Hi all,

When it's suggested to use Vinegar for cleaning........ are they talking
about white or brown vinegar? or does it not matter?

Dunno. I always use white vinegar, cause I can get it in large sizes
for cheap.

White. The apple vinegar (brown) is quite expensive for cleaning.
Either will work, though. I buy the white vinegar by the gallon (for
cleaning), the brown vinegar by the quart (for cooking and salads).

That's strange. They cost the same where I shop. Apple cider vinegar has
slightly more sugar (5.9g/100g) than distilled vinegar (5g/100g). I would
think that as a cleaner, less sugar is better.

Try to always get white vinegar (or preferably acetic acid).

white


It is great for windows and floors
also great for washing your car to neutralize rock salt (if you live in
Canada, for instance:)

Vinegar will not "neutralize" salt, nor is it a good choice to wash a
car (it could promote rusting!). If your community uses a lot of road
salt, place a lawn sprinkler under your car for 5 minutes to rinse off
the salt. However, vinegar is a good item for dissolving
calcium/mineral buildup around faucets and in coffee makers.

Plain ol' white vinegar. It's amazing how many things it can be used for!
And how heap it is! I paid $1.59 for a gallon the other day; since I rarely
use it at full-strength, I basically get two gallons of an all-natural
cleaner for $1.60!!

I've been using it for a bunch of stuff in my all-natural cleaning business,
and for some reason never had tried it on glass shower doors until about two
weeks ago. I can't believe how well it works to get the soap scum off! I
carry a spray bottle of 50/50 vinegar/water all the time; spray generously
on the glass, let it sit a few minutes if super-grimey, wipe off with a
cotton cloth, and buff-dry with another dry cotton cloth.

A quick hint in case the smell is off-putting to you: add a few drops of an
essential oil into the bottle (I'm partial to orange). Helps make the smell
a little more bearable (though the vinegar smell does dissipate quickly).
Give the spray bottle a little shake before you spray!
