After a time, they can not only make your dishwasher look and smell bad, but decrease its efficiency as well. Luckily, in this case, deep cleaning a dishwasher doesn’t mean getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing with all the force you can muster. All you need to do is toss a cup of baking soda to an empty dishwasher and then run it on the rinse cycle. You may also want to add vinegar to the mix for extra cleaning power. 20 Tackle slippery footpaths Although commercial de-icers can melt ice on footpaths and roads, they can cause damage to the concrete. Here’s where baking soda comes in use – its function is a lot like salt because it contains sodium, which helps to lower the freezing temperature of ice and cause a melting effect. If you happen to have a good stock of baking soda to hand on an icy day, sprinkle a generous amount of the stuff onto your icy patches on walkways. This is a very simple and effective way to eliminate slipping hazards without salt. 21 Handle marble and granite stains Marble and granite counter tops are gorgeous, but they’re porous and will soak in liquids that can leave stains – even sitting water. Many types of liquids and sauces can leave their mark, including fruit juices, wine, coffee, tea, water, vinegar, vegetable and olive oils, sauces, grease splatters, and so on. The best way to keep marble or granite countertops stain-free is to spray the stain first with water, then cover it completely with a thick paste made from baking soda and water. Place a plastic bag or wrap on top of the area and allow it to set for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the solution and wash the area with mild soap and water. 22 Refresh a vacuum bag It's a given that your vacuum cleaner should help your home smell better, not worse -- but if the appliance itself begins to smell bad, it will release its foul odour all over your home every time you use it. Odours in vacuums can have several causes, from mouldy coffee grinds in the bag to pet hair clogging the works. You can prevent the machine from smelling bad by making your own vacuum bag sachets filled with backing soda and dried herbs. Slip these fragrant sachets into your vacuum bag and enjoy the pleasant fragrance when you vacuum the floor. 23 Extinguish minor grease fires A grease fire happens when your cooking oil becomes too hot. When heating, oils first start to boil, then they’ll start smoking, and then they’ll catch on fire. Luckily, minor grease fires can be controlled and put out without causing major damage to your kitchen. Instead of panicking if you ever find yourself fighting a grease fire, go for your baking soda stash as soon as you can. When baking soda is heated, it gives off carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames. Turn off the gas or electricity if you can safely do so. Stand back and throw handfuls of baking soda at the base of the flame. 24 Keep brushes and combs clean Cleaning your hairbrush or comb is a task that often gets neglected or is never done at all. But it’s important to protect yourself against bacteria and allergens like mites that you could get from your brushes, so you should plan on cleaning your brush at least once a month if not once a week. To clean your brush the natural way, first, remove any hair from the bristles using a comb to go through the brush. Then submerge the brush in a solution of baking soda and water until the teeth or bristles are covered. Soak for at least 30 to 60 minutes, then rinse well in hot water. The gunk should be gone. 25 Improve hair health Using a baking soda and vinegar-based hair regimen is rumoured to help reset your scalp to its natural pH, which could be made more acidic or more basic depending on the products you use. For this reason, resetting your hair and scalp's pH balance back to its normal baseline can help remedy a number of issues, including dandruff, scalp irritation, dryness, and more. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda into your palm along with your favourite hair care product. Apply to your hair and scalp, leave for up to half an hour, then shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly. 26 Revive sponges Sponges, by their very nature, get gross pretty quickly. If you find yourself throwing them out more often than you'd like, there's an easy way to at least make them smell a little fresher. All you have to do is soak the offensive sponges in a solution of four tablespoons of baking soda, and one litre of water.
