Frequently Asked Questions:
Is it safe to use this mixture on my skin? Yes, when used in moderation and with caution, this combination can exfoliate and cleanse your skin. However, it’s important not to overdo it since baking soda can be abrasive. Always test on a small area of skin first to avoid irritation.
Can I use this for all cleaning purposes? While it’s great for most surfaces, avoid using it on delicate materials like marble or granite, as the abrasive nature of baking soda can cause scratches.
What if I don’t have liquid soap? If you don’t have liquid soap on hand, you can substitute with bar soap—just create a lather and mix with the baking soda for the paste.
