Isoda yokubhaga mhlamunye mhlobo ohlukahlukeneko khulu ephandlini lakho. Eyaziwa nangokuthi yi-sodium bicarbonate, i-baking soda yi-alkaline compound, lokha nayihlanganiswa ne-esidi (njengeviniga, ijuzi yelemoni, nofana ibhotela), ikhiqiza amabhamuza amancani we-carbon dioxide gas, elungele ukuvuba ama-muffin, ama-bread, nama-cookie ukwenza bona abe buthakathaka begodu abe nomoya.
Kodwana ukusetjenziswa kwayo kudlula ukubhaka amakhekhe namakhekhe esiwathandako. Ukuthungwa kwe-baking soda kwemvelo kanye namakhemikhali kwenza bona ilungele ukuhlanza ikhaya, khulukhulu nakuziwa ekukhuhleni ukusilaphazeka, ukususa amaphunga, nokususa amabala aqinileko. "Isoda yokubhaga yindlela yokuhlanza engalimazi ibhoduluko," kutjho u-Marla Mock, umongameli we-Molly Maid. “Iphinde ibe mtjhini wokuhlwengisa ongakghona ukwenza imisebenzi ehlukahlukeneko yokuhlwengisa.”
Sikhulume neengcwethi zokuhlanza ukuthola amathiphu wabo amahle wokusebenzisa i-baking soda ukuhlanza ikhaya lakho.
Amathini wesilahla ngokwemvelo akhula iphunga ngokukhamba kwesikhathi. Kodwana, ungasusa amaphunga ngokufafaza isoda yokubhaga ngaphakathi. "Ungayihlanganisa namanzi bese uyisebenzisa njengesifutho ukuhlanza nokususa amaphunga ngaphakathi," kutjho u-Alicia Sokolowski, umongameli no-co-CEO we-Aspen Clean.
Isoda yokubhaga iyisisusa esisebenzako sokuhlanza nokususa amabala, begodu kesinye isikhathi akukho okunzima ukudlula ukususa amabala wekhofi netiye eenkomitjhini zethu ezithandwako zeseramikhi. Fafaza isoda yokubhaga ngaphakathi kwekomitjhini bese ukhuhla ngesiponji esimanzi, kutjho u-Sokolowski.
Amagreyidi we-oveni angaguga. Amafutha, amafutha, imvuthuluka, nokunye kunganamathela lula kiwo lokha nawupheka. "Thambisa amagreyidi ngaphakathi kwe-baking soda namanzi atjhisako," kutjho u-Sokolowski. "Ngemva kwama-awa ambalwa, zihlikihle ngebhrashi."
Ngokuvamileko, kufanele ukhandele ukuhlanganisa i-baking soda nama-esidi afana neviniga ngombana angadala amabhamuza angabanga ukutjhisa. Kodwana lokha idreyini ivaleleke khulu, ukusabela lokhu kungaba lisizo. Thela isigamu sekopi ye-baking soda phasi emseleni, bese uthela isigamu sekopi yeviniga emhlophe. Vala umsele bese uwuyekela uhlale isikhathi esingaba mizuzu ema-30. "Bese usebenzisa amanzi atjhisako ukuhlanza iimvuthuluka," kutjho u-Sokolowski.
Iimfanelo zemvelo ze-baking soda zenza bona ibe sihlanzi esihle se-grout. Ungenza i-paste ye-baking soda namanzi bese uyifaka e-grout emnyama, bese uyihlikihla ngebhrashi yamazinyo.
Iye, ungasebenzisa isisetjenziswa esikhethekileko sokuhlanza ithoyilethi ukuhlanza ithoyilethi yakho, kodwana indlela yemvelo nengalimazi ibhoduluko yokususa amabala nokugcina ithoyilethi yakho ihlanzekile kusebenzisa isoda yokubhaga. Fafaza isoda yokubhaga ngaphakathi kwethoyilethi, uyiyekele ihlale isikhatjhana, bese uyihlikihla ngebhrashi yethoyilethi.
Ukuhlanza izambatho nge-baking soda yindlela elula nephumelelako yokususa amabala aqinileko ezambathweni. "Thambisa isambatho emanzini atjhisako kanye ne-baking soda ama-awa ambalwa nofana ubusuku boke," kutjho u-Sokolowski.
Phezu kwalokho, ungakhuphula amandla wokuhlanza wesisetjenziswa sakho sokuhlanza ngokufaka i-baking soda ehlelweni lakho lokuhlanza. "Ukufaka i-baking soda ehlelweni lakho lokuhlanza kungasiza ukususa amaphunga nokwenza okumhlophe kube mhlophe," kutjho u-Dyers.
Ukusetjenziswa kwe-baking soda ukuhlanza iingubo kudlula ukuhlanza izambatho—ingahlanza kuhle umtjhini wakho wokuhlanza. "Sebenzisa i-baking soda ngesikhathi sokungabi nalutho ukuhlanza isigubhu nokususa amaphunga," kutjho u-Sokolowski.
Sebenzisa isoda yokubhaga ukukhuhla iinsalela ezitjhisiweko. "Isoda yokubhaga ilungele ukuhlanza ama-oveni, amabhodo namapani, nezinye izinto zasekhishini," kutjho u-Dyers. "Yenza i-paste nge-baking soda namanzi bese uyigcoba esitjeni sokupheka. Yiyekele ihlale phezu kweensetjenziswa zokupheka imizuzu eli-15 ukuya kwema-30 ngaphambi kokukhuhla okuseleko."
Iminyango yeshawa ithambekele ekubeni ne-limescale kanye namaminerali. Sebenzisa umruburuzo weviniga nesoda yokubhaga ukwenza iminyango yeshawa yakho ikhanye godu. U-Tommy Patterson, umnqophisi wokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo omutjha nokubandulwa kwezobuchwepheshe e-Glass Doctor, inkampani eseduze, uphakamisa bona kuthome ukuthambisa ithawula lephepha ngeviniga emhlophe etjhisako bese ulifaka emnyango nethrekhi. Bese uyiyekela ihlale isikhathi esingaba mizuzu ema-30 ukuya kwema-60. "Ubujamo obuncani beviniga buvumela bona ingene begodu ikhulule amaminerali," uyatjho. Bese usula umnyango ngendwangu emanzi nofana isiponji esifakwe ngaphakathi kwe-baking soda. U-Patterson uthi: “Ungakhuhli khulu ngombana uzokurhurhula.”
Ekugcineni, hlambulula umnyango ngamanzi ahlanjululweko ukususa iviniga nesoda yokubhaga. "Nangabe i-limescale isele, buyisela ukuhlanza i-baking soda bekube kulapho zoke iinsalela zisuswe," uyatjho.
Sebenzisa izakhiwo zokususa iphunga le-baking soda ukuhlanza ikhaphethe lakho. Fafaza isoda yokubhaga ekhaphetheni lakho, uyiyekele ihlale imizuzu embalwa, bese uyayihlanza.
Ukuhlanza umatilasi wakho kuqakathekile epilweni yakho (phela, uchitha isikhathi esinengi kiwo). Fafaza i-baking soda ematrasini wakho bese uyiyekela ihlale imizuzu embalwa ngaphambi kokuyihlanza ukususa amaphunga ematrasini wakho. Nofana, nangabe udinga ukususa amabala, hlanganisa iviniga nesoda yokubhaga. Fafaza iviniga phezu kwebala qangi, bese ufafaza isoda yokubhaga phezulu. Yivale ngethawula bese uyiyekela ihlale ama-awa ambalwa ngaphambi kokuyihlanza.
Fafaza i-baking soda eencathulweni zakho ukususa iphunga elimbi. Khumbula ukufafaza isoda ngaphambi kokufaka amanyathelo wakho.
Iindawo zokupheka zingasilaphazeka nangabe zivaleleke ngokudla nofana amafutha. Ukuhlwengisa indawo yokupheka nge-paste ye-baking soda namanzi kungasusa ukusilaphazeka begodu kubuyisele indawo yokupheka ebujameni bayo obuhlanzekileko. Kodwana khumbula bona amanye ama-cooktop, afana nalawo anengilazi ebushelelezi, aklwebheka lula. Sebenzisa umhlobo ohlukileko wokuhlanza.
Ukugcina ibhodi lokusika lamaplanka lisebujameni obuhle kutlhoga ukutjheja okuthileko. Ungahlanza ibhodi lakho lokusika ngokulisula ngesigamu selamula nesoda encani yokubhaga. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukukhanyisa amabala nokususa nanyana ngimiphi iphunga eliseleko.
Ukuqeda amaphunga esiqandisini sakho, akutlhogeki bona ukhuphe isoda yokubhaga ephaketheni. Inengi lamabhokisi we-baking soda aza namaphaneli we-mesh akuvumela bona ukhuphe isivalo sebhokisi lephepha ukuveza amahlangothi we-mesh. Faka enye efrijini bese uyiyekela isebenze umlingo wayo wokususa iphunga.
Sebenzisa i-baking soda ukuhlanza amasinki we-stainless steel, izinto zokusebenza, kanye nezinto zokusebenza ukwenza bona zibonakale njengezintsha. Ngezinki: Fafaza inani elinengi le-baking soda ngaphakathi kwesinki, bese uhlikihla amabala nokungcola ngendwangu emanzi ye-microfiber nofana isiponji, bese ugeza ngamanzi abandako. Eensetjenzisweni ezifana namapompi, thoma ngokufafaza isoda yokubhaga phezu kwendwangu emanzi bese usula ngobumnene insimbi engagqwali ukuze ihlanzeke begodu icwebezela.
Indlela yemvelo nengalimazi ibhoduluko yokubuyisela ukucwebezela kwemvelo kwesiliva kukwenza i-paste ye-baking soda namanzi. Thambisa isiliva nge-baking soda bese uyiyekela ihlale imizuzu embalwa (kufikela emizuzwini eli-10 ngesiliva engcolile khulu). Bese uhlanza ngamanzi apholileko bese uhlanza ngendwangu.
Okuhlukileko kukuthi isiliva yakho sele i-oksijini begodu yakha i-patina begodu ufuna ukuyilondoloza. "I-baking soda ingasusa i-patina kwezinye izinto zesiliva, ezifana nobucwebe nofana izinto zokuhlobisa," kutjho u-Sokolowski. “Kungcono ukusebenzisa isihlanzi sesiliva nofana ilembu lokupholisa ukugcina i-patina oyifunako esiliva yakho.”
Akusiyo imfihlo bona iintjalo zokugcina ukudla zingaba nebala ngemva kokusetjenziswa kanengi, njengokugcina iinthako ezifana nesosi ebomvu. Nangabe ukuhlanza emtjhini wokuhlamba iintjalo akwanele, fafaza isoda yokubhaga namanzi ngaphakathi kwesitja bese uyiyekela ihlale ubusuku boke. Hlikihla isoda yokubhaga ekuseni ngakusasa begodu uthokozele isitja sakho esitjha, esingenamabala.
Tjheja lokha nawusebenzisa i-baking soda, nanyana kunjalo, ngombana ubujamo bayo bokuhlaba kwenza bona ingafaneleki ukuhlanza yoke into ekhaya. "I-baking soda yinto ehlabako, njeke ayikafaneli ukuhlanza iindawo zengilazi ezifana nezibuko nofana amafasidera, ezinye iindawo eziphakemeko, nofana ifenitjhara/amaphansi weplanka eqediweko," kutjho u-Mock. Akukafaneli bona uyisebenzise eensetjenzisweni zokupheka ze-aluminiyamu, ematjeni wemvelo, ezintweni ezifakwe igolide, eensetjenzisweni ze-elekthronikhi, nofana ematjeni aligugu afana namaparele nama-opal.
"Balekela ukuhlanza iindawo eziklwebheka lula, njenge-aluminium nofana imabula," kutjho u-Dyers. I-baking soda nayo ingahlangana nezinye izinto, ezifana ne-aluminium, okubangele ukutjhuguluka kombala.
Kuliqiniso, ufuna ukuphepha lokha nawusebenzisa isoda yokubhaga ukuhlanza ikhaya lakho nendawo eziseduze, yeke qiniseka bona awuhlanganisi isoda yokubhaga nemikhiqizo elandelako.
Kwezinye izehlakalo, ukuhlanganisa izinto lezi kwenza bona i-baking soda ingasebenzi kuhle. Lokhu kwenzeka, ngokwesibonelo, lokha nayihlanganiswa notshwala. Kodwana kezinye izehlakalo, ukusabela kwamakhemikhali okulimazako kungenzeka. I-oksijini neminye imimoya enobuthi ingakhutjhwa lokha i-baking soda nayihlanganiswa ne-hydrogen peroxide, i-ammonia, i-chlorine bleach, nofana iinsetjenziswa zokuhlwengisa ngamakhemikhali esitjeni esivaliweko.
Esikhathini esinengi, ukuhlanganisa amanzi nge-baking soda kuzokuzuza imiphumela yokuhlanza efunwako.
