Baking soda is a great, natural solution for clearing blockages in drains that run slowly. To clear a blockage with baking soda, first pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain. Then carefully pour a cup of white vinegar down the drain.
The vinegar and baking soda will create a fizzing reaction that should help dissolve clogs in your pipes. Leave the solution in the drain for up to 30 minutes to allow the vinegar and baking soda to work their magic.
After letting the mixture sit for 30 minutes, run hot water down the drain to flush out any residue from the clog. If your pipes are still not draining properly, you can repeat this process until your pipes are flowing freely again.
Baking soda is non-toxic and won’t damage your plumbing system like harsher chemical solutions, so it’s safe to use at home anytime.
Watch my video to see several ways to unclog drains and get rid of unpleasant odors with home remedies.
Combat unpleasant odors with cinnamon
Combat unpleasant odors with cinnamon
It’s no secret that cinnamon has a wonderful aroma, but did you know that you can also use it to eliminate unpleasant odors in your home? To use this trick, simply sprinkle a thin layer of ground cinnamon on the affected area and let the scent work its magic!
Baking soda against stains on the carpet
Try baking soda for carpet stains: If you have stains on your carpet, baking soda is a great remedy to get rid of them. Simply sprinkle it generously on the affected area and leave it to work for a few hours before vacuuming. The baking soda will absorb the stain and make your carpet look like new!
Use essential oils for the scent
Essential oils are not only used in aromatherapy; they can also be used to scent your entire home. Add a few drops of essential oil to a bowl of boiling water and let the scent fill the air. You can find essential oils in most health food stores or online.
Use white vinegar to clean glass surfaces
White vinegar is an excellent natural cleaning agent. It can be used to clean glass surfaces such as windows and mirrors. Simply mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle and use the mixture to wipe down glass surfaces. The vinegar will remove dirt and grime without leaving streaks or residue.
Lemon juice as a natural disinfectant
Lemon juice is another great natural cleaning agent that doubles as a disinfectant. You can make your own lemon-based cleaner by mixing one cup of water with two tablespoons of lemon juice. Use this homemade solution to mop floors, wipe down countertops and clean bathroom fixtures.
Vinegar and baking soda to clean the oven
Baking soda is a more sustainable way to clean the oven instead of using environmentally harmful, aggressive cleaning agents
Vinegar and baking soda make an effective natural oven cleaner. Mix equal parts white vinegar and baking soda to make a thick paste. Spread the paste over the inside surfaces of your oven, making sure all areas are covered with grease or dirt. Leave the paste to work for about 15 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth or sponge.
This natural cleaner is best applied with a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to reach all the nooks and crannies inside your oven. Once you have scrubbed off the paste, you can wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue. The vinegar will help to remove the grease, while the baking soda will act as a mild abrasive to loosen any stuck-on food residue.
Using vinegar and baking soda is an effective way to deep clean your oven without using harsh chemical cleaners that can be harmful to you and the environment.
Note, however, that this method should not be used on non-stick surfaces as it can damage them. If you have stainless steel appliances in your kitchen, you should also avoid using vinegar as it can damage the surface.
