Generally, mixing baking soda and vinegar for cleaning action is silly unless you actually need the movement from the reaction. Vinegar is a weak acid, good for cleaning lime scale. Baking soda is a weak alkali, good for dissolving organic material. If they’re mixed, they just form CO2 and a salt, sodium acetate. My working rhyme is “Acids for lime. Bases for grime. Never apply more than one at a time.” …because they neutralize each other, and the rhyme may help discourage people from mixing household chemicals and accidentally releasing chlorine or chloramine gas..
My gf cleaned the rubbish bin with heaps of vinegar, decided she needed something stronger, and poured some bleach in... We all learnt a valuable chemistry lesson that day.
@@Pinpadprompts oh god, chlorine gas is incredibly toxic. I'm glad you got lucky
@@Pinpadprompts seem your gf is suicidal lol
@@danthovict381 in her defence bleach and vinegar are two very common laundry products, surprising that the reaction is so dramatic. I had to yeet the bin out the door and the whole house smelt like a swimming pool.

I use oven cleaner to clean my tub, I spray it on and leave it sit, it could be sitting for 3 hours depending on how dirty your tub is and when you clean it out your tub is very clean and super white. beware of spraying it to close beside or on your bathtubs caulk it will make it peel i' ve done that before but not anymore.
I have used oven cleaner on bottom of pots and the bath tubs also.
What's your favorite cleaning tip? Are you going to try any of these?

I used to use the vinegar/salt combo to clean pennies with my grandma when I was little. I don’t remember the exact measurements she used but she would dissolve the salt in some vinegar then we’d drop a bunch of pennies in and let them soak for a few minutes. It was a really pointless activity but I always had a lot of fun doing it.
Definitely less pointless activity then ipods, phones, online games... Kids today are missing out a lot.

Not sure if you've covered it before, but the baked-on crud on metal is often easier to remove with Barkeeper's Friend - it's actually an acid made from rhubarb Apply a layer, get it wet ish, let it sit and then scrub it a bit, let it sit, scrub off and it's done Does amazing things for stainless steel sinks imo
Barkeepers friend is excellent. We use it in many ways and areas in getting new homes looking good for the move in and in remodeling.
better to simply buy phosphoric acid. It will do the same thing and will cost much less. I can buy a kilo of phosphoric acid or Lye for 1.00
@@boyar1978 the oxalic acid in barkeepers friend is much safer than concentrated phosphoric acid tho, which is why it’s also used in evapo rust as a safer alternative
For baking sheets too??
@@gerdsfargen6687 I'd just do the part that the food touches - if it's all dark elsewhere it absorbs more heat (infrared and such)
Placing ice cubes on carpet dents brings them out as well. Once they have melted and dried, vacuuming straightens out the fibres. Much easier if you have a lot of dents to fix (e.g. when moving house)
I do a lot of cleaning, and restoring things, so I've had to deal with rust on many types of objects. I've done a lot of research and experimentation to get a better understanding of rust, metal, and the processes used for dealing with rust on metal surfaces. Shout out to my dad, who is a mechanic, for supplying me with as much rusty metal as I needed to feel like I understood what was going on! If you're goal is to remove rust from an object by soaking it in anything, you need to first take off whatever you can using a scouring pad, steel wool (or other metal scrubbing pad), or a wire brush. Getting off what you can before soaking makes it easier for the solution you're soaking the object in to get to the area where the rust is actually touching the metal. This means that the soak will take less time to work, but the trade-off is that it takes more effort before the soak. If I'm specifically wanting to convert the rust, then I don't do the above process, because removing the rust could cause putting on the surface of the object. The rust crust has to stay on the object, because it has to be there for the conversion process to turn it back into metal. Removing the rust crust before soaking or coating the object in the rust converter causes unsightly pitting on its surface, which isn't ideal, especially if you are restoring the object. It's always important to remember that cleaning rust off of an object is different from converting it. The preparation of the object is going to depend on which one you are trying to do.
yoo! this is really cool! thank you :)
Thank you so much. This was profound. How about if I want to restore the kitchen sink? Some parts have rusty stains
@@amazinggraceukpai3783 what materials are the stained parts made of? I grew up in a house that had rust in the water, so I'm pretty familiar rust stains.
@@miathemouse5659 stainless steel
@@amazinggraceukpai3783 How I would handle this would differ based on whether it is a kitchen sink or not. Most stainless steel sinks are kitchen sinks, so I'm going to assume that it is. With kitchen sinks, I prefer to start off using products that are food safe, before moving to harsher stuff. Just keep this one thing in mind: don't use steel wool to remove rust from your sink, because you can scratch it up, which will make it harder to clean, in the future. You should use a soft bristled brush, a soft to medium bristled toothbrush, or cloth on this project. Personally, I keep an electric toothbrush and an electric face cleaning brush for cleaning projects. These are things that I've upgraded from, not stuff that I buy specifically for cleaning. Electric scrub brushes are also available on the market, but don't always have a range of bristle types to choose from. Whatever type of brush you use, just remember that it's the scrubbing motion that does the cleaning, not the downward pressure; excessive downward pressure just wears out the bristles. Depending on how large and bad the stain is, I would start with a paste made of baking soda mixed with a water and small amount of Dawn. Apply this paste to the stained areas, and allow it to sit for an hour or so, then grab a soft bristled brush (use a toothbrush for smaller parts, and to get into crevices) and scrub in circles. Soaking the stained parts in vinegar for a couple of hours before scrubbing is another good method. Barkeeper's Friend has a liquid cleaning product and a powder one. The liquid one is pretty much all that by my brother-in-law uses for rust in his sink; he swears by the stuff. This is relevant because he has a habit of leaving his cast iron cookware in the sink for days while continuing to use that same sink (I know, but it's not my job to remind him that he's messing up). I've never actually used this one, because when I'm staying over, I wash the cast iron pans right after dinner, to prevent them from rusting. As a result, you'll have to follow the instructions on the bottle. I prefer to save harsh chemicals until nothing else works, because my lungs aren't great, but if none of the above works, there are products made for removing rust and rust stains. I've used these, but only in the bathroom, so I'm not sure what is best for stainless steel. However, I typically start researching cleaning products by reading reviews on Amazon, just keep in mind that many of the best products get bad reviews from people who aren't using the product correctly and then get upset that it doesn't work. I really hope this is helpful. Good luck with that sink!
Some people: “Look at what coke does to rust and you put it in your body” Me: Yeah have you seen what hydrochloric acid does to stuff and it’s in your stomach too lol
Exactly 😂
Sodium is a volatile element, chlorine which is another dangerous element for us, combine to make table salt. People are just dukh and don't understand how the world works Coke isn't good you, but it's not because of the carbonated water or acid, it's because of the sugar
@@rudrasingh6354 ofcourse processed or added sugars are always harmful for body
so since you have acid in your stomach are you going to swallow some molten metal?
@@ravenravstopbanningmeyt1034 that’s not the same thing. Our body stomach lining is designed to withstand the acid. Molten would burn you severely before reaching your stomach just as hydrochloric acid would. Soda is nowhere near as strong as hydrochloric acid so the lining can handle that as well
I really like the emphasis in this video about it being a real used pan, and a real test to see if it works. The other channels just try to make something that LOOKS satisfying but isn't real.
Right! So true
With regards to the kettle, I found out that you can cut a handful of lemons 🍋 or lime (you can even add together) throw it into the kettle, boil, bring it to the boil and let it sit for an hour or so. Voila kettle descaled. I found this out myself lol
Yes that's citric acid, it's better tho to use dry one. It's sold in any supermarket near baking section. Adding it into hot water helps descale, so for example you can pour a pack down the drain and add a teapot of hot water if you need descaling pipes too.
A place I worked at in the 70's wanted to treat a few tonnes of rusted reo bar and angle iron. They dug a long trench and lined it then filled with the steel and acid. The union shut it down saying it was dangerous. The company pumped out the acid and replaced it with coke , the neat stuff they use in the dispensers, it worked perfectly. Can't remember how long they soaked it, maybe a week.
Coke vs rust is unbeatable. Used to do industrial cleaning for jeep and we had to remove rust from condensation chambers. Clr, industrial acids and cleaners couldn't touch the rust. Tried some cherry coke as a joke. That's all we used after that.
So what damage coke does your gut ?
@@donaldstrubhar4697 Coke shouldn’t do much damage besides what any other acidic food would. The reason Coke cleans things well is because it’s quite acidic and also foams and bubbles, which can help to agitate.
@@donaldstrubhar4697 it'd be the equivalent of saying water is dangerous because it is the main ingredient in many biological weapons and a part of atom bombs.

I think some one has a lot of shares, in white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. Salts been used to scout pots for a centuries. Removes blood from cloth too.
For the burnt pan at the beginning, put it in the oven on low(100C) and fill it with baking soda and water. Leave it for ca 30min or so, once some of the water starts evaporating a bit. Depending on how dirty it is you may have to repeat a couple times with fresh water but you won't need a lot of elbow grease to clean it.
also, put some washing soap and lemon juice in a pan or what have you, heat it up untill it boils and starts to foam. and use sponge to remove hard rock grease
😦😕☺😉😄😃😄😃😀😁😁it's cool so cool
My tip for burnt trays is to fill it up with hot water and lay a dishwasher tab overnight inside. Trust me the next day it will be very easy to clean
you can just use some citric acid and scrub it in, use baking soda afterwards scrub it in, rinse after, if not in use, use some mineral oil to preserve
my dogs love dog
about the coke cleaning rust, as some have said vinegar works really well too, but both are usually better suited for an ocassional tiny piece you cant really scrub with a wire brush, for instance i found that trick really useful for tiny screws
I feel the need to point out that the limescale dissolving using acid scales with temperature. So just fill your kettle to the minimum mark with the cheapest vinegar you can find and set the kettle to boil. Instantly clean on the inside. If your faucet nossles are clogged up, put them in a bowl and pour the hot vinegar over them when you empty the kettle. Then they get cleaned as well. Double whammy!
4:16 "I don't think I'm gonna be using coke again" Yeah they all say that
🤣
For the baking soda and vinegar you need to make it into a thick paste with water first, and then wait for it to dry. Then once it’s dry, spray it with vinegar from a spray bottle and scrub. I use this method to clean my stove all the time
I've used salt with lemon halves to clean copper using the lemon half as the scrubber, works great. You do need to follow it up with a polish though as it leaves a dull finish. But considerably less work than just using polish alone.
With a lot of these cleaning jobs, it's necessary to know what kind of mess you are cleaning. For instance, baking soda and vinegar will remove carbon calcium or lime. The pan you had... was primarily burnt on oil/grease. You would need to find a degreaser (I'm unaware of any hacks besides buying a degreaser, but google probably knows... I know lemon juice helps some). The mess they had on their pan was just burnt on food... probably primarily carbon. A tip for neutralizing rust (besides just using CLR) would be that if you soak your pliers, put it in an airtight bottle or jar. Particularly with coke, carbonation is a catalyst... so after your coke flattens, you're wasting your time. Particularly with that bowl, the coke probably went flat in an hour.
Good info right there

For the baked on crust, you use oven cleaner and cover it all with plastic wrap - let it sit for an hour or so. Seen it on a cleaning channel on KZhead, works ABSOLUTE wonders and afterwards its as good as new!
The baking soda and vinegar thing for oven pans (and ovens) does work, sorta. I use a paste of dish liquid and baking soda with a scouring sponge. Then add the vinegar, wait for the fizzing to subside, then wipe up. Works beautifully but does require some actual soap and some elbow grease.
2:18 This is actually right. Im a coin collector. Sometimes i could find pretty old coins at gardens. As you can except, they are always being very rusty. Vinegar and salt mixture is actually getting rid of all rust.
I wouldn’t worry with copper, but when you use the vinegar+salt method on steel coins, it would be best to dry it thoroughly and rub it with oil. It will prevent further rusting.
Really!? Can’t wait to try this
I use white vinegar all the time! It's an extremely useful thing. It makes a terrific fabric softener, especially on towels, since it has no water repellant chemicals that commercial fabric softeners have. I came across a site with the many uses of white vinegar. It was a real eye opener. I always have gallons of it in my laundry room.
In the field to clean the bottoms of our mess tins we used to use the issued tea bags and worked a treat. With machine guns we experimented with Coca-Cola leaving the heavily carbon encrusted gas parts in it over night as we’d put clean parts we had spare in. It sometimes took a couple of refills but it worked and the carbon was a soft gloop easily wiped off. Makes you wonder what it does inside us.
Cleaning tarnished and baked on spots on a stainless steel frying pan or pot, you can use the old chef trick by heating the pan or pot up, pretty hot than dumping white vinegar in. While the vinegar boils away scrape the pan with your spatula or brillo on a stick or whatever and it will look new again...old chefs trick.
Salt is a good tip for cleaning a lot of utensils and pans. Mostly because salt acts as an abrasion that won't damage the non stick finish on a pan. It also helps season the pan a bit as well, but, mostly cleaning off.
Also helps clean oxidation from copper
I use it to wash bottles on the inside, by shaking them with a bit of salt and water. Works like a charm.
For copper, combine salt, flour, and vinegar, it makes a paste that sticks much easier to copper, you can smear this paste in a thick layer over the entire thing and wrap it in cling-film and leave it to sit for a day or two. Come back and parts of the paste will have turned green, but you can rinse the paste off and give it a small scrub and it'll be almost like new.
From what I recall the baking soda and vinegar needs lemon juice as well. Otherwise as a light cleaner it works fine, but that was never a myth in the first place that's a very old and proven cleaning method. The salt hack can be done with several things since it's basically expostulating the surface which the scrubber side of some sponges aren't textured enough to do by themselves you can usually use steel wool or similar to do the same thing though may need some more scrubbing to get the same effect.
I find that adding table salt to the baking soda and vinegar helps with cleaning as it gives a texture when "wiping", (tho it still takes good old ELBOW GREASE to get the tougher areas)
4:23 this is official, dave said bloons

if you want to clean about 100 percent of the rust off those pliers, fill a cup with vinegar and put the pliers in the vinegar for 24 hours (48 hours works even better) and then get a toothbrush or sponge or just something to scrub with and scrub all of the rust off, it works and ive used it several times on pliers, and if they are stuck, put wd40 or oil
coke and vinegar then wd40
If you want to make your baking trays and cookie sheets look brand new, you can put them in a self cleaning oven during its cleaning cycle. Amazing results.

7:16 cleaning tip : use a toothpick to pick the holes on the shower head. Then open the shower and the dirty things and grime will pour out. Wait a few seconds and the water will be much cleaner than before. You’re welcome. 😊
Thank you
The sheet tray should actually be kept 'dirty', or seasoned as it is actually called, much like a cast iron pan. Dark trays retain more heat and thus are really good for roasting veggies. Do not use seasoned trays for baked goods though, then the bottom will burn. Use new shiny trays for baking, and old seasoned ones for roasting
Yes....VERY OLD cleaning tip....when I was in the US Navy we had to polish various brass objects...if they were highly tarnished, we would soak them overnight in a container full of Coca-Cola....but double-strength Grape Kool-aid worked better. It dissolved the surface patina (oxidation) and made it easier to create a shiny finish.
@@KitchenWitchery Get cheap off-brand powder and make it 2 to 5x stronger.... items must soak....not for spray on....do a test first
at that point just extract the hydrochloric acid from your stomach and soak the objects in it
WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. It's a cleaning solution that is really good at getting into small cracks/crevices.
As you said it is purely reaction with carbonate with phosphoric acid in cola or 6 per cent acetic acid as vinegar. This may help to remove rust. There must be strong detergent along with it to lift these rust.
Leaving something in a bath of lemon juice is another great way to remove lime scale. The vinegar may be faster, but you can simply walk away from the part soaked in lemon juice and return a half hour late to a nicely cleaned metal part. Lemon juice also smells pleasant; vinegar not so much.
Lemon juice will damage paint… Citrus based paint strippers are a thing…
Vinegar smells pleasant imo
@@dragonicbladex7574 I hate it. Even the smell of condiments makes me sick. It's probably one of those genetic things. I smell a lot of nasty smells others can't.
Use dryer sheets and hot water let sink in pan for a few minutes and it will clean out that pan
😮
Applying heat when using baking soda aids the process. I clean my burnt on pans by boiling water in the pan and applying baking soda once it is boiling and let it boil for a few minutes more, then a light scrub to remove any loosened dirt. Rinse and repeat until the pan is clean which for me usually means repeating the process once or twice. Burnt on stuff that hides in any scratches on the pan, but usually is invisible to the naked eye, speeds up the procces of building up new layers of visible burnt on stuff. That invisible burnt on stuff is gone too.
Baking soda when heated becomes washing soda, more powerful.
Thanks everyone for sharing!
There's a restoration channel that uses the salt & vinegar trick to clean both copper and brass. He adds flour to thicken the mix into a paste and wraps the parts with cling wrap overnight... With great results
For burnt on stuff, I use just vinegar or a 1:2 vinegar to water mix that I boil before putting it on and scrubbing straight away. To remove burnt fats, I believe what you want is the acid, and the baking soda just neutralizes it. Perhaps, if you wait for the acid to attack it first and give it half an hour before adding the soda, then the bubbles from the CO2 might agitate it and loosen it. Same with the kettle, a 1:2 vinegar to water solution boiled thoroughly disolves any lime (? English isn’t my first language) accumulation not only at the bottom but all over the kettle including the spout, especially pouring it out after. Plus with the added heat, after just one rinse with colder water, the vinegar is completely gone. Heat does wonders for any cleaning work.
My best tip: when I have a large item with stuck on stuff, but I don't want to take up a whole sink to soak it, I just lay wet paper towels in or on the item and let it soak for 20 min or so that way. If stuff is still stuck, I just re-wet the towels as needed. This works great for getting bug smashes off motorcycle helmets!
Might I ask does this method work on rust and if so what chemicals do you use
This is what I call working smarter, not harder. Thanks for the tip; I'm writing this down for later.
Lysol blue toilet bowl cleaner is the best rust remover I’ve ever used. So effective, its kind of scary.

Baking soda and vinegar which cause a foaming reaction does work to unclog drains. I tried it myself one time. It breaks up the dirt, hair and so on to get things flowing again. Try it.

Soda crystals washing up liquid, boiling hot water. Leave to soak for an hour. Then, use a wiry scourer, and hey presto a nice clean pan 😊
Yes , it contain phosphoric acid. At the resulting reaction of iron oxide with phosphoric acid is a coating of iron phosphate that helps prevents further rusting
I thought that the copper pan trick was really cool. I will have to use that sometime.
@crita l
If making vinegar based spray, keep in mind, that the sprayer should not have any silicone based parts (gaskets etc.) since vinegar makes silicone expand/swell
I'm still looking for a cleaning agent for the accumulated stove top burns. 😪 I boil a 10% acidity vinegar to clean off lime buildup from the kettle. I let the vinegar cool off before pouring it to a spray bottle which I use for cleaning sinks.
Soda vinger and cooking it work well for me. It has to be recently burnt i think not old burns. Maybe with salt aswell.

Tip for cleaning dishes (like art class tempura paint dishes) add more of the same substance, and this will cause clinging and then this may help. To clean residue: use the rough side of a sponge. Another tip is to use vinegar to descale shower heads. Another tip: use a carpet rake to help soften carpets. Adding shampoo will also help. I do chores, too.
use oven cleaner to clean baking pan . salt is corrosive to copper . make sure to get it washed off thoroughly . soak rusty pliers in white vinegar to remove rust . soaking in 50% white vinegar + 50% peroxide works better/faster to remove calcium deposits .

I have always cleaned my sterling silver jewelry in any type toothpaste and it really takes the tarnish and the blackened part of well. Seen that tip on tv back in the the early 90s and was very impressed with it. Especially on gold and silver combos where reg jewelry cleaner is not recommended on silver so i use it for an old herringbone bracelet that's braided with bothe sterling silver and 14k gold and makes the silver just shine like new gold too even though it never tarnished anyways makes it clean again.
I cleaned my oven with red wine vinegar and baking soda but my method was a bit different. I poured the baking soda onto the open door and floor of the oven then added the vinegar but only enough to form a slightly too wet paste. I let it sit for 10 minutes then added a bit more baking soda. I then used paper towels to slide the paste around as an abrasive. There are pros and cons. I prefer not using chemicals like oven spray and there’s zero smell. You don’t even have to use gloves technically though it’s messy so I do. The downside is it’s kind of a pain to clean it all up. The paste gets into groves and is a bit of a pain to get out. It does work though and works the same on pans. With pans obviously it’s easy to scrub then just dump the stuff in the trash and rinse vs the oven.
coke from a bottle doesnt have enough phosphoric acid in it unless you have a week to wait.... the copper pot trick you showed works because vinegar doesnt immediatly dissolve salt and the salt works as a mild abrasive while the vinegar reacts with the oxidized copper. my grandmother used this for silver as well.
Coke doesn't work as a cleaning agent. There is some food coloring used in it, so it will stain what ever you want to clean before the dirt/grime even budge.
Coke isn't a cleaning agent. It will break rust but it would take a very long time to see a difference. Mainly it would be used on batteries (since the corrosion and acidic grime builds up on the terminals) but just use a cleaning agent. It's more straightforward. To use

I used brown sodas to clean grimy coins as a kid. The low amount of acid makes it good for small objects where all they really need is something gentle to loosen up the grime. Also, now that I'm older, it seems obvious that when looking for a fun project to do with a little kid, shining up some pennies with soda would be way preferable over using an actual cleaning product.
I used the carpet-iron hack a couple of years ago, not aware, that my carpet actually is made from 100% polyester. I used high heat and burned it.... Well... I MELTED it. But hiding the melted bit underneath the table helped 😂😂😂
Great video! Thank you for sharing this.
5:44 This one works even better with boiling vinegar. My mom does this a lot
I do also, stinks the house out though, but it’s amazing…
Tip for removing coffee stains from mugs. Shake some salt in, a few drops of water, and rub with your fingers. It comes off in seconds.
I work in a hotel and we have an indoor swimming pool which gets really humid during the winter time and it causes anything metal to get an obnoxious amount of rust. I always use a mix of CLR (the grey bottle) and dish soap. Just let it sit and absorb into the rust for 1-2 minutes and then use a microfiber rag to remove the rust. Remember to rinse it afterwards because it will leave a very strong nose assaulting smell if you don't
Vinegar and salt will shine it, but it tarnished again as it dries. I tried it with pennies. Vinegar cleabs hard water, yes. I have used it on my windshield. I have also used Diet Coke/Coje.to clean the windshield.
I can't believe the level of quality you've kept all these years. Really nice, a real og of KZhead hacks
For cleaning copper, you can substitute the vinegar with lemon juice. Works just as well as vinegar. I just Tak half a lemon covered with salt and scrub the copper with it.
The smell of vinegar makes me vomit. I'm thinking of buying pure citric acid to use instead of vinegar for all these kind of stuff. But it might be overkill, lemon juice is basically just diluted citric acid that still very strong
@@magusperde365citric acid is not overkill, trust me. It is cheap, used in baking so safe, and it descales anything immediately without the vinegar smell. It's still a weak acid after all. Just deactivate it with soda if you want it to stop eating at metal (no need with teapots, just wash it through with clean water).
@@KasumiRINA i mean overkill vs just lemon juice. But I think what I said was stupid anyway and you're right. I also bought 80% lactic acid recently because I was curious and whrn my curiousity was satiated I just put it in my depression nest toilet and it was the damn best toilet cleaner I ever used. Citric acid would probably do the same but cheaper
Grease burnt onto a baking tray to the point that it is a type of plaque will require extreme measures for example a propane torch but do it in a well ventilated area.
Love this channel when it to cleaning hacks based on the comments ,thank you for sharing 👌
The difference is that usually when baking with the same tray for a long time (usually a year) can leave stains to the tray because of the heat. it won’t come off anytime soon compared to one that has been used for probably a month or two because the heat got to the pan more then the one you used the shortest. there isn’t really any hack to getting rid of the stains except for getting a completely new pan.
I cleaned out a pot w/ burnt on rice using vinegar-soda method. It works better than soap for that kind of stuff, but I think Dave's use of it may have failed due to it being different kind of grime.

Just soda would have worked fine. Pretty sure its mostly the soda
Instead of vinegar which smells bad, about 1-2 tbsp (18-25g) citric acid powder to a liter of water works better, and doesnt smell as bad. For polish, using green rouge or straight up metal polish then following up with WD-40 does a better job than toothpaste. Tip: applying some paste wax or car wax on metal and or glass surfaces can help prevent water stains from happening. Windows take 6-8 months before needing a clean, and waxing the sink every other month keeps it shiny even without scrubbing.
Bakin soda and vinegar works very well is my experience. Same with the coke for rust removal
