3 Eco-Cleaning Kitchen Uses For Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the best friends a Green cleaner can have! It has so many uses and is all natural and safe. Plus it's really very economically friendly too, often times under $1 a box. Here are 5 of my favorite uses for it.

1) Kitchen Scrubber - Baking soda is great for safely scrubbing stuck-on grease all over the kitchen. All you do is sprinkle a little over the spot then gently rub with a wet wash cloth or sponge and the grease will come right up.

2) Plastic Container Freshener - After a while reusable plastic containers smell a little funky and that stink can leach into your food. So we end up tossing them out. Not anymore! Simply pour some baking soda in the container, cover and leave overnight. In the morning just use a wet sponge to wipe the container then wash and the stink will be gone.

3) Stuck On Food - After letting food sit on a plate or after baking in a dish, food can become stuck and the sponge just is not cutting it. Sprinkle a little bit of baking soda over the stuck on food then gently scrub with a sponge or wet washcloth and it should come off without ruining your dish.
