Avoid cleaning these 9 things with baking soda

5. Marble

Using baking soda on marble floors is not a good idea because it can remove the protective finish and be the cause for scratches over time.

6. Glass

Baking soda has absolutely no positive effects on glass, it can only cause a film that’s very hard to clean, smudges, and scratches. Instead, make sure to use a commercial glass cleaner or vinegar, they are both safe to use and have remarkable effects.

7. Aluminum

Baking soda may not be the ideal aluminum cleaner because it actually oxidizes it. Baking soda, if used extensively on aluminum pans and pans, may end up discoloring them. If you still want to use baking soda, then rinse the aluminum pots and pans thoroughly after using it on them.

8. Your hair

Baking soda should not be applied on the hair at all costs because it can end up damaging it (damage happens because baking soda removes natural oils causing your hair to become dry and brittle).

9. Gold plated items

Gold is considered a soft metal and baking soda is a strong abrasive, that is why you should not use it on gold plated drinkware, dishes, or utensils. Furthermore, baking soda can discolor and damage golden items.
