5 Amazing Baking Soda Hacks All Women Should Know

Baking soda, as its name suggests, is mainly for pastry purposes.

However, here’s the thing–there are so much more uses to baking soda than just baking cakes.

For many, this is probably old news, but it still bears repeating.

Also known as sodium bicarbonate, baking soda is a natural product that has been used for ages in improving the lives of people in the most organic and eco-friendly way.

Baking soda helps regulate pH levels, to be neither too alkaline nor too acidic.

So the moment it comes in contact with an alkaline or acidic substance, it’s natural reaction is to stabilize that substance.

This natural capability then allows acidic smells to be neutralized, say, an odor coming from your fridge or other kitchen appliances.

We’ve rounded up five amazing hacks about baking soda that women should know.

1. Use as a natural deodorant
Did you know that sweat isn’t supposed to be smelly?

Yep, as unbelievable as it sounds but it’s the truth. Sweat only becomes smelly when it mixes with the bacteria in the skin.

To fix this, you can go the natural, DIY way by using a baking soda.

Make a paste out of baking soda and water then apply them under your arms.

It’s a great way to combat body order, not to mention, a super easy, harmless, and cheap way of staying fresh all day long.

2. Whitens your teeth
Say cheese! People smile confidently when they have a set of teeth that deserves bragging.

But what if yours have become stained due to your eating habits? Will you still be smiling wide?

I don’t think so. Thankfully, baking soda got your back on this one.

With its abrasive texture, sodium bicarbonate effectively clears teeth stans and makes them look whiter.

You can add a pinch of baking soda to your wet toothbrush and brush it like it’s toothpaste.

Don’t worry, you’d be smiling broadly and confidently in no time.

Then soak your combs and brushes on the solution.

Well, surprise, surprise, because again, baking soda is the answer to this dilemma.

Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda in your palm and put it on your shampoo.

Let it stay on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it thoroughly.

Following this routine regularly will make your hair look shinier and more voluminous.
