Whip out that baking soda. Here are 10 brilliant ways to get your house super clean

To polish silverware, line a baking dish with aluminum foil and place the tarnished items on top. Sprinkle baking soda over the silverware, then pour boiling water over everything until the items are submerged. The chemical reaction between the baking soda, aluminum foil, and hot water will remove tarnish from the silverware. After a few minutes, remove the items, rinse them with water, and dry them with a soft cloth. Your silverware will be restored to its original shine.

To clean and deodorize your refrigerator, mix a solution of baking soda and water. Use a sponge or cloth to wipe down the interior surfaces, including shelves and drawers. Baking soda will help remove food residues and neutralize any lingering odors. For ongoing odor control, keep an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator to absorb smells over time. Replace the box every three months for best results.
