ZIELKO Cleaning Paste Karambola & Kaki – 500 g Baking Soda

Why choose cleaning paste with baking soda?

Who is this cleaning paste for?

• If you regularly have to scrub burnt pans, you're looking for an effective paste that quickly dissolves grease and residue.
• Households that want multifunctional cleaning products: you want one product for the kitchen, bathroom and pans — fewer bottles in the cupboard.
• People with domestic water treatment (IBA): you are looking for a biodegradable paste that does not harm bacteria.
• Fans of natural ingredients: you consciously choose baking soda instead of harsh chemicals.

Quick comparison

Instructions for use

• 1. Apply: take a small amount of paste (approx. 1 teaspoon) on a damp sponge or soft brush.
• 2. Clean: Rub the soiled surface in circular motions. For stubborn dirt: leave it on for 1–3 minutes.
• 3. Rinse: rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry if necessary (e.g. on stainless steel).
• 4. Repeat: for very stubborn dirt (burnt-on pans) — repeat the process.

Suitable for: fixtures, tiles, grout, countertops, cooktops, ovens, refrigerators, burnt pans, stainless steel, and (with caution) textiles (whites). Test in an inconspicuous area near sensitive materials.

Cleaning paste dosage table

For 8–10 g per application: 500 g ≈ 50–70 applications. For very stubborn dirt: repeat the process after allowing it to react for 1–3 minutes.

How does baking soda work against dirt?

• Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃): mildly alkaline (pH 8.4 in 50% solution) — dissolves grease and organic dirt by saponification.
• Non-ionic surfactants (<5%): emulsify grease and dirt — making it easy to rinse off.
• Mechanical action: fine grains lightly abrade — effectively dissolve burnt-on residues and discolouration without scratching (when used with a soft sponge).
• With weekly use: Visibly less grease and limescale build-up on hob, oven and bathroom fittings after 2–3 weeks of consistent maintenance.

Ingredients (INCI)

<5% non-ionic surfactants; perfume (fragrance composition); active ingredient: sodium bicarbonate. pH: approx. 8.4 (50% solution in water).

Exact composition according to the manufacturer. Perfume may contain allergens.

Environmental impact

• Biodegradable formula: ingredients break down completely in water — safe for household wastewater treatment plants (IBA) and septic tanks.
• HDPE packaging: recyclable via plastic waste (PMD) — check local guidelines.
• Production in the EU: shorter transport distances reduce the CO₂ footprint compared to products from outside Europe.
• Concentrated paste: economical to use — less packaging and transport per cleaning session compared to spray cleaners.

Safety & storage

• Warning: Causes serious eye irritation. If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing.
• If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/consult a physician.
• After use: Wash hands thoroughly. Keep out of reach of children.
• Storage: Keep the jar closed in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not mix with other cleaning products (risk of chemical reactions).

For sensitive materials (lacquered furniture, natural stone), test on an inconspicuous area first. Always follow the warnings and pictograms on the manufacturer's label.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between cleaning paste (baking soda) and kitchen cleaner spray (pH 11.4)?
  Paste: Concentrated for stubborn dirt and scrubbing (mechanical and chemical). Spray: For daily maintenance and large surfaces (chemical degreasing).
• Can I use the paste on natural stone (granite, marble)?
  Caution—baking soda can damage delicate stones. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For natural stone, use a pH-neutral cleaner.
• Does it work on rust?
  Baking soda removes surface rust stains, but it's not as effective as specialized rust cleaners (often acidic). For stubborn rust, combine it with lemon juice or vinegar.
• How long will the pot last with daily use?
  With daily use (10 g per day): approx. 50 days. With weekly use: approx. 1 year.
• Can I mix the paste with other cleaning products?
  No — never mix with acidic cleaners (e.g. bathroom cleaner), bleach or other products (risk of chemical reactions and toxic fumes).
• What is the difference between baking soda and baking soda?
  Baking soda (NaHCO₃) is milder than baking soda (Na₂CO₃). Baking soda is safe for use in the kitchen and on sensitive surfaces. Baking soda is more aggressive and not suitable for food contact.
