Why This Works Better (and Is Safer)

  • Vinegar’s acidity breaks down tough grime and kills many types of bacteria.
  • Baking soda’s gentle abrasiveness lifts dirt and neutralizes odors.
  • Together, they create a fizzing action that helps loosen buildup.
  • No toxic chemicals, making it safe for kids, pets, and your family’s health.
  • Eco-friendly and biodegradable.

My Favorite Uses for This DIY Cleaner

  • Cleaning kitchen countertops and stovetops.
  • Refreshing bathroom tiles and sinks.
  • Polishing glass and mirrors (just use a vinegar-water mix without baking soda for this).
  • Deodorizing trash cans and refrigerators.
  • Cleaning greasy oven racks or microwave interiors.

Final Thoughts: Save Money and Clean Smarter

After trying this method, I realized I don’t need dozens of different cleaners cluttering my cabinets. This simple, natural solution cleans everything from floors to fixtures, costs pennies per batch, and feels good knowing I’m using safer ingredients.

If you’ve been skeptical about homemade cleaners, give this a try—you might be surprised how well it works. It’s a small change that saves money, reduces waste, and keeps your home fresh and clean.
