We often only see vinegar as an ingredient for cooking. House Cleaning experts have proven how versatile vinegar can be. This multi-tasker can be a power cleaner, deodorizer, disinfectant and also be used as a beauty aid.

I have collected a lot of uses for vinegar with the help of our House Cleaning Round Rock team and have documented them to share to everyone why I consider this substance my “Holy Grail”.

 ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER

 White vinegar is the best solution to a simple home-made cleaner. According to a House Cleaning expert, white vinegar could be used to remove stubborn stains. Soaking the affected area with vinegar for a few hours can already lift off stains from any surface.

• Kitchen countertops

• Kitchen floor

• Pots and pans

• Removing water/mineral deposits

• Ovens

• Sink and faucet

• Bathroom wall and floor

• Bathtub and showerheads

• Shower curtains and glass doors

• Toilet

 Using other chemicals may be harmful to our health and environment. For stubborn stains, you can sprinkle to the surface with baking soda and spray a generous amount of vinegar. Quoting my favorite House Cleaning lady “This will help dissolve any fat residue and will make it easier to wipe off after”.

 DISINFECTANT

 Because of its acidity, vinegar possesses qualities that can disinfect surfaces. Another tip from our House Cleaning pros is to mix vinegar with equal parts of water and put in a spray bottle. This can be used to clean all kinds of surfaces around the house from SOME bacteria and viruses (not effective with the COVID-19 virus).

• Doorknobs and handrails

• Leather couches and sofas

• Countertops and Sink

• Chopping boards

• Kitchen Utensils

 STAIN REMOVER

 In addition to its uses, vinegar is a great stain remover because of its high acid content. For cloth stains, you need to soak them in vinegar for 2-3 hours and apply a paste made from equal parts of vinegar and baking soda. House Cleaning professionals tip is not to rub vigorously not to damage the material instead use a used toothbrush to brush it off. If stain persists add a small amount of detergent to vinegar and leave overnight.

• Red wine spills

• Yellow Stain on Toilet bowl

• Bloodstains on fabric

House Cleaning Round Rock uses this step to help make your homes and the environment safe.

 Deodorizer

 There are affordable and more natural ways to help reduce and eliminate odors at home. And vinegar is the best natural way to do it according to our House Cleaning friends. If used alone, it can remove fishy smell from the kitchen fridge, paint smell from newly painted rooms and unpleasant smell from bathrooms and so many others. If used with your favorite essential oil they can even act as a natural air freshener.
