How to store opened baking soda so that it lasts a long time.
To store opened baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) so that it remains durable and long-lasting, you can follow these simple steps.
1. Store in an airtight container.
Transfer the opened baking soda into a tight, airtight container. An airtight container will help prevent the baking soda from being exposed to moisture in the air, which can result in lumps forming or the quality of the baking soda decreasing.
2. Keep away from moisture.
Place the baking soda container in a dry, cool place, away from sources of moisture such as the kitchen or bathroom. Avoid storing baking soda near hot pans or teapots, because high temperatures can also affect the quality of baking soda.
3. Protect from odors and aromas.
If possible, place wax paper or a scent protector in the container before adding the baking soda. This will help prevent the baking soda from absorbing odors and aromas from the surrounding environment.
4. Keep it dry.
Make sure the baking soda remains dry. Baking soda exposed to moisture can clump and be difficult to use properly.
5. Close the container tightly.
Make sure the baking soda container is tightly closed every time you use it. This will help prevent air from entering the container and maintain the quality of the baking soda.
With the methods above, you can store opened baking soda properly and maintain its quality so that it remains durable and long-lasting for use for various purposes, such as cooking, cleaning, or other household purposes.
