Where do you buy vinegar/bicarb for cleaning??

[fatsamsgrandslam]

I've been using white vinegar for a few weeks to clean toilets, showers, floors - I'm loving it. But where is the best/cheapest place to buy white vinegar in a big quantities?

Also - what about bicarbonate of soda?

TIA!

How do you use vinegar to clean these things? Does it work, and does it not make everything smell of vinegar?

(sorry to be nosy, i'm PG and worried about the crap in other cleaning products :) )

I don't know if it depends where you live... We have a chain called "Home Bargain" that sells stuff cheap otherwise I'd suss out the local cash & carry.

I get a 5ltr bottle from a Chinese supermarket for peanuts.

Bicarb any pound shop has it in boxes.

Thanks for the ideas ladies....don't have a Chinese supermarket nearby but have plenty of poundshops and home bargains too in local town so will check them out.

I'm pg too so am a bit more aware of using loads of chemicals too. You don't need much vinegar and the smell passes really quickly. You can also add a splash of lemon juice if it really bothers you. It really works as well (or better) than a lot of other cleaners - am not so green and hippyish to use something that will add to time spent cleaning! Loads of ideas on pinterest and cleaning blogs in how to use it....

Bottles of vinegar are about £1 from Wilko's. I dilute it 50/50 with water.

I get my bicarb online in enormous quantities, but I can't remember the shop name, I'm afraid.

I have bought sodium bicarbonate in bulk from Summer Naturals.
