Sodium bicarbonate removes grease from all these areas – the only way to work is to prepare it like this!

Ah yes! Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is a natural, versatile cleaner, but its power depends on how you prepare and use it. Here’s the safe and effective way to use it for grease removal 🧽✨

🧴 Why Baking Soda Works

• Mild abrasive → scrubs without scratching surfaces
• Alkaline → helps break down grease, oils, and grime
• Non-toxic and eco-friendly

🏡 Areas You Can Clean With Baking Soda

1. Kitchen Countertops & Stovetops
   • Prepares a paste with water: 3 parts baking soda : 1 part water
   • Apply to greasy spots, let sit 5–10 min, scrub gently, then rinse
2. Oven & Microwave
   • Sprinkle paste over greasy areas
   • Let it sit 15–20 minutes
   • Wipe with a damp cloth; stubborn spots may need gentle scrubbing
3. Cookware (Pans, Pots)
   • Add 2 tbsp baking soda + small amount of water to cover burnt grease
   • Heat gently for 5 minutes, cool, scrub with a sponge
4. Sinks & Drains
   • Sprinkle baking soda, then pour vinegar over it for foaming action
   • Rinse with hot water → removes grease and deodorizes
5. Refrigerator Shelves
   • Wipe with a baking soda paste
   • Removes old food grease and neutralizes odors

⚡ Preparation Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

1. Paste Method: Baking soda + a small amount of water until spreadable
2. Sprinkle + Vinegar: For drains or tough grease, the fizz helps lift grime
3. Apply & Sit: Let paste sit 5–20 minutes depending on grease thickness
4. Gentle Scrub: Use a sponge or soft brush; avoid metal scouring pads on delicate surfaces
