I cannot find it. Sainsburys Asda and Tesco only have the White malt vinegar. Tried Wilkos but no joy. I want to make my own cleaner but can only find the bloody malt stuff!
Any ideas??

Amazon, search white vinegar for cleaning. Wonderful stuff!

OpenMe · 04/04/2016 15:49

why can't you use distilled white malt vinegar? I always do

Is it not the same thing?
I've always used the distilled stuff.

Grumpyoldblonde · 04/04/2016 15:51

Oh I do too Openme 39p from Tesco. Actually does the no malt one not smell? I hate the smell of vinegar but love the cleaning effect (on glass in particular)

dementedpixie · 04/04/2016 15:52

Just use the distilled white stuff, it does the same job

Wilko do a spray bottle

OpenMe · 04/04/2016 15:54

Actually, there's no such thing as "vinegar" is there? It must be malt vinegar, cider vinegar, wine vinegar, rice vinegar mustn't it? What do you want your vinegar made from OP? I think Dragnboysmum must be right and it's the same thing?

Wilko sell it in a spray bottle. Diy / hardware stores. Pound shops.

I would like to know the answer too - DH loves vinegar to descale and clean stuff, but the smell!

Wilkos do in in their cleaning section in a spray bottle.

OpenMe · 04/04/2016 15:59

Sigh, I've been obliged to Google now and I'm going to stick with my 38p malt vinegar in a plant spray bottle rather than the "special" cleaning vinegar which I -bet is the same thing-- at £4.29 on Amazon Shock

OP you found the right stuff. Distilled vinegar and white vinegar are synonymous.

kansasmum · 04/04/2016 16:55

I thought malt vinegar was barley based and the white vinegar wasn't therefore stinks less. I read somewhere that malt vinegar can wreck the finish in taps etc but maybe it's a ploy to make me spend £££!!!
So the clear distilled malt vinegar will clean my glass and will the fish and chip shop smell soon dissipate?!!!

yes and yes Smile

I use the stuff that Wilkos sell in a spray bottle. The smell goes in a few moments.
