How to Use Your Homemade Cleaner
1. For Burnt Pots and Pans
- Apply the cleaner directly to the surface.
- Let it sit for 3–5 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a sponge.
The formula helps loosen burnt residues, making them detach with minimal effort.
2. For Stainless Steel Shine
The cleaner removes:
- fingerprints
- grease
- dullness caused by water stains
Apply a small amount on a sponge, scrub lightly, and rinse.
Stainless steel regains brightness in seconds.
3. For Sinks and Faucets
Use it to:
- eliminate limescale
- remove yellowish stains
- refresh dull metal surfaces
Let the product act for a short time before rinsing for best results.
4. For Tiles and Countertops
Dilute one or two tablespoons of the cleaner in warm water for mopping or wiping down surfaces.
5. For Tough Grease
Use it undiluted directly on stovetops, oven doors, and areas exposed to oil splatters.
Tips for Best Results
- Shake gently before each use, as natural ingredients may settle.
- Use warm water when rinsing for even better cleaning power.
- Test on a small area first if using on delicate materials.
- Avoid using on natural stone (marble, granite) because citric acid may cause dullness.
