Today, I thought we would have a bit of fun and experiment! Who here hates having to clean those gross window track and sliding door tracks? Well now you can get your children involved and have an experiment with them!
The reaction that occurs when you combine baking soda with Vinegar is pretty neat. It foams up and breaks apart all the nasty baked on dirt and mildew, caused by condensation. The best part of this is you do not need to scrub other than the corners of the track, this solution pretty much takes care of everything else! All you need to do is give it a quick wipe after with a damp cloth.
Lets get started...
Here is what you need;
* 1/2 cup of baking soda
* 1/2 cup white vingar
* table spoon to spread the baking soda
* Some paper towel
* A cleaning cloth
* A small bucket of water
* Vacuum
* old toothbrush for cleaning
1) First, take the vacuum or broom to the track to get out any larger bits that may have been dropped in there. If you have children, you know what I mean!
2) Roll up two bits of paper towel and place inside the track on either end. This will trap the solution from going under the second door or window.
3) Spread the baking soda over the tack. If you have sections that are worst than others, place a bit more baking soda on top of that area.
4) Pour the vinegar on top of the baking soda and let the reaction do its thing. DO NOT inhale the reaction. It is not pleasant and I am sure, not the greatest to do for your lungs!
5) Let the solution do its thing for 1/2 an hour.
6) After a half hour, take warm water in your bucket with your cleaning cloth and wipe up the solution with your damp cloth. Sometimes the baked on yuck in the corners need a little final touch. If you have some yuck left in the corners, use an old tooth brush to give it a final scrub.
7) Dry the track with a dry clean cloth or some paper towel, and ENJOY your nice clean tracks!
