🧼 Mix Mild Soap with Baking Soda: What You’ll See Next Is Pure Cleaning Magic!
If you’re someone who loves a sparkling-clean home but wants to avoid harsh chemicals, here’s a brilliant cleaning hack that’s simple, affordable, and surprisingly powerful: mixing mild soap with baking soda.
This dynamic duo creates a natural paste that cuts through grease, lifts stains, and leaves surfaces gleaming — all without damaging your skin or your home. It’s one of those little-known tricks that once you try it, you’ll never clean the same way again!
🧪 Why This Combo Works So Well
- Baking soda is a mild abrasive that breaks down grime and neutralizes odors.
- Mild soap (like castile soap or dish soap) breaks down oils, grease, and dirt.
- Together, they create a gentle yet powerful cleanser that’s safe for nearly every surface in your home.
🧴 What You’ll Need
- 2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of mild liquid soap (unscented or scented — your choice!)
- Optional: a few drops of essential oil (like lemon, tea tree, or lavender for fragrance and added cleaning power)
- A small bowl and spoon for mixing
- A sponge, soft cloth, or brush
🧽 How to Make and Use the Paste
Step 1: Mix It Up
In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and mild soap until it forms a thick, creamy paste. Add essential oil drops if using.
Step 2: Apply to Dirty Surfaces
Scoop a bit of the paste onto a sponge or cloth and apply it directly to areas with grease, stains, or buildup.
Great spots to use it:
- Stove tops and oven doors
- Kitchen sinks
- Bathroom tiles and tubs
- Stainless steel appliances
- Soap scum on shower glass
- Grimy grout lines
