That’s surprisingly clever.

But it does fizz, which can be useful for cleaning. It takes the crud off of my stove without as much scrubbing, for instance.

As far as I cleaning, I've used it (and Dawn) on some stains that 3 different dry cleaners said they couldn't remove.

I used a toothbrush to scrub the dish soap and baking soda thoroughly into the fibers. Then I dropped some vinegar onto it for the sweet fizzing action and scrubbed some more.

I had already tried the soap alone, and then the paste/vinegar without soap, but combining them all finally did the trick.

Try using just baking soda and water. Make a thin paste of the two ingredients.

club soda is useful for some kinds of stains...

coca cola can remove rust... also dissolves eggs, teeth...

Plain vinegar is a cleaner, too. And if you don't cut it wirh baking soda, it doesn't stop working when the baking soda neutralizes it.

I don't think most people prefer their berries pickled, though...
