My Top Bicarbonate Hacks

✨ Fresh Carpets & Mattresses

Doesn’t just mask odours but absorb them to! Sprinkle a light layer over your rugs or mattress, leave for at least 30 minutes, then vacuum away. It’s a total game-changer for homes with pets or little ones!

✨ Plughole & Drain Refresh

Pour a generous scoop down the plughole followed by a kettle-full of boiling water. The bicarbonate helps neutralise nasty drain smells and breaks down greasy residue.

✨ The Fridge Odour Absorber

Pop a small open bowl of bicarbonate in the back of your fridge. It discreetly soaks up lingering smells without perfumes. Wipe surrounding surfaces with a microfibre cloth for extra shine.

✨ Brighten Your Grout

Mix 3 parts bicarbonate with 1 part water to make a thick paste. Scrub into grout lines using a stiff brush to lift grime. Always wear cleaning gloves to keep your hands protected!

✨ Trainer & Gym Bag Revive

Stop smelly shoes in their tracks! Sprinkle bicarbonate inside your trainers overnight and shake out the excess in the morning. This simple habit serves to professionally deodorise your kit instantly.
