The inexpensive, safe and effective cleaning agents found right in your home!

Baking soda and Vinegar are household products that most everyone has in their homes. However, do we know all their magic tricks?

Over the years, I’ve experimented with various cleaning brands and slowly, baking soda and vinegar became a distant memory. If it was working why change you may ask…Well…I love new and fragrant residual scents after cleaning. So I bought into those persuasive television ads….the ones where scents still emanate long after cleaning.

However, with the emergence of COVID 19 and the demand to actually ensure that germs are killed and objects are properly cleaned, I’ve rediscovered my love for these old favourites. In fact, these cleaning agents are much safer options and are very effective.
