+1 "abrasive action of the brush does most of the work", most people don't know or forget this.

| Sep 1, 2015 at 14:07 | comment | added | Eric | It's certainly your position to have, but I don't see a scientifically sound reason to a gram of baking soda spit into the dirt and mixed up with your foot as something bad. Rain water is a weak acid that quickly hastens the breakdown of sodium bicarbonate; it's just not empirically relevant in even a high traffic area. | |
