More than Baking Soda
We all know a box of baking soda can help keep the fridge smelling fresh, but here are some other great cleaning ideas for baking soda that are just as handy! You can:
- Make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 teaspoon water and scrub gunk out of a can opener with an old toothbrush.
- Clean stained coffee mugs by filling with 1 part baking soda and 2 parts water. Let it sit overnight then rub with a sponge and rinse.
- Remove odors from upholstered furniture by sprinkling baking soda on the fabric then vacuum it up.
- Clean crayon marks off white walls with a baking soda paste (equal parts baking soda and water). The paste might dull colored walls.
- Clean the Statue of Liberty, like they did on her centennial in 1986!
