Baking soda is alkaline and vinegar is acidic, so they have a chemical reaction, but they are ineffective together to clean-thats why you are having to use more elbow grease to clean. Baking soda with water is great for scrubbing, rinse then spray with vinegar to disinfect and it will work better. I actually use liquid castile soap and water with my baking soda and it makes a paste scrub that works way better. I started off doing the same baking soda and vinegar routine too and I got so frustrated at how much time and sweat and effort I had to put in to scrubbing the tub once a week, and I just want to stop the spreading fallacy that baking soda and vinegar make a great cleaner combined- completely false. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble. Natural cleaning products do work great, but you have to consider there is chemistry involved and take the components into account for efficacy.

[@Nihonrabu]

YES! Can't believe so many people still think baking soda and vinegar cleans well

[@heidishmidi]

This. The actual chemical reaction looks like this: Baking soda + vinegar --> carbon dioxide + water In other words, mixing the two is the literal equivalent of cleaning your toilet by exhaling on it and spraying it with water.

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Thanks for sharing! I mean I knew the chemical reaction but I still found it cleaned well lol I guess I'm wrong

[@Apryll.]

You are not wrong. Try cleaning grout without baking soda and vinegar and how many people across the globe are putting baking soda and vinegar in their toilets and coming back to a world a difference. Without a chemistry degree, the others opinion are invalid.

[@violethighley5978]

Does that mean I can make carbonated water this way?

[@JaciniaPerez]

Vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and Dr Bronners are ALL staples. I also use alcohol as a disinfectant. Like wiping down electronics, door knobs, letting it sit on counter tops. Mjuch love 💚

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

thanks for sharing girly 💚💚

For pots and pans and scrubbing out my sink, I freeze lemon halves I got for cheap and use the juice for tea and then I freeze them. Then when I want to scrub, I wrap the lemons in a bit of rag, dip them into salt or baking soda and use that to scrub out my sink and pots and such.

[@KatelynG0301]

Two amazing products you need to check out is my green fills laundry detergent and norwex cleaning cloths.

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Thanks for sharing 😊💚

[@livingunjaded]

Still using up my conventional cleaning products, but looking forward to the switch to vinegar and baking soda... Thanks for the tips! :)

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Thanks for watching 💚

[@rebeccadawnhealth8322]

I use the eco soap nuts for the laundry....they work really well!

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Yes! My friend Lindsay introduced me to them.

[@zoeb1524]

For laundry detergent you can use soap nuts. They last for multiple loads and they are as natural as it gets in terms of laundry detergent.

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Thanks for sharing! I have used them in the past and they've worked great.

[@emilymosley3184]

Thanks! I’m wondering if you wash your cleaning towels with clothing or wash in a separate load?

[@dustytin]

What toiletry products do you use? Like toothbrush, toothpaste, face soap, etc.

[@kylieeats1639]

I always had that film with powder detergent! Great tip!!!

[@priyankas8860]

what is d best alternative for kitchen scrubs?

[@lancelovecraft5913]

lol I tell this to my roommate all the time! If we can just clean once a week then it would be more like maintaining and preserving the state of the apartment rather than actually cleaning it

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

oh yes! My roommate also doesn't understand this concept.

[@zzztsukizzz]

I really love your channel! You look so sweet and have lots of wonderful ideas :) i also use vinegar and baking soda for a lot in my appartment! But i heard somewhere that we shoudn't do our bed in the morning because it makes bacterias grows in the sheets and matress, it would be better to keep it open (hey! A good reason for not doing the bed in the morning :D !), but i'm not sure, i just heard this and it sticks in my head ^^ (Sorry for my english, im french canadian :) )

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Salut!! Interesting... I know that in traditional french culture they used to air out their sheets instead of washing them. Maybe it comes from that? I feel like I can start my day when my bed is made.

[@zzztsukizzz]

Maybe! I didn't do my research before posting it, it just came to my mind while watching your video :) Thx for the reply :D

[@ali9047]

Can you use the vinegar mixture to clean wooden surfaces?

[@dreamanddwell]

Do you get your baking soda in bulk? I haven't been able to find it in the bulk section so I've been buying in the cardboard box still!

[@ursulam3660]

Hannah Eleanor Costco sells like a 5lb bag for cheap. It does come in a plastic zip top bag though. I've had it for a while and use it for everything laundry cleaning and baking

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

I haven't found it in bulk only cardboard too

[@pyrogummybear37]

yay! I was waiting for this

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

💚💚💚

[@Mama.annalise]

I heard vinegar and baking soda mixed together will neutralize

[@Mama.annalise]

you can take old lemon and lime peels in a big glass jar (keep in freezer til full) then add vinegar let soak for 2 weeks and dilute with water gives you a nice scent

[@TheGirlGoneGreen]

Thanks for the tips!

[@lisabriskey]

I use water and vinegar as an all purpose cleaner

[@TwoRaspberries]
