I've cleaned with vinegar before but I didn't realize I cold dilute it to only 5% and still get good results

[BargainClipper]

@ladonnanichole Yeah, that stuff is pretty concentrated. For tough dirt or stains, you may still want to use it full strength, but dilute it for general cleaning and you will saving money ;-).

[NoToxTips]

Good tip. Been using this one for years. XLNT!

Also don't forget vineager is great for cleaning windows and mirrors (I use full strength, but diluted will probably work too).

Thanks!

@NoToxTips You're welcome and thanks for the tip about using vinegar as a glass cleaner; I have to try that out sometime!

[Misshaircare2009]

I tried it and it's ok,..it works as good as using bleach or ammonia. The difference is with vinegar is that it dries faster. Not bad.

[BargainClipper]

@Misshaircare2009 I'm glad to hear that you tried it. I recently mopped my floors after all of this snow and had to increase it to one-cup and it did great! The fast-drying time is one of my favorite parts about using vinegar on my floors ;-).

[BargainClipper]

@Misshaircare2009 Only if you want to mix them together, but you don't have to. Most would probably suggest not mixing commercial cleaners with natural-based ones because they could cancel each other out. So if I was in your shoes, I would use one or the other, but not both together.

[Misshaircare2009]

Should I mixed these two with a little pinesol?

[BargainClipper]

Thanks!

[BargainClipper]

You're welcome and I'm glad that it is a tried and tested cleaning solution ;-).
