Housewives have received great news: you don't need harsh chemicals to deep clean your entire kitchen. One simple product that is found in every home, baking soda, is enough. It not only removes grease, carbon deposits and limescale, but also leaves behind light freshness without strong odors.
Anyone who has tried cleaning the kitchen with baking soda according to an old recipe never goes back to store-bought sprays. The main thing is to use it correctly and take into account the type of surface.
Important: Before using any product, test it on a small area, especially on delicate surfaces.
How to use baking soda to clean the kitchen:
1. For stove and hood
Mix 3 tbsp. spoons of soda with warm water to a paste. Apply to oily areas, leave for 15-20 minutes, then scrub with a soft sponge and rinse. Grease and soot disappear without scratches.
2. For sinks and faucets
Sprinkle baking soda directly onto the damp surface and scrub with a brush or sponge. Soda gently polishes metal, removes plaque and deodorizes.
3. For microwave
Pour a glass of water into a bowl, add 2 tbsp. spoons of soda. Place in the microwave and turn on for 5 minutes. After this, the walls can be easily wiped without effort.
4. For the refrigerator
Wipe the shelves with a solution: 1 tbsp. spoon of soda per 1 liter of warm water. Then place an open container of baking soda inside; it will absorb odors for months.
5. For cutting boards
Sprinkle baking soda, add a little lemon juice, rub and leave for 10 minutes. This will remove the smell of garlic, fish and disinfect the surface.
After cleaning, simply ventilate the kitchen. Thanks to the antimicrobial properties of soda, dirt returns more slowly and the kitchen stays fresh longer.
