Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is a powerful natural cleaner that can remove grease and stubborn stains from many surfaces in the kitchen and home. The secret is how you prepare and apply it.
Here is the most effective way to prepare it and use it:
🧴 Grease-Removing Baking Soda Paste
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
- 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- Optional: a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar
Preparation
- Put the baking soda in a small bowl.
- Add dish soap and warm water.
- Mix until it becomes a thick paste.
- Add a little lemon or vinegar if you want stronger grease-cutting power.
🧽 How to Use It
Apply the paste to greasy areas such as:
- Kitchen stove and burners
- Oven doors
- Range hood filters
- Pots and pans
- Tiles and grout
- Sink and countertops
Steps
- Spread the paste on the greasy area.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a sponge or brush.
- Rinse with warm water and wipe clean.
✨ Why It Works
- Baking soda is mildly alkaline, which helps break down grease and oil.
- It is also a gentle abrasive, so it removes stuck-on grime without damaging most surfaces.
💡 Extra Tip:
For very greasy oven racks or hood filters, sprinkle baking soda over them and spray hot vinegar, let it foam for 20 minutes, then scrub and rinse.
