Mixing baking soda and vinegar: why it is recommended

The combination of these popular ingredients helps loosen stuck-on dirt and make it easier to remove accumulated residue from the surface.

On the one hand, baking soda provides its abrasive effect, which helps lift stains, while vinegar helps dissolve dirt stains and neutralize bad odors.

How to apply this trick to the shower curtain

To carry out the cleaning, you need

  • Half a cup of baking soda
  • One cup of white vinegar
  • Warm water
  • A cloth or sponge

How to apply it step by step

  • Remove the shower curtain
  • Dampen the affected areas
  • Apply baking soda over the stains
  • Spray white vinegar on top
  • Let it sit for several minutes
  • Clean
  • Rinse with plenty of water

The advice is always to clean in a ventilated place, use gloves and safety equipment when cleaning, and keep the mixture away from the face.
