- ½ cup baking soda
- 2–3 tablespoons water (or mild dish soap for extra grease-fighting power)

- Apply to surfaces such as countertops, sinks, or tiles using a sponge or cloth.
- Gently scrub, then rinse with water.
- Wipe dry with a clean towel.
Why It Works
- Baking soda’s mild abrasiveness lifts dirt and grime without scratching.
