If you clean with vinegar...

jensriot · September 2013

Will you please share your recipes with me? I am ready to embrace vinegar for just about anything now. I put it in my laundry and love it.

I picked up a spray bottle from the dollar store, and fill it half with vinegar (they sell giant containers at Costco), half with water, and then add a few drops of dish washing liquid. Voila! I use it on absolutely everything.

I do the same, too

Same. You can add a few drops of an essential oil if you want to cut down the vinegar smell.

Ooo! CnA! Good idea!

I do an old windex bottle 1/3 Dawn, 2/3 vinegar, 5 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops grapefruit seed extract

Thank you! And the essential oils is a great idea. Yay!

Walls, toys, floors, etc. (pretty much every thing)- vinegar and a few squirts of blue dawn dish soap

add some baking soda to the above to clean grout

wash smelly towels, gym clothes, etc. first in vinegar and then in baking soda

I clean the toilets with baking soda and vinegar too.

I mostly just use equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle.

You can also use just water and add drops of thieves or tea tree oil. I LOVE the smell of thieves oil. It's a better smell than vinegar and it cleans just as well. I put 3/4 spray bottle of water with 6-8 drops of thieves.

I do about 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar for just regular cleaning. For showers I do half vinegar and half dawn. It works like a charm in the shower. It works for other things also but is tricky because of how much it suds.

I forgot about the shower cleaner. Heat it up in the microwave for a minute and it cleans well.

Oh yeah, you do have to heat the vinegar before adding dawn so it will mix properly.

Same minus the dishwashing soap, though that's probably not a bad idea.

It's soooo cheap and works wonderfully.

For tougher stuff I use baking soda and spritz the vinegar/water solution over it.
