Ingredients:
Vinegar – White vinegar is a powerful natural cleaner that dissolves mineral deposits like limescale and soap scum.
Baking Soda – A mild abrasive that aids in scrubbing and neutralizing odors while helping vinegar break down stubborn buildup.
Lemon Juice – Its citric acid works as a natural cleanser, removing scale and leaving a fresh scent.
Water – Diluting the ingredients with water helps adjust the solution’s strength for various surfaces.
Essential Oils (Optional) – A few drops of essential oils like lavender or tea tree can add fragrance and additional cleaning power.
Directions:
For a Basic Vinegar Solution:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
Shake well and spray generously on the affected areas where scale has built up.
Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes to allow the vinegar to break down the mineral deposits.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub away the scale, then rinse the area with warm water.
For a Paste Cleaner:
Combine 1/2 cup of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of water to create a thick paste.
Apply the paste directly to areas with heavy scale buildup, like faucets or showerheads.
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub gently with a brush or sponge.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
For a Lemon Vinegar Solution:
Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice with 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup water.
Spray this solution on surfaces that have scale buildup.
Allow it to sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub the area with a brush or cloth.
Rinse and dry the surface afterward.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: Store any leftover cleaning solutions in a labeled spray bottle in a cool, dry place. If using lemon juice or essential oils, ensure the bottle is sealed tightly.
Use Fresh: It’s best to use these homemade solutions within a week for maximum effectiveness.
Non-toxic: These ingredients are safe for most household surfaces, including glass, ceramic, stainless steel, and plastic. However, always do a spot test on a small, hidden area first.
