Add Vinegar: For extra power against soap scum and limescale, add a teaspoon of vinegar (note: this will fizz!).
Use Charcoal Toothpaste: Swap white toothpaste for charcoal toothpaste for a gentle abrasive boost.
Add Hydrogen Peroxide: A few drops can enhance stain-fighting properties—especially for whitening grout or brightening bathroom tiles.
Fragrance Twist: Add tea tree oil for antimicrobial effects or lavender for a calming scent.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use this paste on all surfaces?
A: Avoid using it on soft plastics, polished stone (like granite or marble), or varnished wood, as the abrasiveness may cause damage.
Q: Is this safe for cleaning electronics or screens?
A: No. The mixture is too abrasive and moist for delicate electronics or screens.
Q: How often can I use it for cleaning?
A: Once a week for heavily-used surfaces is generally safe, but always test a small area first.
Q: Can I use any kind of toothpaste?
A: White, non-gel toothpaste is recommended. Avoid colored gels or pastes with microbeads, which may not blend well with baking soda.
