Baking soda removes grease from all these areas—the only way to do it is to prepare it this way!

1. The Power Paste (For Ovens, Stovetops, and Grill Grates)

• Best for: Baked-on grease, burnt food, and heavy stovetop buildup.
• How to prepare:
  • Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water in a small bowl until it forms a thick, spreadable paste (similar to toothpaste).
• How to use:
  • Spread the paste generously over greasy or burnt surfaces.
  • Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes (or overnight for tough, baked-on oven grease).
  • Scrub gently with a non-scratch sponge or microfiber cloth, then wipe clean with warm water.

2. The Fizz Treatment (For Greasy Pots, Pans, and Bakeware)

• Best for: Greasy cookware and stainless steel pans with oily residues.
• How to prepare:
  • Sprinkle a heavy layer of dry baking soda directly onto the greasy pan, then add a few drops of dish soap.
• How to use:
  • Pour hot water over the mixture until the pan is submerged. Let it fizz and soak for 30 to 60 minutes. The combination cuts through lipids while the baking soda lifts the residue without scratching.
  • Wash normally with a sponge and rinse.

3. The Spray & Wipe Solution (For Kitchen Cabinets, Backsplashes, and Countertops)

• Best for: Light everyday grease film on cabinets and walls.
• How to prepare:
  • Dissolve 2 tablespoons of baking soda into a spray bottle filled with 2 cups of warm water. Add a tiny drop of dish soap if the grease is stubborn.
• How to use:
  • Spray lightly onto the greasy surface, let it sit for a minute to break down the oils, and wipe down immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Dry with a towel to prevent water spots.

4. The Dry Absorption Method (For Fabrics, Carpets, and Upholstery)

• Best for: Oil or butter spills on upholstery, rugs, or clothing.
• How to prepare:
  • No liquid needed—use pure, dry baking soda.
• How to use:
  • Blot up as much excess liquid oil as possible with a paper towel.
  • Cover the remaining stain generously with baking soda and let it sit for 15–30 minutes to absorb the oil.
  • Vacuum up the powder or brush it away. For clothing, wash as usual afterward.

Quick Tip: Never mix baking soda with vinegar in a closed container (the fizzing reaction creates pressure), but combining them on a surface creates an active bubbling action that helps loosen stubborn grime!
