The oven is an appliance that is quite difficult to clean. Damp spots and burns that are hard to remove, it is worth treating with a paste made of baking soda and water.

Few people remember that it’s a good idea to clean the dishwasher at least once a month. This can be done using baking soda. Just pour a few tablespoons of baking soda inside the dishwasher and turn on a short program with high water temperature. You can also pour some vinegar in there beforehand. However, it is important not to combine baking soda and vinegar at the same time, because the whole thing will foam a lot.
