White vinegar

[starrychime]

Doing an online Asda shop - looking for white vinegar that is recommended for lots of cleaning purposes. They only have white balsamic vinegar with grape must in it - is that the right stuff?

Wow, that would be the poshest natural cleaner ever. Try looking for distilled (malt) vinegar.

Oh, I've got some of that already! Is that the same stuff then?

You are after white distilled malt vinegar - you can get big 5l flagons of the stuff at wholesalers or catering suppliers.

Otherwise Waitrose sells 1 litre bottles for about 60p I think.

Yeah crazy or it's sometimes called pickling vinegar. Unless yr VERY rich starry.. it seems a bit of a waste to be buying balsamic for cleaning .

I could have the poshest sink in town OK, know what I'm looking for now, thanks. I was briefly tempted by a 500ml white vinegar spray for a fiver on Amazon tho, but this does seem a bit excessive now.

Mmm pickled onions .

£5 for a spray bottle? Blimey! I use an old Method all-purpose cleaner bottle - fill half with vinegar and top up with water. If used with a microfibre cloth you'll have the shiniest taps and surfaces you've ever seen.

you can buy it in a spray bottle from Wilkinsons for under a pound I think

Apparently brown malt vinegar ( which is easier to find and generally cheaper) is fine to use as well. Read that on Money Saving Expert site so must be true

Tis true Ellie, although when I tried it, my house smelt a bit too much like fish and chips for my liking! The white vinegar has a cleaner smell.

Yes crazy and my DH hates the smell of white vinegar so what he'd say about the malt stuff in our loo cistern I don't know!!

the stuff i buy in asda costs me 34p

distilled white malt vinegar i think
