đź’ĄBaking soda is better than baking powder for cleaning.
✴️ Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a pure, natural substance that works as a gentle abrasive and a powerful deodorizer. It helps scrub away stains, neutralizes odors, and can break down grease and grime. It’s commonly used to clean sinks, countertops, ovens, and even freshen up carpets and drains.
✴️ Baking powder, on the other hand, is made from baking soda plus cream of tartar (an acid) and a starch. It’s meant for baking and doesn’t have the same cleaning power. The added ingredients in baking powder dilute its effectiveness as a cleaner.
