Baking soda is not just a leavening agent for baking; it's also a powerful cleaning and dehumidifying agent. Excessive humidity in kitchens can lead to various issues, such as damage to cookbooks and houseplants, mold growth, and wallpaper damage. The EPA states that 30% to 50% humidity is normal. Home cooks can easily manage humidity by placing open boxes of baking soda in their kitchens, which absorbs excess moisture. This method not only freshens the air but is also a sustainable way to utilize expired baking soda.
To naturally reduce moisture in the air, just open a box of baking soda or transfer it to a small bowl and set it out in the kitchen.
Excessive humidity can damage your cookbooks and houseplants, cause your wallpaper to peel, and incite mold and fungal growth.
