Why are homeowners mixing baking soda, detergent and toothpaste? I put this DIY cleaning hack to the test to find out
Why are people mixing baking soda, detergent and toothpaste? The DIY cleaning hack put to the test — does it really work?
Baking soda, a popular household cleaning ingredient known for its natural, chemical-free properties, has recently become part of a new DIY cleaning hack that mixes it with liquid detergent and toothpaste. This combination is touted for its effectiveness in cleaning glass, mirrors, and shower screens, particularly for removing stubborn water marks, grime, and soapy buildup.
The idea to test this hack emerged, and the results were promising. To create the DIY glass cleaner, a small bowl of baking soda, a capful of liquid detergent, and a squeeze of toothpaste were blended together to form a paste. A microfiber cloth was dipped into the paste and used to clean the glass surfaces, with a damp cloth used afterward to remove any residue.
The test revealed that this homemade cleaner not only achieved a crystal-clear finish but also saved significant effort compared to traditional cleaning sprays. Despite requiring a bit of patience to prepare a new solution each time, the results were impressive, making it a worthwhile option for those seeking sparkling results with natural ingredients.
