatively, add a couple of teaspoons of baking soda to a bowl of water and place it in microwave. Heat the solution for 3 to 5 minutes, then when the microwave stops, keep the door closed to give the moisture and steam from the bowl plenty of time to work. Finally, remove bowl and wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth.
