Just Put Cloves in Baking Soda and You Don’t Need to Spend Money at the Store (Did You Know That?)
In a world full of expensive store-bought air fresheners, odor neutralizers, and cleaning products, sometimes the most effective solutions are sitting right in your pantry. One such powerful and little-known combo? Cloves and baking soda.
It might sound simple—because it is! But combining these two humble ingredients creates a natural deodorizer, insect repellent, and air freshener all in one. And the best part? You probably already have both at home.
Let’s dive into how this natural trick works, and why it can save you money while keeping your home fresh and clean.
🌿 Why Cloves and Baking Soda Work So Well Together
- Baking soda is a natural odor absorber. It neutralizes smells rather than just covering them up.
- Cloves have a strong, warm, spicy scent and contain natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. They’re also a natural insect repellent—mice, moths, and even ants hate the smell!
Together, they form a dynamic duo that keeps your home smelling fresh, clean, and pest-free—without any chemicals.
