How do these baking soda/vinegar cleaning hacks work

806 viewsChemistryOther

You often see videos of people using baking soda, vinegar and boiling water to clean stains in the kitchen or the bathroom. From my understanding these ingredients should simply neutralise each other. So how does it help cleaning? Or is it simply a social media myth

It’s bullshit, the only cleaning it may theoretically do is that the bubbles “lift” the stain out of your fabric but I really doubt that’s a thing.

What’s more likely is that people see bubbles and think that’s the magic (not the intense scrubbing following after). Honestly it’s just people repeating other people on TikTok nowadays.
