You beauty! 7 amazing ways to transform your home with bicarb soda
Last year we covered a viral cleaning video that showed a woman transforming her oven from drab to fab with a trusty pantry staple, bicarbonate soda. The hack helped thousands clean those nasty stains off their ovens without the use of toxic chemicals, and now we’re here to share seven other ways bicarb soda can be used to turn your home into a sparkling clean oasis.
1. Deep clean your mattress
Melbourne mum Chantel Mila has built quite the Instagram following thanks to her handy cleaning ideas, and recently told followers how to deep clean their mattresses using just bicarb soda and their favourite scent.
According to Mila, you should sprinkle half a cup of bicarbonate soda and four drops of the essential oil of your choice on your mattress, then leave it to sit for an hour. Once the hour’s up, simply vacuum away the bicarb to reveal a clean, fresh-smelling mattress. Mila suggests using a restful essential oil like lavender, geranium or ylang ylang to create a sense of calm in your room.
2. Carpet cleaner
As a natural deodoriser, bicarb is great for refreshing carpets rather than harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners.
