Bicarb soda is a mild alkaline cleaner that works differently to stronger ingredients like washing soda. It’s best used for deodorising, light cleaning, and situations where you want something effective but gentle.
It absorbs odours, helps loosen dirt, and adds a soft abrasive texture that improves cleaning without damaging surfaces.
This makes it a go-to for everyday jobs where stronger products aren’t needed.
