Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a chemical used in medicines, foods, soaps, fire extinguishers, pesticides and manufacturing processes. Other names for sodium bicarbonate are bicarbonate of soda; carbonic acid, monosodium salt; monosodium carbonate; monosodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Clothes and baking soda
If an article of your clothing is stained with an acid of some sort, then treating the stain with sodium bicarbonate before washing should help to remove the stain. Spread the sodium bicarbonate over the affected area and then get it wet. Put it in the wash and make sure it rinses in warm water.
Baking soda on Other Surfaces
If you have a particularly stubborn stain on a surface made of laminate, marble or plastic, use a brush and a paste made from baking soda and water to scour the surface.
Baking soda can also be used on a wide variety of other materials and surfaces. You can use it to clean stainless steel, to remove tannin stains caused by tea and coffee from crockery and to remove crayon stains from wallpaper. Just sprinkle it onto a wet sponge and apply to the surface.
Great Tip, this really works, thanks alot!
Amazing, i will tell everyone about this!
A paste made of baking soda and cold water removes the pain from a burn instantly, not really a cleaning tip but useful to know. A solution of baking soda and water removes bad smells from your fridge, vacuum flask, microwave and many other things I probably haven’t thought of right now.
I have also found that you can sprinkle some baking soda on dollar weed in the yard. Be sure to just sprinkle it on the weed, although I haven’t found it to kill the grass.
Viola, the next day they are gone. You might have to do this several times as they have roots that spread under the ground. Believe me, it is worth doing. And no chemicals laying around.
