Steps to Make the Miracle Cleaner:
Step 1
Start by mixing equal parts of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. Vinegar, being acidic, naturally breaks down grease.
Step 2
Add a few drops of Dawn dish soap to the vinegar and water mixture.
Step 3
Dawn is specifically designed to cut through grease effectively.
Step 4
Close the spray bottle and gently shake it to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 5
Sprinkle baking soda directly onto the greasy surfaces. Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive that helps to loosen tough grease deposits.
Step 6
Spray the vinegar and soap solution over the baking soda. You’ll notice it fizzing up, indicating that it’s actively reacting to dissolve the grease.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to sit on the surface for about 5 to 10 minutes. This dwell time helps to penetrate and break down the grease effectively.
Step 8
Use a sponge or a microfiber cloth to scrub the surface gently. The combination of baking soda and the vinegar solution should make it easy to remove the grease.
Step 9
Finally, wipe down the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue. Let it air dry naturally.
