Well, my friend, let me introduce you to my BFF in cleaning...
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
'Cuz it's seriously gonna change your life...
You're ready?
Okay... here it is
I know, you're like, seriously? Vinegar? Yup, vinegar. I use it for:
- Washing my hardwood floors Fill bucket with hot water, add a generous splash of white vinegar, and mop away. Leaves floors squeaky clean and shiny.
- Washing my tile and vinyl floors. Same instructions as above, same results.
- Washing anything that's dirty. :-) A combo of hot water and vinegar removed years of gross food and who-knows-what buildup from my refrigerator.
- Removing the smell of paint from a freshly painted room. When you have finished painting, set out a bowl full of undiluted vinegar. Leave it overnight and in the morning you will wake up to a paint fume free room.
So basically, you eliminate multiple, pricey floor cleaners, clean in more green, health conscious way and it actually relives the wallet. A gallon of vinegar costs me less than $2.00, lasts me at least a month, and my house is so clean! If you don't believe me, here's the proof. The Rainbow vacuum cleaner guy came to my house and did a demonstration, and couldn't.find.dirt. :-D
P.S. Stay tuned for a rave review of Vinegar's first cousin, Baking Soda, and how to use it.
P.P.S I don't know if vinegar and baking soda are actually related in any kind of scientific way. They just work so well together, I assumed... :-)
My grandma uses a lot vinegar for cleaning. I always hated the smell, but it works!! She also mixed vinegar with amoniacum, works great but I can't stand the smell...
