I recently discovered that the world's best cleaning product is something that almost all households already have: Baking Soda. It's cheap, it's easy to use, it's readily available, and it really works. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, it helps battle odors too!

It works really good on surfaces that have dirt or grime "caked" on. On these surfaces it's often difficult to wipe the dirt off with a soft rag or sponge. You need something stronger. Here's what I do to clean my stainless steel kitchen sink which tends to get pretty grimy and dirty.

1. Get the bowls of the sink wet.
2. Sprinkle with baking soda.
3. Scrub with sponge and rinse.

After that, your sink will have a clean polished look to it, and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you cleaned it with an everyday household product.

Works great on other surfaces too.
