The Magic Combo: Baking Soda and Vinegar

Why Baking Soda and Vinegar?

Baking soda is mildly abrasive, which means it scrubs off grime without scratching surfaces. Plus, it’s alkaline, making it perfect for neutralizing acidic grease. On the other hand, vinegar is acidic, dissolving grease and mineral deposits with ease. When combined, these two create a fizzing reaction that lifts stubborn grime, making it much easier to wipe away.
