Clean Your Grill
Barbecue lovers, this one’s for you. Grills add a lot of culinary options and usually see a lot of use during the warmer months. (4th of July picnic, anyone?)
If your grill has seen a lot of action lately and has some residue on the grates, just grab some baking soda and a damp brush. After a little scrubbing and a quick rinse, your grill should be all set for the next use.
Relieve Dandruff
Dandruff is a common and, at times, difficult scalp condition to treat. If you have tried just about everything with no relief, baking soda could be your answer.
Add a tablespoon of baking soda to your shampoo and massage it into your scalp for a few minutes. After continuing this in-shower treatment for one to two weeks, you should notice that your dandruff has disappeared.
Disinfect Your Hairbrush
Most people don't know it, but just like your toothbrush, your hairbrush also needs to be disinfected regularly. And the almighty baking soda can help here as well.
Grab your brush and simply soak it in a mixture of one teaspoon of baking soda and a small amount of warm water. Then, after allowing it to sit for a few minutes, give it a rinse. Once it's dry, it should be ready to use again.
Shine Your Floors
The surface that gets the most use in your home might be your floor. And with wood and tile floors, they can begin to lose their shine after a while. Of course, you can try professional floor cleaning, but those can be very expensive. This is, again, where baking soda comes in handy.
Dissolve 100 grams of baking soda in a bucket of warm water. Next, mop the floor with this mixture and mop once more with plain water to rinse it. The shine in your newly restored floors will thank you.
Make Appliances Perform Better
Appliances that see a lot of use, like dishwashers and coffeemakers, can develop unpleasant smells and grime that hinder their functioning.
To make them look better, smell better, and function better, run an empty cycle with just baking soda and water inside. The residue that has built up should disappear, and you should notice them performing better, too.
