Kitchen cleaner

The versatility of baking soda makes it a great kitchen cleaner. Mixing it with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar may also help control the growth of harmful microorganisms, including mold or bacteria.

You can make a paste by mixing baking soda with an equal amount of lemon juice and a bit of water. Apply the paste to the desired surface with a sponge or cloth and scrub thoroughly.

Here are a few kitchen appliances, items, and surfaces that you can clean with baking soda:

• ovens
• stained coffee cups
• stained marble
• grease stains
• kitchen tiles
  
• tarnished silver
• microwaves
• countertops
