Shiny Clean Silverware
Cutlery is often subject to discoloration. Even genuine silver can tarnish if not properly kept. There is however no need to replace your knives and forks every time they start looking a bit spent. A nice soak in hot water and bicarb will have your cutlery and cooking utensils looking good like new, with the added benefit of bicarb’s natural disinfectant power.
Sparkling White Teeth
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth three times per day for a minimum period of two minutes. Realistically very few of us find the time to adhere to this rule. It does not matter how frequently you brush in terms of the sanitation of your toothbrush, however. The human mouth contains significantly more bacteria than that of dogs. This is food for thought when it comes to keeping your toothbrush clean. A prudent measure is to soak your dental hygiene tools in a cup of hot water with a tablespoon of bicarb once a day, ensuring your dental cleaning kit is clean for service.
