Baking soda and vinegar are very important and useful.
They are useful in cleaning any item.
I will tell you some ways of using them.
1. Sprinkle baking soda over clothes before putting them in the washing machine.
It will brighten the clothes.
Then use some vinegar in the rinse cycle to remove any nasty odours and soften the fabric.
2. Use some white vinegar and baking soda in your plug drain hole.
Many a times, the drain holes are clogged due to dirt trapped in the pipes leading foul odours.
Pour the baking soda in first and then the white vinegar.
This will break down the dirt and help with blockages and smells.
3. Door mats and rugs can become dirty. To clean them,
sprinkle baking soda and leave it overnight,
and then vaccum it up to get rid of dirt, dust and bad smells.
4. Sometime Tupperware containers can get stained. These may be difficult to wash.
Sprinkle some baking soda in stained Tupperware with little water and leave it overnight.
Then rinse it in the morning. This will get rid of the stains.
5. Oven walls and the glass can get stained and greasy.
Mix baking soda with water to make a paste and spread it
on the walls and door of the oven and leave it overnight.
Wipe it off with a damp cloth to reveal clean glass.
6. Refrigerators & trash can emit foul odours.
Leave some baking soda in an open container in the fridge or trash can to absorb bad smells.
Later you can throw these containers away and the fridge will be free of odour.
7. Soak a rag in white vinegar and wrap and secure it around the end of a tap to get rid of lime scale.
8. Fabrics when kept for a long time may become mouldy.
Put white vinegar in a spray bottle and sprinkle it on mouldy fabric to kill it.
It will remove the mould from the clothes.
9. When washing towels use white vinegar in the washing machine with luke warm water.
This will make the towels fluffy.
10. The insides of a kettle may develop limescale.
Fill a kettle with equal parts of white vinegar and water, boil it, and leave it for an hour.
Then pour the water out. This will get rid of limescale.
