Bicarbonate of Soda

Bicarbonate of Soda (AKA Sodium Bicardonate or Baking Soda) is an essential ingredient in any eco cleaner's kit bag. I decant mine into a Kilner jar to prevent it getting damp (and to make it look prettier). Here are my top 5 uses:

1. Carpet Cleaning - sprinkle onto your carpet and leave for 40 minutes before vacuuming to refresh your carpets
2. Tile Cleaner - mix with water and use on kitchen or bathroom tiles to scour away dirt and grease
3. Sink Freshner - pour a large spoonful down the sink and then follow with a cupful of boiling water to keep drains fresh
4. Stain Remover - to clean tea-stained cups fill with a mixture of bicarb and water and leave to stand.
5. And Relax.....after all that cleaning sprinkle into your bath to make your skin lovely and soft.
