But did you know that there&#8217;s plenty of other uses for this natural mineral? For instance, baking soda is great for London home cleaning purposes and medicinal purposes.<\/p>\n<h3>Odours<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Animals<\/strong><br \/>\nAs any pet owner knows, cleaning your pet regularly can be a difficult and messy task. To keep your pet smelling fresh between washes, try sprinkling baking soda on a wet dog and brushing it out to reduce odour. You can also add baking soda to kitty litter to get rid of odours in a flash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carpet and rugs<\/strong><br \/>\nGot a musty smelling carpet or rug that you don&#8217;t have time to wash or dry clean? Dust a little bit of baking soda on top and leave for 15 minutes.\u00a0Give it a vacuum after and repeat if the smell hasn&#8217;t gone away.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Kid\u2019s items<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Baby furniture<\/strong><br \/>\nHarsh chemicals should always be kept away from the baby\u2019s room. However, you can use 2 tbsp of baking soda mixed into 200ml water to wash the bassinet, changing table and other items safely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toys <\/strong><br \/>\nAs illnesses spread so easily amongst children, cleaning toys after play dates is a must to kill any lingering bacteria. To do this, place a 2 tbsp baking soda into a half-filled bucket of warm water. Place the toys in the bucket for 10 minutes, and then rinse with clean water and leave to dry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.co.uk\/cleaning\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/cleaning-kids-toys.jpg\" alt=\"Toys on the carpet\" width=\"700\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/24065701\/cleaning-kids-toys.jpg 700w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/24065701\/cleaning-kids-toys-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>Laundry<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fabric softener<\/strong><br \/>\nTo make your towels all soft and fluffy, simply add 4 tbsp baking soda to the rinse cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boost bleach<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing too much bleach can have a negative impact on your health and the environment. By combining baking soda with bleach, you can cut down your bleach usage and be more environmentally friendly. Just add 2 tbsp of baking soda for each 100ml of bleach used.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Outdoors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Furniture<\/strong><br \/>\nWith outside furniture exposed to the weather, a quick wipe down with a\u00a0 cup of baking soda and some warm water can be really effective for cleaning furniture.
