Baking Soda and Vinegar Scrub for Sinks and Baths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This gentle but effective scrub is excellent for scrubbing sinks, bathtubs, and tiles. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to lift grime, while vinegar\u2019s acidity helps dissolve stains and disinfect surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00bd cup baking soda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sponge or scrubbing brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sprinkle baking soda liberally on the surface you want to clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightly spray or pour a small amount of vinegar over the baking soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow it to fizz for a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge or brush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinse with water to reveal a gleaming surface.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination is great for regular maintenance but avoid using it on delicate materials that can be scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
