7. Reduce Smells in the Fridge and Freezer
This one is simple and helpful in keeping the fridge and freezer odorless. Place sodium bicarbonate into a small, wide-mouth glass jar or container and place it in the fridge and/or freezer for up to three months to eliminate odors. If desired, set multiple containers throughout the fridge where you tend to store smellier foods. The baking soda will absorb strong, lingering odors and help maintain a neutral smell throughout your appliance.
8. Clean a Stainless-Steel Sink
Every now and then your stainless-steel sink deserves a good cleaning to keep it shining and smelling good. Grab a lemon, cut it in half, and pour a small amount of sodium bicarbonate on the cut side of one lemon half. Use the lemon as if it were a sponge, scrubbing down and cleaning the sink. Another option is to make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice and add the mixture to a sponge or cloth to clean the sink.
9. Maintain Your Stovetop
The stovetop is one of those surfaces that quickly gets dirty and grimy when you cook frequently. Shake baking soda over the stovetop and then spray with white vinegar and watch it fizz and foam. Allow it to sit for five minutes and then gently scrub with a damp sponge. Wipe the surface down with a cloth or pass over it again with a clean sponge and you’ll notice a sparkling difference.
