You would want to avoid the times when baking soda can do more harm than good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Why_not_to_use_baking_soda_on_glass_surfaces\"><\/span>#1 Why not to use baking soda on glass surfaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda is a so-called abrasive cleaner. That means that there is a big risk that using baking soda to remove a stain on glass will scratch your glass or mirror. If you want an all-natural stain remover, a better choice for glass stains is vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Be_careful_with_baking_soda_on_aluminum\"><\/span>#2 Be careful with baking soda on aluminum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use baking soda on aluminum, but if you do, it is VERY important to do a good rinse strait away. If you leave baking soda on aluminum, it will start to oxidize your pots and pans, or any other aluminum things you want to remove stains from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you leave baking soda on your aluminum pots and pans for too long, the oxidization will give it an ugly brown color. So you&#8217;ll end up with some new stains to deal with instead of getting some clean pots and pans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_How_to_make_scratches_and_leave_a_white_film_on_your_ceramic_stovetop\"><\/span>#3 How to make scratches and leave a white film on your ceramic stovetop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to scratch the ceramic glass on your stovetop, then baking soda might the solution for you. Baking soda will quickly make scratches on the stovetop, and at the same time leave a layer of white film, that can be really difficult to remove again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04-1024x717.png\" alt=\"Never use baking soda on ceramic stovetop\" class=\"wp-image-1692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04-1024x717.png 1024w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04-768x538.png 768w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04-1536x1075.png 1536w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-04.png 1931w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Baking_soda_might_damage_your_marble_surfaces\"><\/span>#4 Baking soda might damage your marble surfaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have heard about baking soda for cleaning marble floors or other marble surfaces. We recommend you stay far away from that tip because it might harm your marble floor more than you realize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda will not just remove the stains and dirt, but over time also remove the upper protective layer that marble has. When the protective layer is gone, you&#8217;ll start to &#8220;enjoy&#8221; a lot of scratches on the marble too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ruin_your_wood_furniture_with_baking_soda\"><\/span>#5 Ruin your wood furniture with baking soda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again baking soda is a great cleaner, but in the case of wood furniture, it is way to hard and might ruin your beautiful furniture. If you want to clean wood furniture we recommend that you use a solution of water and dishwashing soap instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Get_tarnish_on_your_silverware_faster\"><\/span>#6 Get tarnish on your silverware faster<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can remove tarnish from your silverware by lowering it in water with baking soda. This might be pretty counterproductive though. The baking soda is way too abrasive for the silverware, and that will lead to tarnish and patina on your silverware a lot quicker in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05-740x1024.png\" alt=\"Get tarnish on your silverware faster with baking soda\" class=\"wp-image-1693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05-740x1024.png 740w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05-217x300.png 217w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05-768x1062.png 768w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05-1110x1536.png 1110w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Baking-Soda-as-stain-remover-blog-images-05.png 1268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Remove_everything_from_skin_and_hair_including_natural_oils\"><\/span>#7 Remove everything from skin and hair, including natural oils<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use baking soda on your skin, it will neutralize your skin\u2019s regular acid levels. That means your skin will start to be dry and crack.
