Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate. This can help loosen grease and debris. Dishwashing liquid, in turn, contains surfactants that bind and remove grease particles. Sugar also has a slightly abrasive effect and can remove dirt mechanically. Many users swear by the combination, especially when there are burnt-in residues, dirty joints or greasy surfaces.

Three ingredients from the kitchen: This paste dissolves dirt particularly effectively

To make the cleaning paste, two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid are mixed with one tablespoon of baking powder and one tablespoon of sugar to form a creamy paste. Then apply the mixture to the dirty area with a sponge, leave it on for a few minutes and then wipe off with water. The paste is particularly often used for ovens and stoves, sinks and sinks as well as tile joints and burnt pots.

Home remedies seem to be making a real comeback. Many consumers are increasingly turning to simple cleaning methods again. The main reasons are rising prices for household cleaners and the Desire for less chemicals in everyday life. But there are also critical voices: many users report in forums of good experiences with baking soda, for exampledishwashing liquid or citric acid – at the same time, others warn against treating sensitive surfaces incorrectly. Natural stone, marble or sensitive coatings in particular can be damaged by abrasive or acidic mixtures. It is therefore advisable to test the above-mentioned paste on an inconspicuous area first.

Be careful with sensitive surfaces – prevent contamination

According to consumer advice centers, it generally makes sense to avoid aggressive cleaning agents that can harm the environment and our health. However, it should always be noted that even more environmentally friendly cleaning products can be dangerous for small children if swallowed or in contact with the skin.

It is therefore even better not to let dirt dry in the first place. This way you can save cleaning supplies, money and time and at the same time protect the environment. Dry wiping tiles and joints can also prevent the formation of limescale stains and mold. In addition, with the right tools you can reduce the use of cleaning products even further.

Ants can also be effectively removed from balconies and terraces using simple home remedies – without killing the beneficial insects. And another home remedy when cleaning windows ensures that the windows stay clean longer: Glycerin in the cleaning water ensures a lasting shine – even on other surfaces.
