Whip Out That Baking Soda: 7+ Brilliant Ways to Get Your House Super Clean
✨ Natural, Affordable, and Surprisingly Powerful!
So before you reach for harsh chemicals, whip out that baking soda and try these 7+ genius cleaning hacks to get your house sparkling clean — the natural way.
🛁 1. Make Your Bathroom Shine
Soap scum, hard water stains, and mildew don’t stand a chance against baking soda.
- Tub & Sink Scrub: Mix baking soda with a splash of water to create a paste. Apply with a sponge, scrub gently, and rinse.
- Toilet Bowl Bomb: Pour ½ cup of baking soda into the bowl, followed by ½ cup of vinegar. Let fizz for 10 minutes, then scrub and flush.
Bonus: Add a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or eucalyptus) to make it smell fresh, too.
🧼 2. Freshen Up Your Mattress
Mattresses collect dust, sweat, and odor over time. Baking soda to the rescue!
- Strip the bed and sprinkle baking soda evenly across the surface.
- Let it sit for 30–60 minutes (or longer for deep deodorizing).
- Vacuum thoroughly using the upholstery attachment.
💡 Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the baking soda before sprinkling for a calming scent.
👟 3. Deodorize Shoes, Closets & Gym Bags
Baking soda naturally absorbs odors, making it perfect for anything stinky.
- For Shoes: Sprinkle a spoonful inside and let sit overnight. Shake it out in the morning.
- For Closets or Drawers: Place an open jar of baking soda to neutralize odors.
- DIY Deodorizer Sachets: Fill small cloth bags or socks with baking soda and tie them off. Place in shoes, bags, or gym lockers.
🍳 4. Clean Burnt Pots & Pans
Don’t toss that scorched pan — revive it with baking soda!
- Add a few tablespoons of baking soda to the burnt area.
- Pour in hot water to cover the bottom.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes, then scrub with a sponge or brush.
For extra-tough stains, boil the mixture on the stove for a few minutes before scrubbing.
🧽 5. Polish Stainless Steel & Faucets
- Make a paste of baking soda and water.
- Rub gently onto stainless steel surfaces using a soft cloth.
- Rinse and buff dry with a microfiber towel for a streak-free shine.
🧊 6. Deodorize Your Fridge
Baking soda is a classic fridge deodorizer — and for good reason.
- Place an open box or bowl of baking soda in the back of your fridge.
- Replace it every 30 days to keep things smelling fresh.
Tip: Don’t throw it away — use the old baking soda for cleaning drains or your garbage disposal (see next tip!).
🚰 7. Clean Smelly Drains & Garbage Disposals
Keep your kitchen sink fresh with this fizzy trick.
- Pour ½ cup of baking soda down the drain.
- Follow with ½ cup of vinegar.
- Let it bubble for 10–15 minutes.
- Flush with boiling water.
✨ This works great for both bathroom and kitchen sinks!
