Baking soda and vinegar are a classic cleaning duo you likely already have at home. When combined, they fizz up to lift dirt, cut odors, and tackle messes—without harsh chemicals.
Why It Works
Baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid) react to create carbon dioxide bubbles. This fizzy action loosens grime, breaks down buildup, and deodorizes naturally.
DIY All-Purpose Spray
You’ll need:
- 1 spray bottle
- 2 tbsp baking soda
- ½ cup white vinegar
- Water
Steps:
- Fill the bottle halfway with water.
- Add baking soda.
- Slowly pour in vinegar (over a sink).
- Let the fizz settle, cap, and shake gently.
Where to Use It
- Kitchen: counters, fridge, stovetop, cutting boards
- Bathroom: sinks, faucets, tiles, toilet, shower doors
- Around the house: mirrors, windows, carpets, upholstery, pet beds
- Garden: mildew and light pest control (test first)
Safety Tips
- Don’t store in airtight containers (pressure builds).
- Test on a small area before full use.
- Keep away from the eyes and kids.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
This mix is safe for pets, food surfaces, and fabrics. It’s non-toxic, leaves no residue, and is better for the planet than chemical cleaners.
Bottom line: Cheap, natural, and powerful—baking soda and vinegar can handle just about any mess.
