vinegar is an acid called ethanoic or acetic acid and baking soda is sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3). In general when a carbonate reacts with an acid, a salt, water and carbon dioxide gas are formed. In this case sodium hydrogen carbonate and ethanoic acid react together and sodium ethanoate (the salt), water and carbon dioxide are given off .
You will see a white, frothy-like bubbling occuring.
NaHCO3 + CH3COOH ---> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

I would expect better answers from people in the Chemistry section!
Vinegar is acetic acid
and Baking Soda is NaH2CO3
so the vinegar causes the Baking Soda to release Carbon Dioxide. and leaves Sodium Acetate behind.

I surely have a chum who makes her personal laundry cleansing soap and it sounds very similar for your recipe. to respond to your questions, the baking soda gained't impact the different aspects. The vinegar contained in the rinse could no longer be a situation both because the baking soda is moist and diluted if no longer spun out by ability of then. including vinegar to the wash on the start will maximum probably no longer make a distinction both because the baking soda will be diluted contained in the wash water. desire this enables.

effervescent in form of foam releasing carbon dioxide to escape
I have an OLD cat who has taken to urinating on the cement floor in my basement, in one spot only. This can get quite annoying and smelly. I had been sprinkling the area with baking soda hoping to abate the smell. To further clean up the area I decided to apply a splash of vinegar. The foaming action and a little scrubbing cleaned it up quite well!

well, baking soda :NaHCO3 and Vinegar is CH3COOH
since acetic acid is a weaker acid than carbonic acid the reaction that produce CO2 will not occur.
i could say that Kevin H, rscanner and xtragreatgal's answers are incorrect. Reaction that produce CO2 gas will only happen if u use acid that is stronger acid than Carbonic acid

There is a big mess in the kitchen and somebodies mom is going to be really mad. You are combining a base and an acid and there will be bubbling as the gas escapes.

You get bubbles of CO2 gas.
If you mix Magic Baking Powder and water you get the same thing.

H3C-COOH + Na+[HCO3]- → H3C-COO- Na+ + H2O + CO2
to compliment the other's scolding here is the equation

It causes a toxic gas...then you die like 0.15 seconds later.
lol, joke!
Nah, it just bubbles all over the place. That's what you use in those "Volcano" presentations for school...for the lava.
