21 Amazing Ways to Clean with Vinegar! (Cleaning Motivation)

[@kathrynhasbrouck9007]

Thank you!!!! I literally just had my husband buy a gallon of white vinegar the other day….. You got me hooked on cleaning! 😂 As a mother of 2, thank you!!!!!

Thank you so much for all these great videos you’ve uploaded over the years. Now I only keep white vinegar, dish soap and baking soda to clean my house and it’s more than enough. For the smell of the vinegar I just "infuse" it with apple or orange peels, so inexpensive but a real game-changer.

1 other useful tip for a sore throat, half a cup of warm to hot water( as hot as you can handle for gargling😀)then add 1 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar or white spirit vinegar and 1 teaspoon of salt or pink salt to this water, stir and gargle, it works miracles for sore throats, do this preferably after eating and minimum of twice a day, very sore throat, 3 times a day after eating😁

I have found that our modern dishwasher and washing machine warranty states that vingar can break down the rubber seals in the machine and will void the warranty if it breaks. I've seen a lot of people mention this in comments but not in the videos. I've also noticed it damaging the finish on our wooden dining table so I've stopped using it there. I suspect it's got a coating on it to protect it. I don't use it on our wood flooring or any treated surface. I really love using vinegar but I feel the warnings need to be more thorough. Hope this helps some people. Check before you use this.

[@russbear31]

Good, helpful tips. Vinegar is actually a very strong acid, so it will eventually eat away natural materials. The classic way to strip a cast iron pan for reseasoning is to soak it for only 30 minutes in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. But it's not recommended to go beyond 30 minutes because it will actually eat away and destroy the underlying iron ore. If it's strong enough to eat iron, then it will definitely destroy wood, rubber, and other materials. Use with caution.

[@fazeelalaher6250]

If u use it with water . I have oak furniture

[@ooohlaa13]

@@russbear31 thanx for pointing that out, I use it instead of rinse aid so I think what I will do is run a cycle occasionally to just rinse out the dish washer.

[@Cali-Con]

Just wondering if the washing machine is a front loader. I add 1/2-1 cup of vinegar in the fabric softener slot per load in my top loader and haven't seen any signs of seal issues as of yet. But I wouldn't know if the seals underneath the machine are deteriorating or not. I would think that the amount of vinegar I add is too diluted to harm them. What I have noticed is that is that the vinegar helps de-lint the clothes & towels makes them fresh smelling, and non-static after drying. Plus my washer never smells funky.

[@chooseausernaim2635]

Absolutely be hesitant! It breaks down the rubber washers around taps in your sink also, and can cause ‘edge creep’ on mirrors.

[@Mark-qq9cd]

My number one use is pouring a little in the bottom of the glass tea kettle to get rid of weird mineral deposits and hard water. Works so well, you don't need to add anything else, just enough vinegar to cover the bottom. 15 mins soak, dump, rinse.

[@JamieM470]

This is so wonderful. I read the other day that the average household contains 62 toxic chemicals, most of which can cause a lot of harm to children and pets. Vinegar is so inexpensive and so much safer than cleaners with ingredients you can't pronounce, and poison warnings.

[@LorenMarieP]

When you are using vinegar as a weed killer for vining weeds, you can fill a little tub (empty sour cream or take out containers work well) and poke a hole in the top and feed a vine into the hole. The vine will take up the vinegar and kill the plant - works really well for invasive morning glory!

Or poison ivy!

I put a splash of vinegar with my Dawn down my CPAP hoses to kick up the cleaning power. It truly helps to get strange scents out of the hoses that detergent may not get by itself. And, I feel safer using vinegar than bleach to clean something that I’m going to breathe through all night.

[@hislittlemrs.9235]

When I worked in produce packing the items were washed then sealed with a very light food grade wax for shipping preservation. There was no pesticide in the wax used. Many buyers asked for items to be left with blush, or bloom on, which meant no washing, no wax.

[@ooohlaa13]

the pesticides happen almost guaranteed at the farm, in place, unless organic, and even they have approved pesticides to spray and sometimes systemic in the ground so it goes through the whole food ... serious issue, worked at 2 organic farms and know this for sure.

[@sharonshaw262]

Your videos are great! I have one question. A cleaner recently told me that the mops where you use disposable or washable pads are no good because they just push the dirt around, and she prefers a mop that has (washable) microfiber strips, for tile floors. Which mop type do you like best, if you could have only one? Thanks!

[@limormarkovzki8451]

I use a microfiber (Velida) mop! I used to sell microfiber mops and they are great. The problem with chemicals on the floor is if you have pets/kids it gets on there hands or Paws! Vinegar and water and a microfiber mop is best! Wash the pad after each use!

Do you ever rinse? It seems like you would need to rinse, especially when using dish soap. Also makes me sad that I can’t use vinegar on my quartz countertops

[@ChaniqueStewart]

Great question. from experience I find If it leaves residue or is soapy to the touch it's a good sign you needed to follow up with a dry cloth or use less soap .

[@e.castlerock8454]

Great video. I was hoping to see if vinegar or a vinegar mixture was mentioned as a way to get rid of some kind of orange mold growing in the grout of my shower tiles. I now dry the tiles after every shower, but nothing cleans the mold. Also the hard water stains caused from water dripping off the shower curtain as it dries, made worse because the tub glaze is worn off. Even Lime-Away doesn't work.

[@sl4983]

Bleach

[@Youngmom68]

For a good counter cleaner, up you can put orange or lemon rind to soak in vinegar then spray as needed to clean counters.

[@ooohlaa13]

yes it really makes it smell nicer and revs up the cleaning power ... I also use this instead of rinse aid in the dishwasher because the rinse aid for me leaves a smell I can sort of taste on the glasses and dishes so I stopped using it. The vinegar works great, glasses clear. But as vegan I don't have a lot of fat or greasy things to wash so you have to experiment.

Hi ! I use vinegar all the time is cleaning. One of my favorite vinegar hacks is to wet a sponge (microwave safe) and add some vinegar to it put it in microwave for for 1 minute leave it in the microwave for about 10 min. and everything stuck inside it will wipe clean easier. Also if you have clogged drain in kitchen sinks you can pour baking soda and vinegar let set for about 20 min. and the flush with boiling hot water guaranteed to unclog drains.
