National Bicarbonate Of Soda Day

On December 30th, the National Bicarbonate of Soda Day, or Baking Soda Day, or Baking Soda Day, recognizes a staple of the home kitchen.

"Just a spoonful of sodium bicarbonate" doesn't have the same ring to it. However, this amazing, naturally occurring substance provides health benefits when washing the house.

To make our baked goods rise, we add baking soda to recipes as a leavening agent. Baking soda reacts with other acidic ingredients to make it happen. Many of us have combined baking soda and vinegar and seen the chemical reaction. Our baked goods increase as carbon dioxide is introduced.

Bak soda's unique chemical makeup and physical characteristics make it so popular. Since it is mildly acidic when it is mixed with water, dirt, and grease, dissolving more effectively, it is less likely to fail.

Bak soda, as a mild abrasive soap, makes an excellent cleaning agent for kitchen appliances, pots, and pans. It's even recommended for chrome and the exterior of our cars.

One of baking soda's most popular features is the ability to neutralize odors. Bak soda helps our homes...and us fresh again by bringing the pH of the more acidic molecules back to a more neutral balance. Use it as a mouthwash, toothpaste, and deodorant for the mouth, feet, and underarms. Bak soda treats not only personal hygiene, but also pet and food smells.

It may also help prevent some powdery mildew or other fungal diseases on plants. Although not always be efficient, it doesn't mean bad plants are in danger when properly mixed.
