At Fillarup, we're all about making sustainable living simple, effective and accessible. And if there's one product that truly embodies this philosophy, it's the unassuming yet incredibly powerful Bicarbonate of Soda (also known as Baking Soda!).
Often found lurking in the back of our baking cupboards, this little white powder is far more than just a leavening agent. It's a non-toxic, eco-friendly and incredibly versatile superhero for cleaning, deodorising and even a few personal care tricks. If you're looking to ditch harsh chemicals and embrace a greener home, Bicarb is about to become your new best friend!
Why is Bicarbonate of Soda Such an Eco-Star?
Unlike many conventional cleaners packed with synthetic chemicals, Bicarb is a naturally occurring compound. It's completely biodegradable, safe for your family and pets, and incredibly gentle on the environment. Plus, it's super economical, making it a win for your wallet too!
