Let’s continue down the list …. 38 Clean your freezer Because the freezer is a place for long-term storage, it’s easy to forget what we’ve put inside — and it’s also easy to let sneaky leaks go un-wiped and for food debris to gather in its nooks and crannies. Again, in this case, baking soda is your cleaning best friend. After a thorough washing with soapy water, give your freezer a quick rinse with a solution of backing soda and warm water. It will help to remove the soap residue as well as freshen things up. Leave for 5 minutes, then wipe off the inside with a clean cloth. 39 Clean lunch boxes The best way to avoid a smelly lunch box or bag altogether is to make a habit to remove everything from it right away, then use a slightly damp towel with a small amount of mild dishwashing detergent to wipe the inside and outside. If you’ve left things a little too late, though, you can still freshen out your lunch bag with baking soda. Just sprinkle the stuff inside the lunch bag and fill it with crumpled newspaper to absorb the moisture and smell. Close the bag and after 1 or 2 days, remove and discard the newspaper and baking soda. Wipe the inside of the lunch bag with a clean, damp towel and allow to air dry. 40 Freshen bedding When it comes to treating your bed to a new set of fresh linen, everyone wants to experience that clean scent. Too often, however, getting that clean scent takes a whole lot of unwanted chemicals. If you’re looking for a chemical-free remedy, try combining dried, ground herbs with a half a cup of baking soda to freshen your bed linen. Apply the baking soda straight onto the bedding, then leave it for several hours before vacuuming the baking soda away. A simpler solution is to store your baking soda and herbs in an open-lid box in your laundry cupboard. 41 Fix Hard Water Laundry In regions where the water supply has a high mineral content, baking soda added to a load of laundry will prevent the dinginess in clothes washed in hard water. Try adding a small cup of baking soda to the wash as a laundry booster. 42 Make toilet cleaner and freshener The toilet is an area of the home that requires regular cleaning, as nasty residue can quickly accumulate on the toilet surface, leaving unattractive discoloured stains. There are a whole range of retail toilet cleaning products on the market, but these contain harsh chemicals that are better off avoiding altogether. Try using baking soda instead for a similar cleaning effect. First, tip out 1 cup of baking soda into the toilet, then follow it up with 1 cup of vinegar. Let the solution fizz for 20 minutes, then get a toilet brush to scrub toilet bowl clean. Flush and step back to examine your impressive handiwork. 43 Clean battery connections Cleaning your battery connections, especially if the terminals are corroded, will help ensure the battery lasts longer and performs well. Corrosion shows up in the form of a crusty, fuzzy-looking substance that leaves a mess on your car battery terminals and cable ends. Baking soda can be used to neutralize battery acid corrosion on cars, mowers, and so on. Make sure to disconnect the battery before cleaning the battery connections. Make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1-part water, then apply with a damp cloth to scrub corrosion. 44 Clean your car You can use baking soda to clean nearly every area of your car. Get started by making a baking soda solution of a quarter-cup baking soda in 1 litre of warm water. Apply the formula to clean your car lights, windows, chrome bumpers and trim, and floor mats. You can also use baking soda on your upholstery and car seating. For stubborn stains, use baking soda directly from the box on a damp sponge. For fabric upholstery, sprinkle baking soda on spots and stains while the spill is fresh and brush it off after all the moisture is absorbed. 45 Treat cold sores You can spend a lot of money on expensive cold sore remedies, but this DIY baking soda version will cost you mere pennies. Mix a small amount of baking soda with enough water to make a paste, and apply the paste to the cold sore. Allow it to dry, then rinse and pat dry. Repeat every day until the cold sore disappears, usually in about a week. 46 Fix smelly ashtrays If you find cleaning ashtrays a real headache, you’re not alone. The ashes stick to the surface of the ashtray and refuse to come off, leaving a lingering smell of stale smoke in the area. Though you might not be able to fully de-stain your ashtray, you can get rid of the odour with baking soda. Just mix equal parts white sand and baking soda and pour the mixture into your affected ashtrays. This helps diffuse the odour from cigarette butts when you place them in your ashtray, and also helps neutralize the
