There are multiple uses for baking soda as a natural and cost-effective household cleaner. Here are 10 ways you can cleanse, refresh, shine, and deodorize with baking soda.
1. If you've left something in a crockpot far too long, or forgotten to soak if after use, baking soda can help to clean out the crustiness.
According to Tipnut, you should soak your crockpot with baking soda and warm water or make a paste from those and let it sit on the soiled parts before scrubbing.
2. If you want to clean your stove top quickly, sprinkle baking soda on top and then give it a spray with boiling water to dissolve. Let it sit and then scrub, Tipnut suggests.
