Baking soda is actually some pretty amazing stuff.
Absorbing unwanted smells isn’t the only secret baking soda has up its sleeve.
It really is quite the handy household helper.
Use a paintbrush to apply your baking powder paste a toothbrush for tight corners, if necessary.
Then close up the oven and let the baking soda paste work its cleaning magic overnight.
An oven clean enough to win even Martha’s approval.
Perhaps the culprit is your carpet.
Basically, carpets tend to trap and hold onto the scent of whatever’s stinking up your house.
Next, sprinkle the entire carpet with baking soda.
If all of the carpet odor is gone, replace the furniture and you’re good to go.
When acid (vinegar) hits alkaline (baking soda), watch out for fireworks!
Well, at least fizz.
Yet another drain cleaning method, less dramatic but with fewer ingredients, involves baking soda and salt.
Pour a cup of baking soda into your drain, then follow it with half a cup of salt.
Let these ingredients sit overnight, and flush your drain with two cups of boiling water in the morning.
