 Bicarbonate of soda is a mineral salt, first discovered in 1801. A food-safe ingredient, in the early 1800s, it was commonly used by fishermen as a preservative, to prevent freshly caught fish from going off. Whilst, in 1846 its usage became widespread in baking, before becoming well known as a cleaning product.

Bicarbonate of soda is chemically a base. Bases react with oils and fats and dissolve them. This means that bicarbonate of soda will tickle dirt, grease, oil, and fats around the home with ease.

As bicarbonate of soda is also a salt, it has mild abrasive properties. This means it provides a gentle scrubbing action, without leaving any scratches behind.

What’s more, bicarbonate of soda can tackle bad smells by neutralising or reducing bad odours around your home. From your fridge to your carpet or rug, to your shoes, and everywhere in-between. This is because the bicarbonate of soda reacts with the acidic molecules responsible for bad odours, and neutralises them.
