Ah, this sounds like one of those powerful, natural cleaning hacks! There are ingredients that cut grease and dissolve limescale effectively—often better than harsh bleach, without the strong smell. Here’s how:
1. White Vinegar – The All-Rounder
- What it does: Dissolves mineral deposits (lime, hard water stains) and cuts grease.
- How to use:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
- Spray on greasy stovetops, countertops, or bathroom tiles.
- Let sit 5–10 minutes, then wipe with a microfiber cloth.
2. Baking Soda – The Gentle Scrubber
- What it does: Mildly abrasive, so it scrubs off grime without scratching surfaces.
- How to use:
- Sprinkle baking soda on greasy pans, sinks, or bathroom surfaces.
- Add a little water to make a paste, scrub gently, and rinse.
3. Lemon Juice – The Citrus Power
- What it does: Acidic, so it dissolves lime and soap scum and leaves a fresh scent.
- How to use:
- Rub a cut lemon directly on taps, showerheads, or sinks.
- Let it sit 5–10 minutes, then rinse.
- Can mix with vinegar for stubborn limescale.
4. Bonus Hack: Vinegar + Baking Soda Combo
- For tough spots, sprinkle baking soda, then spray vinegar.
- Fizzing action loosens grime and makes wiping easy.
- Works on stovetops, ovens, drains, and bathroom tiles.
💡 Extra Tips:
- Always rinse surfaces after cleaning—especially in kitchens—to remove residue.
- Use a microfiber cloth for streak-free shine.
- These are safer and eco-friendlier than bleach and harsh chemical cleaners.
If you want, I can make a step-by-step “1-hour deep clean” routine for your kitchen and bathroom using just vinegar, baking soda, and lemon—no bleach, no harsh chemicals, and everything sparkles.
