Recommended uses:
Kitchen and stovetop grease: Spray on greasy surfaces and let it sit before wiping; the baking soda cuts through grease with ease.
Metal fixtures and faucets with mineral buildup: Spray, leave for 10–15 minutes, then scrub lightly — the baking soda removes deposits while ginger brings shine.
Spice jars: Effectively cleans away dust and grease without harsh chemicals.
Dishes and utensils: Use this natural cleaner to break down grease; it smells pleasant and is gentle on your hands.
Why does it work?
Baking soda: a strong degreaser and alkaline cleaner
Gingerol (even in dried ginger): offers antibacterial, disinfecting, and deodorizing benefits
Additional tips:
Enhance the scent: Add a few drops of lemon, lavender, or eucalyptus essential oil to the spray bottle for a more pleasant fragrance.
Disinfecting boost: On food-contact areas, you can mix in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar after the mixture settles, then strain before use.
Tackle tough odors: For smelly areas like garbage cans, mix baking soda with half a teaspoon of lemon juice when spraying.
Prevent mold: Store the spray bottle in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; discard if it develops an off smell or changes color.
Reuse: You can reuse the ginger pieces in your trash bin as a deodorizer. Just add more baking soda and water to refresh the spray.
How to store fresh ginger:
Wrap it in dry paper towels, place it in an airtight bag, and store it in your fridge’s crisper drawer — this helps it stay fresh for several weeks.
Alternatively, slice and freeze it, then thaw only what you need.
So don’t throw away wilted ginger — with baking soda and hot water, you can create a biodegradable, budget-friendly cleaner.
Customize it with your own scents and natural disinfectants to care for your home and your health using ingredients you already have. A simple, sustainable, and effective option!
