With its cleaning and odour-neutralizing properties, bicarbonate of soda is a great way to keep your bathroom clean without having to use unnecessary chemicals. Here are simple and practical tips on how to use bicarbonate of soda to freshen up everything from sinks and toilets to tiles and shower curtains.
