Bleach disinfects, but it doesn’t dissolve limescale or cut grease very well. There’s a simple, natural combo that works better—without harsh fumes or damage.
🌿 The Powerful Natural Duo
White Vinegar + Baking Soda
Used the right way, this combination tackles hard water limescale and stubborn kitchen grease—especially on ovens and stovetops.
🚿 For Bathroom Limescale (Tiles, Faucets, Shower Glass)
What You Need
-
White vinegar
-
Baking soda
-
Warm water
-
Cloth or sponge
-
Old toothbrush (for crevices)
How to Use
-
Spray or soak vinegar directly on limescale.
-
Let sit 10–20 minutes (longer for heavy buildup).
-
Sprinkle a little baking soda on a damp sponge.
-
Gently scrub.
-
Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.
✨ Result: Limescale dissolves, surfaces shine.
🍳 For Kitchen Grease (Oven, Stovetop, Range Hood)
What You Need
-
Baking soda
-
Warm water
-
White vinegar
-
Spray bottle
How to Use
-
Make a thick paste of baking soda + warm water.
-
Spread it over greasy areas.
-
Let sit 15–30 minutes (or overnight for ovens).
-
Spray vinegar lightly to activate.
-
Wipe away with a damp cloth.
✨ Result: Grease lifts off easily—no harsh scrubbing.
🔥 Why This Works
-
Vinegar (acid) dissolves limescale and mineral deposits
-
Baking soda (alkaline) breaks down grease
-
Together, they loosen grime so it wipes away easily
⚠️ Important Safety Notes
-
❌ Never mix with bleach (creates toxic gas)
-
❌ Avoid vinegar on natural stone (marble, granite)
-
Test on a small area first
-
Use gloves if you have sensitive skin
🌱 Optional Boost (Kitchen Only)
-
Add a few drops of dish soap to the baking soda paste for extra grease-cutting power
-
Lemon juice can replace vinegar for a fresher scent
✅ Bottom Line
This natural solution beats bleach for limescale and grease, costs pennies, and keeps your home safer and fresher.
