Ingredients You’ll Need
Okay, grab your notepad (if you can find it under the piles of other “important” papers) and jot down these ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda (this one’s optional, but who doesn’t love a good fizz?)
- Fresh fruits and veggies (the greener, the better!)

Now, are you ready to turn your kitchen into a cleaning lab? Let’s do this!
