In her video, TikTok user Elnaz Hamai (@elnazhamai) shared that she uses baking soda to clean most of her home.
For her first tip, the TikToker recommended using the ingredient to scrub the soap scum from your bath.
“Add an equal amount of baking soda and dish soap, mix well, apply on a damp sponge, scrub, and rinse,” Elnaz explained.
She also showed her followers how to use baking soda to clean their walls.
“Remove all the scuff marks from your door and walls with baking soda and a damp sponge,” the influencer said.
Next, Elnaz explained how she uses the item to brighten up her laundry loads.
She told viewers: “For whiter brighter white towels add half a cup of baking soda to your washing machine.”
The cleaning fanatic also described how to make a baking soda solution to combat mold in your fridge.
“Mix baking soda and warm water to get a paste, then scrub and wipe and it comes off so easy,” Elnaz said.
According to the TikToker, baking soda can also be used to prevent your trash can from stinking.
“To fight trash can odors add half a can of baking soda into the coffee filter and drop it at the bottom of the trash can,” she said.
Finally, the influencer demonstrated how to freshen up your water bottle with baking soda.
She explained: “For a stinky water bottle, add about one tablespoon of baking soda and fill the rest with hot water.
“Shake well and let it sit overnight, then wash in the morning and let it dry, no more stink,” Elnaz said.
A TikTok user took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the advice.
“Great cleaning hacks using baking soda,” wrote the impressed follower.
