Natural cleaning paste

Try this natural cleaning paste for tougher stains and built up grime. Works well for cleaning ovens, rangehood filters and tile grout. See this review that Consumer NZ did of cleaners – vinegar and baking soda cleaned better than most commercial cleaners. How does it work? Baking soda is a base and vinegar is an acid. When combined the two ingredients will fizz and form carbon dioxide bubbles and sodium acetate (which is a type of salt).

Plastic bottle

Slowly add ¼ cup DYC White Vinegar, allowing the foaming to subside before adding more vinegar.
