Cleaning with white vinegar

[MyDingaling]

I have bought the vinegar after reading about but I don't know what to use it for - please help!!

Removing limescale and cleaning windows.

I use it as:

Limescale remover
In spray bottle with 50% water and a drop of washing up liquid as all round spray cleaner
In softer draw of washing machine - softens and deodorizes
As prewash - deodorizes
In washing machine / dishwasher during maintenance cycle
Deodorizer for espresso / senseo drip tray - put a bit in when you've emptied and rinsed it, stops the slime too
A dish of it left in a room overnight sucks up smells

Ummm, 1000's of things really.

Thanks for that! I didn't want it to gather dust in the cupboard!

I just bought some for sweat stains on shirts... Sprayed it on and left then washed... No difference... What have I done wrong?? I thought this was going to solve my sweaty husband work shirt problem...

nobo for dhs sweaty shirts I put a cupfull of vinegar into the softener dispenser of the mashine.
dont worry the smell goes away as the shirts dry.

Thanks mousy I tend to use vinegar anyway to soften water as our is terrible here.

Try spraying them with vodka. They won't smell of alcohol (or sweat) afterward.

I sometimes soak DP's running gear (which gets v stinky!) in a mix of vinegar and water. Soak it for an hour or so, then wash as normal. It really helps.

I also soak a bit of kitchen roll in vinegar and wrap it round the base of taps, where it gets limescaley.

It's good for getting rid of limescale in kettles too.

we use it for the above and as a mirror cleaner

I do the showerheads in vinegar, it's great. Have to try the kettle next.

Where's a good place to buy cheap white vinegar? I wouldn't say it's that cheap at the supermarket.

I use cheapo malt vinegar to descale my kettle & pour the vinegar back into the bottle when I've finished. It usually lasts at least a year before it gets too full of limescale & I need to change it again.
