Mixing peroxide with baking soda is a wonderful, traditional way to keep a home sparkling without the use of harsh chemicals. This gentle yet effective combination relies on simple ingredients to lift stains and brighten surfaces throughout your kitchen and bathroom.

Why This Combination Works
Deep Cleaning: The bubbling action helps lift grime from grout and crevices.

Natural Whitening: Hydrogen peroxide acts as a mild, safe bleach for sinks and tubs.

Gentle Abrasion: Baking soda provides just enough “scrub” to remove stuck-on food without scratching delicate surfaces.

A Wholesome Recipe: All-Natural Scrub Paste
This simple mixture is perfect for cleaning everything from ceramic stovetops to bathroom tiles.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Baking soda

1/4 cup Hydrogen peroxide (3%)

1 tsp Raw honey (optional, acts as a natural binder for a smoother paste)

Directions:

Combine: In a small glass bowl, mix the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide until a thick paste forms.

Enhance: Stir in the teaspoon of honey to give the paste a better consistency for vertical surfaces like shower walls.

Apply: Smear the paste onto the area you wish to clean and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Scrub & Rinse: Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the area, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Note: It is always best to mix this fresh as the peroxide loses its potency quickly once combined.
