Soda

O bicarbonato é tratado como fermento químico "utilizado no crescimento das massas de pães, bolos e biscoitos durante o cozimento no forno, isso deve-se a liberação de CO2 gasoso. Outras utilizações do bicarbonato de sódio são como reagente de laboratório, na eletrodeposição de ouro e platina, em curtumes, no tratamento da lã e da seda, na nutrição de animais, na cerâmica, para a preservação da manteiga e da madeira e é um dos componentes dos talcos e desodorantes. A forma anihidríca (se misturar a água) do composto usa-se para absorver umidade e odores." (fonte http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonato_de_sódio)

Graças a essas características, muita gente acabou descobrindo o uso do composto em diversos fins. Durante os anos andei coletando várias informações a respeito do uso do bicarbonato de sódio e publico aqui.

SEGURANÇA

1. Se você não tiver um extintor classe B para apagar fogos causados por curto circuito, NUNCA use água. Apague o fogo jogando bicarbonato livremente.
2. Também é possível utilizar bicarbonato para apagar incêndios em roupas, combustível, madeira e tapetes.
3. Para melhorar a visibilidade pára-brisas do carro, aplique bicarbonato em um pano úmido e passe levemente pelo lado interno e pelo externo. Isso também ajuda a prevenir a umidade acumulada nos vidros.
CULINÁRIA

4. Para limpar vegetais e frutas, utilize uma colher de bicarbonato para cada litro de água. Deixe os alimentos imersos por alguns segundos, enxágue e sece normalmente.
5. Para remover odores de álho, cebola, peixe, camarão ou qualquer outro alimento, lave suas mãos com bicarbonato e esfregue bem.
6. Quando escaldar um frango, adicione uma colher de bicarbonato a água quente. As penas saem mais facilmente e a carne se torna mais limpa e clara.

LIMPEZA

18. Para remover gordura e restos de comida de churrasqueiras, grelhas e superfícies de chãos, espalhe bicarbonato em pó e deixe agir por meia hora. Escove para remover o excesso e exágue com água quente.

20. Caso você tenha materiais de prata e aço inox com manchas e gravuras em lugares de difícil acesso, pegue uma panela de cerâmica ou esmaltada e forre com papel alumínio. Coloque os materiais dentro da panela, adicione 4 colheres de sopa de bicarbonato e cubra com água quente. Deixe agir, enxágue e seque.
21. Em lava-louças, espalhe bicarbonato de sódio no fundo da lavadoura para remover odores. Para efetuar uma limpeza profunda da lavadoura rode um ciclo de limpeza com bicarbonato ao invés de sabão em pó.
22. Para remover aquelas manchas de gordura queimada de pirex e refratários sem precisar usar bombril ou ficar esfregando até perder os dedos, deixe a travessa de molho em água morna e misture bicarbonato. Deixe agir de 15 a 30 minutos. Enxágue e lave normalmente.
