Generally, mixing baking soda and vinegar for cleaning action is silly unless you actually need the movement from the reaction. Vinegar is a weak acid, good for cleaning lime scale. Baking soda is a weak alkali, good for dissolving organic material. If they’re mixed, they just form CO2 and a salt, sodium acetate. My working rhyme is “Acids for lime. Bases for grime. Never apply more than one at a time.” …because they neutralize each other, and the rhyme may help discourage people from mixing household chemicals and accidentally releasing chlorine or chloramine gas..

For the baking soda and vinegar you need to make it into a thick paste with water first, and then wait for it to dry. Then once it’s dry, spray it with vinegar from a spray bottle and scrub. I use this method to clean my stove all the time

[@miathemouse5659]

I do a lot of cleaning, and restoring things, so I've had to deal with rust on many types of objects. I've done a lot of research and experimentation to get a better understanding of rust, metal, and the processes used for dealing with rust on metal surfaces. Shout out to my dad, who is a mechanic, for supplying me with as much rusty metal as I needed to feel like I understood what was going on! If you're goal is to remove rust from an object by soaking it in anything, you need to first take off whatever you can using a scouring pad, steel wool (or other metal scrubbing pad), or a wire brush. Getting off what you can before soaking makes it easier for the solution you're soaking the object in to get to the area where the rust is actually touching the metal. This means that the soak will take less time to work, but the trade-off is that it takes more effort before the soak. If I'm specifically wanting to convert the rust, then I don't do the above process, because removing the rust could cause putting on the surface of the object. The rust crust has to stay on the object, because it has to be there for the conversion process to turn it back into metal. Removing the rust crust before soaking or coating the object in the rust converter causes unsightly pitting on its surface, which isn't ideal, especially if you are restoring the object. It's always important to remember that cleaning rust off of an object is different from converting it. The preparation of the object is going to depend on which one you are trying to do.

@@miathemouse5659 stainless steel

[@miathemouse5659]

@@amazinggraceukpai3783 How I would handle this would differ based on whether it is a kitchen sink or not. Most stainless steel sinks are kitchen sinks, so I'm going to assume that it is. With kitchen sinks, I prefer to start off using products that are food safe, before moving to harsher stuff. Just keep this one thing in mind: don't use steel wool to remove rust from your sink, because you can scratch it up, which will make it harder to clean, in the future. You should use a soft bristled brush, a soft to medium bristled toothbrush, or cloth on this project. Personally, I keep an electric toothbrush and an electric face cleaning brush for cleaning projects. These are things that I've upgraded from, not stuff that I buy specifically for cleaning. Electric scrub brushes are also available on the market, but don't always have a range of bristle types to choose from. Whatever type of brush you use, just remember that it's the scrubbing motion that does the cleaning, not the downward pressure; excessive downward pressure just wears out the bristles. Depending on how large and bad the stain is, I would start with a paste made of baking soda mixed with a water and small amount of Dawn. Apply this paste to the stained areas, and allow it to sit for an hour or so, then grab a soft bristled brush (use a toothbrush for smaller parts, and to get into crevices) and scrub in circles. Soaking the stained parts in vinegar for a couple of hours before scrubbing is another good method. Barkeeper's Friend has a liquid cleaning product and a powder one. The liquid one is pretty much all that by my brother-in-law uses for rust in his sink; he swears by the stuff. This is relevant because he has a habit of leaving his cast iron cookware in the sink for days while continuing to use that same sink (I know, but it's not my job to remind him that he's messing up). I've never actually used this one, because when I'm staying over, I wash the cast iron pans right after dinner, to prevent them from rusting. As a result, you'll have to follow the instructions on the bottle. I prefer to save harsh chemicals until nothing else works, because my lungs aren't great, but if none of the above works, there are products made for removing rust and rust stains. I've used these, but only in the bathroom, so I'm not sure what is best for stainless steel. However, I typically start researching cleaning products by reading reviews on Amazon, just keep in mind that many of the best products get bad reviews from people who aren't using the product correctly and then get upset that it doesn't work. I really hope this is helpful. Good luck with that sink!

For copper, combine salt, flour, and vinegar, it makes a paste that sticks much easier to copper, you can smear this paste in a thick layer over the entire thing and wrap it in cling-film and leave it to sit for a day or two. Come back and parts of the paste will have turned green, but you can rinse the paste off and give it a small scrub and it'll be almost like new.

[@Escviitash]

Applying heat when using baking soda aids the process. I clean my burnt on pans by boiling water in the pan and applying baking soda once it is boiling and let it boil for a few minutes more, then a light scrub to remove any loosened dirt. Rinse and repeat until the pan is clean which for me usually means repeating the process once or twice. Burnt on stuff that hides in any scratches on the pan, but usually is invisible to the naked eye, speeds up the procces of building up new layers of visible burnt on stuff. That invisible burnt on stuff is gone too.

Another tip is to use vinegar to descale shower heads. Another tip: use a carpet rake to help soften carpets. Adding shampoo will also help. I do chores, too.

For the rusty pliers, apple cider vinegar would also work. The catch is it would take about a week, but the rust would be completely gone. My daughter tried it with an old crescent wrench (adjustable spanner) that she found on the side of a road and she was successful in making it usable again.

[@arush251189]

For cleaning copper, you can substitute the vinegar with lemon juice. Works just as well as vinegar. I just Tak half a lemon covered with salt and scrub the copper with it.

[@magusperde365]

The smell of vinegar makes me vomit. I'm thinking of buying pure citric acid to use instead of vinegar for all these kind of stuff. But it might be overkill, lemon juice is basically just diluted citric acid that still very strong

[@KasumiRINA]

​@@magusperde365citric acid is not overkill, trust me. It is cheap, used in baking so safe, and it descales anything immediately without the vinegar smell. It's still a weak acid after all. Just deactivate it with soda if you want it to stop eating at metal (no need with teapots, just wash it through with clean water).

[@magusperde365]

@@KasumiRINA i mean overkill vs just lemon juice. But I think what I said was stupid anyway and you're right. I also bought 80% lactic acid recently because I was curious and whrn my curiousity was satiated I just put it in my depression nest toilet and it was the damn best toilet cleaner I ever used. Citric acid would probably do the same but cheaper

[@StrifeA217]

[@MP-fk9em]

I agree! Absolutely love it and it works great.

[@_Circus_Clapped_]

I used citric acid for those jobs and a griddle screen, if it's metal, I used baking soda afterwards. Soon after I would coat the surface with mineral oil lightly and buff it in, worked better than that stuff for months on end

[@Arcanua]

From what I recall the baking soda and vinegar needs lemon juice as well. Otherwise as a light cleaner it works fine, but that was never a myth in the first place that's a very old and proven cleaning method. The salt hack can be done with several things since it's basically expostulating the surface which the scrubber side of some sponges aren't textured enough to do by themselves you can usually use steel wool or similar to do the same thing though may need some more scrubbing to get the same effect.

[@teariana1]

I've used salt with lemon halves to clean copper using the lemon half as the scrubber, works great. You do need to follow it up with a polish though as it leaves a dull finish. But considerably less work than just using polish alone.

[@tams9235]

The difference is that usually when baking with the same tray for a long time (usually a year) can leave stains to the tray because of the heat. it won’t come off anytime soon compared to one that has been used for probably a month or two because the heat got to the pan more then the one you used the shortest. there isn’t really any hack to getting rid of the stains except for getting a completely new pan.

[@DadGamingLtd]

I feel the need to point out that the limescale dissolving using acid scales with temperature. So just fill your kettle to the minimum mark with the cheapest vinegar you can find and set the kettle to boil. Instantly clean on the inside. If your faucet nossles are clogged up, put them in a bowl and pour the hot vinegar over them when you empty the kettle. Then they get cleaned as well. Double whammy!

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

I think a problem with cleaning the baking pan might be, if they really do use vinegar to clean with in the videos, it might not be household white vinegar, which is 5% to 20% acetic acid and the rest is water. Concentrated vinegar is around 75% acetic acid, unsafe for consumption, and more effective.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

@Johnny Synaptic -- I use regular household vinegar. It's excellent for doing windows too.

@@scotte8629 you can remove rust, the problem is that oxidation will still occur because most people don't mention that you need to neutralize the vinegar afterwards and coat with a thin layer of oil, also Citric Acid will beat any other acids out there and is publicly available for purchase and no worries about the FBI or CIA tracking you on its use. food safe and I use it daily to remove hard water buildup from steam tables at work, CA banned many chemicals but apparently they forgot about that one due to the label of it being food safe

[@Cypherthebard]

Ideally, you're supposed to use the concentrated syrup used in soda fountains. That stuff is much more corrosive and works much better as a rust remover..

[@KasumiRINA]

Syrup has tons of extra things you don't need. Vinegar or isolated citric acid (any weak acid really) works better without being sticky.

[@goblinsupreme801]

The vinegar to dissolve hard water stains reaction can be sped up by heating the vinegar. It works great for kettles as well as cleaning build up on showers, as the hot water side gets more from the water evaporating off the hot metal. Soak a rag or something in vinegar, wrap it around the parts, and run some hot water so it heats up. Then scrub off. You can also just heat the vinegar on a stove or something and use it while still hot. Just be careful as it can smell quite nasty

[@magencrisis1682]

When I use the kettle at night to boil water for tea or something else, and I notice the lime stains have gotten bad, I leave some of the boiling water in there, pour a splash of white vinegar while it's still really hot and leave it there until morning. Works like a charm and the smell is much milder.

With a lot of these cleaning jobs, it's necessary to know what kind of mess you are cleaning. For instance, baking soda and vinegar will remove carbon calcium or lime. The pan you had... was primarily burnt on oil/grease. You would need to find a degreaser (I'm unaware of any hacks besides buying a degreaser, but google probably knows... I know lemon juice helps some). The mess they had on their pan was just burnt on food... probably primarily carbon. A tip for neutralizing rust (besides just using CLR) would be that if you soak your pliers, put it in an airtight bottle or jar. Particularly with coke, carbonation is a catalyst... so after your coke flattens, you're wasting your time. Particularly with that bowl, the coke probably went flat in an hour.

[@VIIStardust]

For burnt on stuff, I use just vinegar or a 1:2 vinegar to water mix that I boil before putting it on and scrubbing straight away. To remove burnt fats, I believe what you want is the acid, and the baking soda just neutralizes it. Perhaps, if you wait for the acid to attack it first and give it half an hour before adding the soda, then the bubbles from the CO2 might agitate it and loosen it. Same with the kettle, a 1:2 vinegar to water solution boiled thoroughly disolves any lime (? English isn’t my first language) accumulation not only at the bottom but all over the kettle including the spout, especially pouring it out after. Plus with the added heat, after just one rinse with colder water, the vinegar is completely gone. Heat does wonders for any cleaning work.

2:00 this hack is used in india too from generation to generation the parents teach their children this (like at least in my family) but just instead of vinegar one can use lemon too. That will also help
