Very useful information. Self starters (not to mention nerds)like me (unlike those who learned cooking, and cleaning up after, from their elders who had access to such knowledge informally) need to understand how things work to be better at it. Thank you for this!

Thanks so much Swetha! Great to be able to get rid of that eggy smell from my dishes and the kitchen sink with baking soda (I’ve always used vinegar with only moderate success). Love to know how the science behind why it works! Thanks again.

I believe there are some of the odor molecules have an acid component to them. I read that the baking soda reacts with those components changing their structure, thus eliminating the odor.

Yes! It is a very clever product - contains soap, baking soda, microparticles that scrub well, etc. Kudos to the person who came up with that!
