Baking Soda is a great all-purpose cleaner. For everyday bathroom cleaning, baking soda on a damp sponge can usually do the trick and for the heavy duty cleaning, baking soda mixed with a few ingredients will get the job done. Using Baking Soda in your bathroom will leave it smelling clean and looking shiny with little effort.

There are 3 ways to use baking soda, as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, directly, in a solution and a paste.

10 ways to use baking soda in your bathroom

  1. For everyday cleaning of your toilet pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into toilet bowl and let sit for 30 minutes before brushing. Then flush. For the more stubborn stains in your toilet, use an untreated steel wool pad dipped in baking soda and scrub.
  2. Fiberglass tubs an showers can be easily scratched, use a sponge and a paste made with baking soda and liquid soap; wipe on and rinse.
  3. For that stubborn ring-around-the-tub, add baking soda to your warm bath. It will help reduce the ring and also soften your skin.
  4. For grout and tile stains, use a paste made of 1 part bleach to 3 parts baking soda; wipe on and rinse. Mildew stains need a little more attention, so use a paste of baking soda and water with a toothbrush, then scrub.
  5. For marble counter tops use a paste made of baking soda and white vinegar. Sponge on the paste, rinse and buff.
  6. For ceramic tile with hard water or rust stains use a simple water and baking soda paste. With a bristle brush, scrub on and rinse.
  7. As an air freshener mix baking soda and your favorite bath salts to a small decorative dish place on the counter close to the toilet or on the tank. Change every 2-3 months.
  8. Recycle old panty hose by putting 1/2 cup of baking soda in the toe and hang on the pipes under your sink.
  9. Sprinkle baking soda at the bottom of your trash can every time your change it out.
  10. For soap scum buildup around your tub and sink use a homemade mixture (directions bellow).

Soap Scum Remover

  • 1/2 cup baking soda
