Default I use baking soda to clean just about everything.

I use baking soda to clean just about everything. It's incredibly effective if you add a bit of water, creating a paste. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit how much satisfaction I can derive from scrubbing something clean. Sometimes I think, if I can't clean it with baking soda and water it just doesn't deserve to be cleaned! What you say about it?

Best Regards,

Superpack:

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which is a mild alkali.
Sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are lots of things that can be cleaned using a paste made of baking soda and water. But, the cleaning industry is a huge business, and I find it's best to use products specifically designed to remove the kind of soil I'm trying to remove. But, that's just me.

Totally agree with you on this Nestor. I also think that it is much better to use certain products designed to clean certain things. Yes, baking soda works, but I don't want to rely much on it.
