3. Can I Store Leftover Solution?
It’s best to use the solution fresh, as its cleaning power may weaken over time. If you have any leftover, keep it in an airtight container and use it within a week.
4. What If I Don’t Have a Wet/Dry Vacuum?
If you don’t have a wet/dry vacuum, use a clean cloth or towel to blot up as much of the solution as possible. You can also use a regular vacuum after the area has dried to remove any remaining baking soda.
5. How Often Should I Use This Cleaner?
For high-traffic areas, use this cleaner once a month. For less frequently used rooms, a deep clean every 3-4 months should suffice.
