How To Clean Your Home With Vinegar

Step 1: Kitchen Bacteria

Fill your plastic spray bottle full of vinegar and use the solution on your countertops, cupboards, stove and microwave. The acid in the vinegar will safely remove stains, kill most bacteria and absorb offending odors.

Step 2: Wash Your Dishwasher

Soap buildup can leave streaks on your glassware and old food will stick to the inner workings of your dishwasher. Pour one cup of vinegar into a measuring cup and pour it into the bottom of your dishwasher. Set your dishwasher heat on the highest heat level possible and run a full cycle to disinfect everything and leave your dishwasher sparkling clean.

Step 3: Common Scents

Most commercial air fresheners mask odors and usually contain dangerous chemicals that can cause more harm than good. Using white distilled vinegar is safe, highly effective and very inexpensive. Pour distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar mist into the offending areas and let it work on the odors. In a few moments the vinegar will evaporate and so will your odors.
