Do you feel like the kitchen is haunting you? Do you stock up on cleaners, try expensive tools and still end up spending hours removing stubborn dirt? Don't panic! There is an easy way to say goodbye to grueling cleaning marathons - and for less than €1.

Have you heard that baking soda isn't just for baking? This miracle powder is one of the most versatile products in your home. And when it comes to cleaning, the possibilities of using it are almost endless. In addition to saving you time and money, it is also an environmentally friendly solution, as it does not contain harmful chemicals.

Cleaning the kitchen with little effort and great efficiency

  1. A shiny sink
    Have you already given up on the dirt in the sink? Baking soda is great for deep cleaning and refreshing. Sprinkle baking soda on a dry surface, leave for a few minutes and wipe off. Your sink will shine like new.
  2. Removing burnt stains from the hob
    Burnt stains on the stove are every cook's nightmare. Make a paste of baking soda and a little water, apply it to the stain, leave it on for a few minutes, then wipe it off with a sponge. Baking soda will dissolve dirt without harsh scrubbing.
  3. Refreshing kitchen towels and sponges
    Sponges and cloths are quickly filled with unpleasant odors and bacteria. Fill a container with water, add a tablespoon of baking soda and leave the cloths or sponges soaked overnight. In the morning they will be as good as new - no stink.
  4. Cleaning the microwave oven
    Don't want to scrub the inside of your microwave? Add a spoonful of baking soda to a cup of water and heat it for a few minutes. The steam will soften food residues, and the soda will completely remove them.

Cleaning the bathroom with baking soda

  1. Gleaming tub and tile
    Baking soda is perfect for cleaning surfaces in the bathroom. Apply it to a damp cloth or sponge and scrub the bathtub, shower or tiles. Its abrasive texture will remove soap residue and stubborn stains.
  2. Unclogging drains
    Clogged drain? Mix half a cup of baking soda with half a cup of vinegar and pour the mixture down the drain. Rinse with hot water after a few minutes. This simple trick will get your drain flowing again without the need for chemicals.
  3. Refreshing the toilet bowl
    Sprinkle baking soda on the inside of the toilet bowl, leave on for at least 15 minutes, then scrub and flush. The result will be a shiny and refreshed shell, without the use of aggressive cleaners.
