Vinegar and baking soda?
Question:Ok, so baking soda and vinegar both deodorize right? So can I make a room smell fresh by mixing the two in a big cup in the middle of a room, or deodorize a container fast by mixing the two?
Answers:
Mixing the two will give you a mini volcano eruption.
by a big cup you mean a big bucket then maybe yes
Vinegar is ok on it's own,
lol if u want to clean up an even bigger mess... dont mix them... didnt you ever make a volcano in school ?
I don't think the vinegar is needed. Baking soda is a great deodorizer by itself. Plus if you mix the two it will make CO2 gas and make a mess. Think of those volcanoes you made in science class as a kid. Just sprinkle the baking soda on the floor and let it sit for a little while, then vacuum it up.
Vinegar and baking soda together cause a chemical reaction (think the volcano in chemistry class). You can mix, but expect a reacion of foam--and I doubt they would deodorize much together.
If you mix them you will have a huge mess.Baking soda (base) Vinegar (Acid).Think 5th grade...volcano...!!! It's good for a slow drain...
Baking soda is good to absorb odors in fridge
Vinegar to clean windows...
Yea,&no.If BS &V mix they'll do sumting weird.
LOL>>>> mix them both together in a pill box , quickly put on the lid turn up-side down, set on the ground, move back,,,, the pill box will fly...great fun as a kid
Yes. on the container, probably not on the room If you put an open box of baking soda in your fridge it will absorb odors, but that's a smaller, enclosed space, a whole room is a different thing. You might have to be a little more aggressive with that one
I have soaked pickle jar lids in that solution so that I could reuse the jars for non pickle items.
If you put a tablespoon of baking soda down your drains followed by a half a cup of vinegar once a month your drains will not smell and they will stay clear,
I asked the same question once...whether these two powerhouse substances are better together. The answer is no. After all the foamy hullabaloo, after the molecules are re-situated, the yield of these two ingredients is basically water. Water is wonderful in its own right but it won't deodorize the way either one does separately.
What I would do is sprinkle baking soda on the carpet, let it rest a while, like an hour? and then vacuum it up. If there is still an odor lingering, boil a 50-50 mix of water and white vinegar and set the pan in the middle of the room to evaporate into the air. By the time the water cools down the odors should be gone. If you like, you can add some essential oil like lavender, to the vinegar water mix after you take it off the heat.
This should take care of the problem.
The exception is if you need the reaction to knock something loose. That boiling action is great when you have a slow or clogged drain. Pour a box of baking soda down the drain first, dry, then add a trickle of vinegar (hot vinegar is better) until all the foaming stops. Follow with hot water. Your drain clog should be gone.
Vinegar and baking soda are both really good for a lot of the same things, but sometimes one is better than the other. Vinegar is great when you can get something wet, obviously, and baking soda for fabrics, paper, and books, etc that have to stay dry. You can use baking soda as a scouring powder (great with bleach as a paste). One distinction is that baking soda used wet, needs to be rinsed thoroughly or else you have a powdery residue on things.
mix the both together with a bit of water into a spray bottle then spray on carpets or beds or any kind of fabric it will help remove any kind of smells
