baking soda- what and why?
Baking soda, aka sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, is a chemical compound that is not only safe to eat but effective to use in the best house cleaning. It provides mild abrasion, can be used a a deoderizer, whitener, and even a laundry booster. (Clean My Space, Maker) Not only is it widely available, it is also incredibly economical too!
Here at Promise Cleaining, the best cleanig service near me, we have learned so much from cleaning guru Melissa Maker's book "Clean My Space", that this article is sharing her knowlege on its many uses and has informed every part of our article.
So lets dive into some useful appications for this incredible cleaning helper. Promise Cleaning, the best cleaning serice near me, uses mild, yet strong cleanser called Pro Scrub while cleaning inside toilets, sinks, tubs and showers.
walls- eraser sponge subsitiute
On a damp cloth, sprinkle some baking soda and use gently to remove marks on walls, then wipe the wall clean with a damp cloth. You want to be gentle when rubbing the wall so as not to remove the paint and cause new parks on wall. Some marks may need multiple cleanings or a more effective cleanser. (Clean My Space, Maker)
Eraser sponges are basically low grade sandpaper, using mild abrasion to remove wall marks. Baking soda on a damp cloth can provide you with the same type of abrasion, and for just a few pennies.
Here at Promise Cleaning, the best house cleaning near me, we check the walls to see if there are marks that can be removed and make an effort to do so.
carpets- deoderizer and cleanser
Sprinkle onto carpets and allow to sit for up to 30 minutes. The baking soda will absorb strange odors and lift up dirt, making it easy for you by just using the vacuum to remove it. (Clean My Space, Maker)
Why does baking soda absorb odors? It is because it is ph basic and most odors are ph acidic. When an acidic substance comes in contact with a basic substance, they gether together ona molecular level or "ADSORB", leading to ph neutral salts which is why the odor is gone.
We at Promise Cleaning, the top rated cleaning company near me, use odorless cleaners while cleaning your home.
Trash cans- deoderizer
The same can be said for trash cans and recylce bins- baking soda acts as deoderizer. Sprinkle baking soda in the smelly bin or trash can. Leave for 20 minutes, then wip clean with a damp paper towel or cleanser wipe. Again, becase of science, the odor will be gone! (Clean My Space, Maker)

kitchen- remove caked-on food
Here at Promise Cleaining, the best cleanig service near me, we have learned so much for cleaning guru Melissa Maker's book "Clean My Space", that we would love to share her simple dyi recipe she uses in the kitchen on pags 38-39.
DIY Cleansing Paste:
"Use equal parts dish soap and baking soda, then add a few sprinkles of water until it's got a nice, pudding-like consistency. Apply witha damp, soft sponge and let sit on the surface for about 20 minutes, then wipe off (easily!) with a wet sponge. Rinse well and buff dry with a cloth." (Clean My Space, pg. 38-39, Maker)
Here at Promise Cleaning, the best cleaning company near me, we save time by using ProScrub, an effecive cleansing paste to remove build-up on oven doors and cooktops. Using professional cleanig products allows us to provide our clients with same great results with less dwell time needed for product to work. We also save our clients time by offering them maintenance cleaning, not daily cleaning which would include dishwashing. However if the dishwasher can not get it out, this recipe is a great way for clients to remove stuck on food off dishes.
Sinks- stain remover
Sprinkle baking soda on sink and buff with soapy sponge and hot water. Rinse sink, they use a dry towel to leave a high-polished, "good as new" shine! (Clean My Space, Maker)
