How to Make Homemade Baking Soda to Make Your Whole Home Shine

Salt (sodium chloride) isn’t part of this chemical reaction. It doesn’t create baking soda but its slight abrasiveness makes it great for scrubbing surfaces gently without scratching. It’s a helpful cleaning aid, but it doesn’t chemically produce anything.

The Clever Trick: Effervescent Cleaning Foam

When you mix white vinegar with baking soda or baking powder, a natural fizzing reaction occurs. This effervescent foam helps loosen dirt, grease, and even limescale from your surfaces, making cleaning easier and more effective.

Quick & Easy Cleaning Recipe

You’ll need:

• Baking powder or baking soda

• White vinegar

• A sponge or old toothbrush

How to clean:

1. Sprinkle baking powder or baking soda generously over the dirty surface (sink, tile grout, shower, hob, etc.).

2. Slowly pour white vinegar over it and watch the foam fizz!

3. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the reaction to loosen grime.

4. Scrub with a sponge or brush.

5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
