You won't buy cleaning products anymore: just add these ingredients to vinegar and get an atomic bomb against dirt

Do you spend hundreds of rubles on stove gels, bathroom sprays and carpet foam, but the dirt comes back again?

This is all because manufacturers are hiding the fact that the most powerful cleaning “weapons” are already in your kitchen.

It's not magic, it's simple chemistry. Mix vinegar with... baking soda and you'll get a reaction that will dissolve even old grease and rust. Cleaning companies hate this life hack: it's too cheap and effective.

The problem with store-bought products is their aggressive surfactants and chlorine. They corrode the skin, leave toxic fumes, and kill beneficial bacteria in the drain. Vinegar (an acid) and soda (an alkali) react violently upon contact, releasing carbon dioxide. The bubbles “explode” the dirt, pushing it out of the pores. Research by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirms that this combination can handle 89% of household dirt.

How to make an "atomic bomb"?

You will need a spray bottle, vinegar (9%) and baking soda. For the stove: sprinkle baking soda on greasy stains, spray vinegar and watch the mixture begin to bubble. After 10 minutes, wipe the surface with a damp cloth - the carbon will disappear. For blockages in pipes: pour half a glass of soda into the drain, pour a glass of vinegar, close the plug for 20 minutes. Then rinse with boiling water - the sewer will be cleared without harming the environment.

Why does this work better than chemistry?

Baking soda is an abrasive that scrapes away dirt without damaging the surface. Vinegar dissolves mineral deposits and grease. Together, they create an environment where the alkali and acid attack the dirt in turn. For bathroom tiles, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the grout, then spray with vinegar. The bubbles will push mold out of the pores, and the baking soda will whiten the grout.

Where to apply the method?

• Oven: mix baking soda with water to form a paste, spread on the walls, leave overnight. In the morning, sprinkle with vinegar, scrub and rinse.
• Carpets: sprinkle the stain with baking soda, spray with vinegar, vacuum after 10 minutes.
• Silver: pour vinegar into an aluminum bowl, add a spoonful of soda, and dip the jewelry in. The tarnish will disappear in a minute.

Mistakes that will turn a "bomb" into a "firecracker".

Do not mix vinegar and soda in a closed container - the pressure of carbon dioxide can burst it. Do not use the method on marble, granite or wood - the acid will leave stains. Do not apply the paste to aluminum - soda will scratch the metal. Do not expect an instant result on long-standing stains - give the reaction time.
