17. Relieve Heartburn
Heartburn occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort. Baking soda acts as a natural antacid to alleviate symptoms.
- How It Works : Baking soda neutralizes stomach acid, providing quick relief.
- How to Use : Dissolve ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink slowly. Consult a doctor before using regularly.
- Pro Tip : Do not exceed recommended dosages, as excessive intake can disrupt electrolyte balance.
18. Deodorize Trash Cans
Trash cans are notorious for harboring unpleasant odors. Baking soda keeps them smelling fresh between cleanings.
- How It Works : Baking soda absorbs and neutralizes odors at the source.
- How to Use : Sprinkle baking soda at the bottom of the trash can before inserting the liner. Add more as needed to combat persistent smells.
- Pro Tip : Clean the trash can periodically with a baking soda solution (1 tablespoon per quart of water).
19. Freshen Up Fabrics
Upholstery, curtains, and mattresses can trap odors over time. Baking soda refreshes fabrics naturally.
- How It Works : Baking soda penetrates fabric fibers, absorbing and neutralizing odors.
- How to Use : Sprinkle baking soda over the fabric, let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then vacuum it up.
- Pro Tip : For a subtle fragrance, mix baking soda with a few drops of essential oil before sprinkling.
20. Clean Bathtubs and Tiles
Soap scum and hard water stains can make bathrooms look dull. Baking soda cleans and polishes surfaces without harsh chemicals.
- How It Works : Baking soda dissolves grime and leaves surfaces shiny.
- How to Use : Make a paste with baking soda and water. Scrub tiles, tubs, and sinks with a sponge, then rinse with water.
- Pro Tip : For tough stains, let the paste sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.
