White Vinegar is a staple product in many households. Naturally distilled from grains or cane sugar, it is such a simple and natural product that can save you costs and time spent doing chores and gardening. In this post, you can read about the diversity of white vinegar uses and hacks, as well as discover whether switching to eco white vinegar is worth it.
1. Remove Limescale from taps and shower glass.
A natural vinegar component- acetic acid, is a great solution for removing even the most stubborn limescale. Spray the surface with the liquid and let it do its work for 5-10 minutes. Simply wipe it off, no need to rinse! You’ll be surprised how easily the limescale comes off.
Wait, that’s not everything! Your kettle deserves sprucing up too: Add equal parts of vinegar and water to the appliance and bring it to the boil. The nasty limescale will come off before you see it, with no harmful chemicals attached!
2. Remove mould with a bleach alternative!
Unlike bleach, white vinegar works on both, porous and non-porous surfaces, such as wood and marble. It’s great at killing germs and 80% of mould species, including the famous black mould! Vinegar kills the fungus at its root, preventing it from coming back later. Spray affected areas and leave the liquid to do its magic. If you’re not a fan of the strong vinegar smell in your home, try our Sorrento Lemon scented white vinegar with a 100% natural lemon fragrance!
