Ah, I see! You’re talking about a home cleaning hack that’s more effective than expensive commercial cleaners. Here’s a detailed, practical guide for a simple, cheap, and powerful cleaning method that works on many surfaces:
🧼 Simple, Powerful Cleaning Method
The Ingredients
- White vinegar – natural disinfectant, removes soap scum, hard water stains, and grease
- Baking soda – gentle abrasive, deodorizes, and lifts grime
- Optional: A few drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) for fragrance and extra antibacterial properties
How It Works
- Sprinkle baking soda on the dirty surface (sink, stovetop, bathroom tiles).
- Spray or pour vinegar over it.
- It will fizz and bubble—this reaction helps lift dirt and grime.
- Scrub lightly with a sponge or cloth.
- Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.
Why It’s Better Than Store-Bought Cleaners:
- Non-toxic and safe for kids and pets
- Works on grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and odors
- Much cheaper than commercial cleaners
Bonus Tips
- For stubborn stains: Let the vinegar & baking soda sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.
- For glass surfaces: After cleaning, wipe with newspaper or microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.
- For drains: Pour ½ cup baking soda + ½ cup vinegar, wait 15 minutes, then flush with hot water to clear minor clogs.
💡 Extra Hack:
Make a paste of baking soda + vinegar for ovens or stovetops—apply, let sit, scrub, and it will remove baked-on grime without harsh chemicals.
