Tried making my own cleaning spray with vinegar and got a surprise

I mixed vinegar and baking soda in a spray bottle last weekend to clean my shower tiles after seeing a DIY TikTok. It foamed up crazy fast and shot the lid off, hitting my ceiling fan in my bathroom in Austin. Guess the science behind acids and bases is real. Has anyone else had a homemade cleaner go sideways like that?

Did you actually clean anything before you made the mess, or was the reaction all you got? The whole point of mixing those two is they cancel each other out, so you're left with mostly water and a little salt. People see the foam and think it's working, but it's really just fizzing and doing nothing useful for the grime.

Vinegar and baking soda is a classic volcano move, not so much for cleaning...

Tbh, my friend used that combo on her oven and ended up with a sticky mess.
