cleaning tip baking soda

I have to say I am loving cleaning with baking soda. Cleaning, in general, is not always fun but having one product that does a majority of the things on your spring cleaning list can help in a huge way and baking soda is one of those products that do endless amounts of work. I even got my family members into the baking soda cleaning method. Many of you might already have baking soda knowledge but I want to share with you some things you can use baking soda for around your place this spring cleaning.

Baking Soda for Around the Home

Living Room:

  • Floors – 1/2 cup in a bucket of warm water–mop and rinse
  • Carpet – sprinkle, leave for 15 minutes or overnight and then vacuum 
  • Furniture – put some on damp sponge and rub lightly. Wipe off with a dry cloth.

Kitchen:

  • Pots, Pans & Dishes – 2 tablespoons with your regular dish detergent. 
  • Oven – sprinkle, spray and leave overnight. Next day, wash clean.
  • Microwave – put some on a damp sponge and clean inside and outside the microwave
  • Dishwasher – put in before you wash your dishes and again after the wash cycle.
  • Drain – pour 1/2 cup down the drain while leaving the warm water running.

Final Words
