    Is it okay to use apple cider vinegar?

    Hi Nisha,

    The vinegar is used basically as an acid to cause a reaction to the baking soda. Having said that, apple cider vinegar should work, however, it would probably be a lot cheaper to use regular white vinegar.

    Can I use baking powder in place of baking soda?

    Hi Pavithra,

    Baking powder has baking soda in it so it should work, but you would be wasting the other ingredients in the powder…you only need the soda.

    Try oxyclean powder. Available at any big stores.
    Make sure you soak it well before washing it.

    Sorry, we don’t have an incinerator and are not sure if you can use this.

    I’m unable to view the tip, due to certain things being blocked on my computer at work. Based on comments, I can deduce that vinegar and baking soda are the ingredients. Can you reply by email to give the combination and proportion and any other ingredients.

    Hi Carol,

    There is no exact measurement. Just pour approx 1/4 cup of baking soda and follow it with about a cup of vinegar…any variation in amounts will probably still work
