Use Vinegar and Baking Soda for 90% of Cleaning

The Problem

Your cleaning cabinet has 15 products: glass cleaner, bathroom cleaner, kitchen degreaser, floor cleaner. Expensive and unnecessary.

The Hack

White vinegar in a spray bottle: glass, counters, bathroom fixtures. Baking soda paste: scrubbing sinks, tubs, ovens. Vinegar + dish soap: all-purpose surface cleaner.

Why It Works

Vinegar (acetic acid) dissolves mineral deposits, grease, and kills most bacteria. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that scrubs without scratching. Together they cover 90% of household cleaning tasks.

Pro Tips

• 50/50 vinegar and water: spray bottle for surfaces and glass
• Baking soda paste: scrub sinks, tubs, and ovens
• Don't use vinegar on: marble, granite, or natural stone — it etches
• Add a few drops of essential oil for pleasant scent
