Kitchen Tips: Vinegar & Baking Soda

Okay, today's post doesn't have to do with food or dinner, but it does apply to the kitchen, so I think it counts! Allow me to introduce you to the power couple of the cleaning world - Vinegar & Baking Soda.


If you have a stainless steel sink, these two ingredients are the perfect, non-toxic way to clean and disinfect. I just sprinkle baking soda all over the sink, pour some vinegar over that, let it sizzle, then scrub away! Another of my favorite uses for this dynamic duo is pouring 1/2 cup of each down the drain and letting it sit for a bit. A great way to clean your drains.

While vinegar and baking soda make a great pair, vinegar is pretty stinkin' awesome on its own. Check out this great info from the Queen of Clean on the DIY network. This is the only episode I ever saw of "Talking Dirty with the Clean of Queen" (gotta love it) and I am so glad I did. I've incorporated vinegar into my cleaning ever since. Happy disinfecting!

Thanks! My mom taught me to use vinegar and baking soda together and separately to clean from the time I was young, but I wasn't aware of all of the ways it can be used. I tell you, nothing like the smell of vinegar to make me think CLEAN!

it's funny - the queen of clean said the same thing and I thought she was crazy, but now I'm feelin' it... the smell of vinegar totally makes me think of clean too!
