Bicarb / vinegar ratio?

[Jaycee]

Just wondering the best bicarb to vinegar ratio is best to use when cleaning shower screens (or anything really!)?

Thanks

I was thinking the same thing earlier today when I looked at the shower screen after taking DS to swimming lessons

[Jaycee]

anyone have any idea?

Leckert, I've done a bit of "googling" and from what I can gather you sprinkle the bicarb on first and then spray vinegar over the top and scrub. I'm gonna give this a go, I'll let you know how I go

What you can also do is just throw a cm of vinegar in a spray bottle, make up with water. Grab some old stockings and put bicarb inside them and use to scrub screens that have been wet with the vinegar mixture

Don't forget to rinse the vinegar mixture with a cloth damp with water only.

i normally do 50/50 vinger and water.

and about 2 tablespoons of backing soda about 500ml of water.

you can put the backing soda straight on the wet surface.

Kaz, that is a great idea, I will try that next time I do my shower. I usually do it by throwing bicarb around the place then squirting it with vinegar out of a spray bottle.

For benchtops & stovetops etc I mix it in a glass jar, a few tablespoons of bicarb & then add the vinegar until I get the consistency I want. You can store any left over too, although you may need to add more vinegar when you use it next.

What a brilliant idea about putting the bicarb in some stockings, I always wondered how I could get bicarb to stick to a vertical surface without going everywhere

Cool thread! I've been wondering myself
