I combined the two ingredients and rubbed them on the windows. The dirt disappeared immediately, which I’d never seen before.
Many of us have found that we can clean and wash household items just as well without spending a fortune on expensive drugstore products. Using our own supplies often works out better for us, saves us money and also puts less strain on the environment. Baking soda and vinegar are great substitutes for many store-bought cleaners. They’re cheap and easy to find, and you can use them for lots of different things.
Find out how powerful peroxide can be!
It also includes hydrogen peroxide, which is very similar to water in terms of its chemical composition. The extra oxygen molecule makes it a very reactive, non-toxic substance that can be used in the home for cleaning and bleaching. So, it’s becoming more and more popular to use peroxide than store-bought products, which often contain toxic additives. It’s also useful for cleaning window panes and frames.
You can clean window frames with baking soda and peroxide.
If your windows are too dirty, wash them first with soapy water and vinegar. If they’re just dusty, spray them with a 10:1 solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water from a spray bottle and buff with paper. It’s best to do this in rows, not circles.
Hydrogen peroxide is great for cleaning window frames and those hard-to-reach corners. Dirt or mould is trickier to get off porous wood. But anti-mould and anti-bacterial peroxide can easily get into the wood and remove dirt that’s stuck in there. Just sprinkle the frames with baking soda and spray the peroxide on top to make a thin, slurry-like layer. Leave it for a bit and wipe it off with a damp cloth. The dirt will come off the frames in an instant.
Peroxide is great for cleaning metal and PVC too.
You can use a mix of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda to clean your window frames, even if they’re plastic or aluminium. However, neither plastic nor aluminium are porous materials, so water, vinegar and detergent are enough to clean them thoroughly.
If your plastics have mould or have lost their shine and need to be bleached, use a mix of baking soda and peroxide on them instead. Just a heads-up: Don’t use any abrasive materials on PVC, as you might scratch it. Also, avoid alcohol-based products. The peroxide and soda will get rid of not only the stains, but also the unwanted oxidation, and your aluminium frames will sparkle again.
