If you find that your clothes aren’t smelling good when they come out of the washing machine, it might be time to clean the machine itself. Nowadays, washing machines need to be cleaned more often than you think, especially if you have a front-loading model. Luckily, baking soda is the perfect natural cleanser for the inside of the machine. Start a large, hot load with no clothing in your washer and add baking soda and vinegar to get rid of any buildup and smelly mold.

According to medical sources, a study found that baking soda has antifungal properties. It helped inhibit fungal growth in a variety of human skin and nail infections. It’s recommended to apply a baking soda paste to treat fungal infections on your feet or between your toes. Simply add one tablespoon to a bit of lukewarm water. Then, rub the paste on your infection before rinsing it off and drying it well. To top it off, apply some baby powder afterward to keep your feet free of any moisture.
