🔄 For Extra-Tough Stains: Try the Baking Soda Paste

If vinegar alone isn’t enough:

Make a paste: 2 parts baking soda + 1 part vinegar

Apply to the stain

Let sit 10–15 minutes

Scrub with the sponge

Rinse and dry

✅ This fizzy combo boosts cleaning power — great for shower doors or porcelain sinks.
