Η baking soda has proven to be a lifesaver and miracle worker for most household chores and one of them concerns him hood and its cleaning.
So, if you have a metal filter, then boil water and slowly add baking soda and be sure that the result will leave you speechless.
Put baking soda in boiling water and leave it for a few minutes
First, boil the water with the soda. Then put the filter in and wait for the fats to dissolve.
Then put in the other… half of the filter and you will see significant results. If you still have a carbon or fiberglass filter, it's a good idea to change it every 4 and 2 months, respectively, and you can use baking soda to keep your clothes smelling good.
Items that baking soda should not go near
Aluminum cookware
While you can use baking soda in cleaning metal surfaces you are not allowed to do the same if your utensils are aluminum. If you use it very quickly and wash it off immediately then you may not have a problem, but if you leave it on your dish for too long it will discolour it.
Silver-antiques
Although baking soda on some aluminum foil can polish your silverware, some claim that the abrasive action of the baking soda can ruin the silverware's finish.
Marble surfaces
Some may have told you that cleaning marble with baking soda is something you can do, but stone manufacturers claim otherwise. Repeated use of baking soda can eventually damage your marble.
Gilded objects
Your house may not be full of gold objects but if you are one of those people who have a gold plated serving tray then you should definitely not clean it with baking soda. Gold is a soft metal and can easily be etched even with a little baking soda.
