Cleaning with white vinegar

What can I clean with white vinegar around the house?

If there’s one thing I always have stocked up in my cupboard… it’s white vinegar.

It’s affordable, natural, and honestly one of the most powerful cleaners you can use around your home. From cutting through grease to tackling limescale and freshening fabrics it really does it all.

And the best bit? No harsh chemicals needed. Let’s get into how I use it 👇

1. The Everyday Multi-Purpose Spray

This is my absolute staple I use it daily!

• Fill a spray bottle with half white vinegar and half water

• Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to freshen the scent

✦ White Vinegar
✦Glass Spray Bottle
✦ Lemon Essential Oil

Use it on:

• Windows

• Mirrors

• Worktops (non-stone)

• General wipe downs

Pair it with a good cloth and you’ll get that streak-free finish every time:

✦ Microfibre Glass Cloth

2. Bathroom & Kitchen Power Moves

This is where vinegar really shines 👌

Limescale Removal

If your taps or showerhead are looking a bit crusty:

• Soak kitchen roll in vinegar

• Wrap it around the area

• Leave for an hour

• Scrub and rinse

✦ Kitchen Roll
✦ Grout Brush

It melts limescale away with hardly any effort!

Toilet Freshen-Up

• Pour a cup of vinegar into the toilet

• Leave overnight

• Flush in the morning

🚨 What NOT to Clean with Vinegar

As much as I love it, it’s not for everything!

Avoid using vinegar on:

• Marble or granite

• Hardwood floors

• Electronic screens

It can damage the surface and dull the finish so always double check first.

SAVVY TIP 💡

Don’t worry about the smell it disappears as it dries!

And if you use it as much as I do, it’s so much cheaper to buy in bulk:

✦ Bulk White Vinegar

It lasts for ages and saves you buying loads of different products.

3. Carpet & Laundry Hacks

This is where vinegar really earns its place 👇

Carpet Stains

• Mix vinegar with a drop of washing up liquid

• Gently work into the stain

• Blot with a clean cloth

✦ Washing Up Liquid

It helps lift stains without damaging fibres.

Laundry Booster

• Add half a cup of vinegar to your wash

It helps:

• Soften clothes naturally

• Brighten whites

• Remove odours (perfect for towels and gym wear!)

Lynsey’s Final Tip ✨

White vinegar is one of those products that once you start using properly, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
