Argentine Media Push DIY Cleaning Mixes Using Citrus, Vinegar and Peroxide

Outlets lean on low-cost, less harsh formulas, with some citing EPA guidance on citric acid to bolster credibility.

Overview

  • To cut kitchen tile grease, guides recommend spraying equal parts white vinegar and hot water, letting it sit 15 minutes and scrubbing, with a pinch of baking soda for stubborn spots.
  • An orange‑peel vinegar cleaner gains traction: macerate peels in white vinegar for 10–15 days, strain and spray on burners, hoods, counters and tiles to degrease and deodorize.
  • For ovens and trays, lemon is promoted as a natural degreaser that also removes odors: rub juice on surfaces, wait 10–15 minutes and wipe, optionally warming the oven on low to boost action.
  • Tile‑joint cleaning tips spotlight a paste of 100 g baking soda, 50 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide and ½ tablespoon dish soap, applied with a brush for 10 minutes to lift grime and curb mold.
  • Against wall mold and humidity stains, coverage touts a paste of ½ cup baking soda with ¼ cup 3% hydrogen peroxide, applied 15 minutes before scrubbing, with added cautions to avoid acids on marble or porous stone, never mix with bleach, and note EPA support for citric‑acid cleaners in food areas.
