Slowly add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the mixture. It will fizz — this reaction helps break down grime and stains.
Dip your soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently apply it to the object you want to clean. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes.
Using the cloth or sponge, lightly scrub the surface to lift dirt and buildup.
Rinse the item with clean water and wipe dry with a soft towel. Voilà — a sparkling clean object in just five minutes!

Why This Trick Works
The magic lies in the combination of baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda’s mild abrasiveness scrubs away dirt, while vinegar’s acidity dissolves mineral deposits and grime. Together, they form a natural, chemical-free cleaning duo that’s safe and effective.
Pro Tips for Sparkling Results
- Test the solution on a small area first to ensure it won’t damage delicate surfaces.
- Avoid using on porous stones like marble or granite as vinegar can etch these materials.
- For stubborn stains, repeat the process or let the solution sit a little longer.
