Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is another great eco-cleaner. What makes baking soda such a good cleaner is its alkalinity and ability to dissolve in water. This allows it to chemically react gently with many substances. These reactions are what remove odors and break down stains. It is also a mild abrasive so it has whitening power. Here are just a few of the many things you can clean with baking soda:
appliances,
bathtubs, carpets,
drains, laundry, and many stains. Baking soda is good at deodorizing
appliances, bathrooms,
carpets, laundry, and
shoes. You can also find many more uses in our
