Baking soda offers low‑cost solutions for gardening and home cleaning

Baking soda, a pantry staple costing less than €2, can be used as an antifungal, repellent and cleaning agent for garden plants, helping gardeners protect and nurture their crops without chemicals.

When mixed with used coffee grounds, the powder forms an abrasive paste that cuts grease and stains on kitchen surfaces. The combination provides a cheap, non‑toxic alternative to commercial cleaners, reducing household waste and exposure to harsh chemicals while saving money for families.
